Britain has dropped to 25th place on a list of the best places in the world to live - behind countries such as the Czech Republic, Lithuania and Uruguay.
While France tops the poll for the fifth year running, the UK's climate, crime rate, cost of living, congested roads and overcrowded cities have pushed it even further down from last year's ranking at 20.
The Quality of Life Index, published by International Living magazine for the 30th year, says the French live life to the full, while Britons are over-worked.

I neglected to notate this was the Drudge headline.
The French are consuming their seed corn. You can live pretty good for a while doing that.
French food sucks.
France??? Yikes! They don’t like to take showers and they are snooty.
It you are a lefty and are planning to move there, don’t forget your gasmask.
Theres no ice hockey in France (no NHL anyway). That automatically disqualifes.
LOL, that’s what I thought. Maybe they consider watching disaffected yutes torching cars to be cheap entertainment.
France? I’ll pass. I’ve talked to family members and other people who have actually been there. Based on their descriptions, I wouldn’t even visit, let alone live there.
Can we send our illegals to France?
hh
How can France be number one when each night you have to worry whether your yoot neighbors will torch your car?
New Years: “The number of vehicles torched was only 10 short of the record 1,147 burned this time last year, even though the Interior Ministry mobilized 45,000 police during the night”
This report should be posted in Spanish in the Mexican papers with instructions on how to sneak into France. The Mexican government already publishes “How to sneak into the US” materials, they can just change a few words.
Seems to me most people choosing to be nudists should actually wear as much clothing as possible.
Seems to definitely be published in Arabic.
Read the Magazine sometimes.
It’s crap .... full of real estate scams ...
I just don’t think hiking nude is a good idea.
1% food
1% economic development
1% tall piles of bare metal in the middle of the capital
1% nice tree lined marching roads heading from east to west
1% nuclear power
95% ability of population to speak French?
How to write your best XXXXX in the world list:
1. Decide what country you want to win
2. Weight the measurement criteria so that country wins
3. Check for undesirable countries coming too high up the list. If that happens either change the weighting slightly or just remove them from competition.
France, if you like bad food, bad wine, and rude people.
“But it is the country’s bon vivant lifestyle that sets it apart.”
I can get that in southwest Louisiana without the torched cars. Has anyone eaten hot dogs roasted over car bonfires?
