IT'S GOOD NEWS IF YOU'RE NAMED DAVE OR KATIE AS APPARENTLY YOU'RE SOME OF BRITAIN'S CHEERIEST PEOPLE - BUT VICTORS ARE VERY GRUMPY, NEW FINDINGS SUGGEST 17:52, 21 May


2025 Blokes named Dave and women called Katie are the most cheerful people in Britain, according to findings. New research revealed 23% said Daves, like The Office star David Brent, were the


happiest people they’ve ever met - followed by Katie at 17%, and Charlie and Emily who both took 16% of the vote. But it’s bad news for chaps called Victor, perhaps influenced by TV’s most


famous curmudgeon Victor Meldrew, from One Foot in the Grave, with 17% saying they are miserable. Susan, Karen and Nigel also took the top spots on the list of the most miserable names. The


Happiness Index, commissioned by ‘Shop & Win’ platform, Winnrz, also revealed that despite their grumpy stereotype, Northerners were the happiest in the UK. Some 44% said people from up


north are generally a cheery bunch, compared to just 17% who said Southerners had the most to smile about. Other top things that made Brits smile were lazing on a beach on holiday, sitting


in a garden in the sun or cosying up on the sofa with a Friday night takeaway. Winning prizes such as an unexpected cash injection, countryside walks and heading to the pub were also


guaranteed to cheer people up. Partners were the people who brought the most joy, followed by their children and mums, with dads only getting 4% of the vote. Jad Toubayly, founder and CEO of


Winnrz, and Idealz Holding said: “It’s great to see from the research that overall we are a glass half full nation, with Northerners being officially crowned the happiest in the UK. Article
