I would say as a nation we are getting lazier for sure and its on all levels.
Some of this survey did amuse me though, 15% of people surveyed would rather watch the programme that is on than get up and change the channel if the remote control is broken.
I assume the other 85% thought reality TV was worth the effort of getting up to turn it over. But all hope is not lost because I see a money making opportunity here I am going to train this 15% how to correctly throw the remote control so it renders the TV unusable and they won’t even need get up.
As to the 36% who would not run for a bus I have some sympathy as the bus drivers in London never wait for you if you run for them so its a waste of time, Its a bit like the Greyhound with the hare really.
The figure that 73% of us had no energy for sex explains why people are so miserable these days, But does not explain why we have so many single mums clearly at other 27% is getting more than is fair share.
On a darker note it worries me that so many people were too tired to play with their children or to take a pet for a walk, That really is a sad state of affairs. Bonding with your kids can only come through play and reading with them etc, That does not bode well for the next generation, And why buy a dog if you not willing to take it for a walk, Buy a goldfish and then you just need change its water once a week.
Still on a lighter note its nice to see in 2009 that us Brits excel at something so roll on the 2012 lazy bum Olympics with events such as the 10m I need a pee waddle, remote control shot putting,And the grueling 1000minute reality TV watch.

British too lazy to have sex!
Dr Sarah Dauncey said “…a whole generation will become too unfit to perform even the most rudimentary of tasks.”
Romance is obviously not dead at the Nuffield Health Organisation! 😀

Damn right,we Brits are getting lazier. Some of us are too lazy to do our jobs properly,like the district nurse that turned up to treat my Mum’s ears with none of the proper equipment. Others of us are too lazy to mind their language when there’s a lady present,like the young man in the supermarket yelling into his phone,who bellowed two of the worst swearwords practically in my ear. I would have said something,but I suspect he’d only have called me a ****ing **** too. However,ladies and gentlemen,let me present you with a small snapshot of what life was like when I was growing up – in the 1950s ( chiz ! curses ! wot am I saying ? ) It’s an instruction film for foreigners about how to catch a bus in Britain. All right,I know it’s off topic,but I’d like younger people to see what life was like here before we got lazy. www.youtube.com/watch?v=yBOcLnyMX-M
