Children in the Republic of Ireland Happier than British Counterparts

A new report published this week has revealed that children in the Republic of Ireland are happier and fitter than their British counterparts.
Based on factors such as school life, exercise and happiness at home, the paddies have a better quality of life it would seem.

The report announced "They spend less time on computers" - This fact seems superfluous as it is well known that the Republic of Ireland seems like 1891 compared to the rest of the world and only having one 'Computer' in the whole country (a replica of the famous 'difference engine' created by Charles Babbage). If you were to talk about 'facebook' and 'xbox' they'd have no idea what you were talking about.  The closest thing they have to social networking in the ROI is a huge network of carrier pigeons. 
The high levels of fitness can be attributed to a diet consisting more or less of potatoes and working from as young as the age of 5 in the potato business.
Irish representatives have so far not answered our emails for comment.
