Britons bad at keeping promises
A new questionnaire has shown that Britons habitually break promises that they make to themselves.
Chelsea Building Society found that the top "broken promise" was spring-cleaning the house, followed by not buying chocolate. Nearly one in three Brits promise themselves that they will exercise before work – and then don't!
16-24 year olds were shown to be the worst at keeping their word, and amongst other things they admitted to were not paying bills, not recycling, not washing-up, and staying out for the classic "one last drink".
Men fared better than their female counterparts, with women shirking cleaning, dieting, and meeting up with old friends.
However, the survey also unearthed a more serious statistic, with 28 per cent of the people questioned confessing that they fail to pay bills.
Chelsea’s investment marketing manager, Kerri Morgan, said that whilst the survey was fundamentally light-hearted, there may be a "cause for concern" when a quarter of people fail to sort out their financial affairs. |
