See, I told you so. There I am blogging about anger, especially that sneaky stuff and Bobs-your-Uncle, there's a report about it in the papers - 'A nation in fury... Britons are the angriest people in Europe' (Daily Mail, Friday May 15, 2009). Apparently, we Brits, according to a survey, fly into a rage an average of four times a day. Italians only get angry three and a half times a day and the French three times. And, according to a study undertaken by the Mental Health Foundation, at least one in four Britons is battling an anger problem. What is it that makes us an angry nation? Well, endless traffic jams for one and people swearing loudly in public. How about being put through to a foreign call centre when all we want to do is complain. 48% of Brits hate queue jumpers and 43% get infuriated in traffic jams and ill-mannered neighbours got more than a third of Brits hot under the collar. Of course, all this national anger is now being stoked further by the dodgy MP's debacle. I actually know other people who are angry. They come from a wide range of backgrounds and although we all live in different parts of the UK, we are united in anger. In Trade Union terms, we are Brother's - perhaps we should have a banner - yeh, the angry brigade rules!
