The 2011 Census was the first to ask how well people could speak English when this was not their main form of communication.
Figures released by the Office for National Statistics (ONS) showed 138,000 residents could not speak the language at all. Some 726,000 had a weak grasp of English.
Around 1.6 million could speak the language 'well' while around 1.7 million could speak it 'very well'.
The national tongue is not the main language for about four million residents - around eight per cent of the population.

Doctors DO feel your pain, brain scans reveal - and they feel better when the treatment works
Doctors' brains were scanned while seeing patients they thought were in pain
Scans revealed that in doctors' brains, the areas activated when experiencing pain also lit up
When doctors thought they had relieved patients' pain, activity in this brain region subsided

They then asked the doctors to give face-to-face interviews with two 'patients' before observing them undergoing apparently the same heat treatment. They were then asked either to treat the patient with a pain-relieving device or to take no action.・・・
When the doctors saw that the patients seemed to be in pain, there was more activation in a region of their brain that usually activates when feeling actual direct pain.

‘Couples in which men participate more in housework typically done by women report having sex less frequently,’ said the study’s lead author Dr Sabino Kornrich, of the Juan March Institute in Madrid.
Men who refuse to help around the house could increase conflict in their marriage and lower their wives’ marital satisfaction,’ said Dr Kornrich.

As a result, it said the ad ‘was not likely to be seen as condoning or encouraging harmful discriminatory behaviour, or reinforcing negative stereotypes of men or women’.
The watchdog said: ‘We acknowledged that single fathers and men with primary domestic responsibilities might find the presentation of the mother playing the central role in the Christmas preparations distasteful.’ However, it said this was unlikely to cause serious offence.
Similarly, it rejected the idea that children without mothers would suffer any serious hurt.

Overall individual alcohol consumption higher in France, Spain and Portugal

Continental cafe culture is often held up as a model of responsible drinking.
But adopting it in Britain would have a detrimental effect on the nation’s health, an expert warned yesterday.
While the UK has some of the highest levels of binge drinking in Europe, the overall amount of alcohol consumed by the average Briton is lower than that drunk by people in many continental countries.
As a result, the number of alcohol-related deaths in Britain is lower than in countries such as France, Portugal and Spain.

The happiness discrepancy was less pronounced for friendships and relationships because, said the researchers, friendships are associated with a sense of community rather than hierarchy, and having power in such situations is less important.
友情で大事なのは上下関係というより仲間意識なので、権力をもっていても、友情や親交については、幸福度がとくに強い、ということはなかった、。・・・・という意味ではないのか？ とすれば、やっぱ、他の人より、孤独なんじゃないの？
