UN-commissioned study in UK, US, Ireland, Australia, Canada and New Zealand finds satisfaction rises with age

I’ve no idea how this crisis actually plays out.

This is a crisis. A large crisis. In fact, if you got a moment, it’s a twelve-storey crisis with a magnificent entrance hall, carpeting throughout, 24-hour portage, and an enormous sign on the roof, saying ‘This Is a Large Crisis’. A large crisis requires a large plan. Get me two pencils and a pair of underpants.
