We may not have a freaky medal machine like Michael Phelps up our sleeves, but there is one activity the English will never be bettered at: moaning. While China explodes in a really quite over-the-top performance of national pride, a new survey shows that Brits aren't that bothered about the 2012 Olympics taking place right here in the capital. While a sizable section of the population has been whinging about it from the outset,......

A tedious survey from a government department we'd barely heard of has concluded that kids in the UK know little to nothing about the 2012 Olympic Games coming their way. The Olympic bad news yawnarama continues. Considering it's 4 years off, the whole Beijing thing's yet to explode and that the research was mostly conducted almost a year ago we're really not that surprised and care even less. 4 years is an inconceivably long......

Love London as we do, we know that some of this city's tourist "attractions" don't exactly represent value for money. According to a survey by the Sunday Telegraph, London's fee-paying attractions are among the most expensive in the world. The newspaper compared the cost of visiting nine popular attractions in London and ten other cities across the world, and found that a sight-seeing trip here would trouble the family wallet by the sum of......

You wouldn't believe it from the weather but summer really is here and the news is therefore getting thin. So, it's definitely time for a spurious survey to deliver some asinine assumptions to pad out the business pages and get a wedge of PR to boot. Today, a survey by an IT security company claims that City workers are addicted to email. Gadzooks! Send them to the Priory, cry we who check our emails,......

Going to hospital is rarely fun -- the docs are never as cute as on Grey's Anatomy, they poke and prod you in uncomfortable ways, and the visit always takes longer than planned. And while some hospitals try their best to make you as comfortable as possible, others leave patients trying to detach their IVs and hobble towards the exits. Falling into the latter category, apparently, is Ealing Hospital. It was rated worst in the......

Yawn. Londonist is fed up of dour news pieces and negatively-biased research polls foisting bleak forecasts on to the public of an overly expensive and poorly designed 2012 Olympics. Are we heading for the crappest Olympics ever? Is the event going to bankrupt our economy? Who really knows? It’s 4 years away! In this latest survey, carried out by current affairs programme Inside Out, 6 out of 10 Londoners said there was nothing really......

Come now. Tell us. Have you ever been caught staring folornly at a stone cold fox across a crowded tube carriage? Have you ever acted on a subterranean erotic impulse? Are you and your lover in fact sitting there now, fondling each other and fondly remembering the time you bumped bits on the Jubilee Line, laughed shyly and struck up a saucy conversation? Qype wants to know, nosy blighters. So does Annie Mole (we......
