There’s a surprisingly common approach across the country when it comes to Christmas day.
A survey we recently did showed – no surprises there – that 94% of British adults who celebrate Christmas feel positive about it, 58% finish their shopping at least a week before and 82% stated no unusual traditions as their way of spending the day.
As Gary Lynch, CEO at GS1 UK, said: “It’s interesting to see that in a nation that usually embraces its differences, tradition wins hands down at Christmas – and it’s all about standards!”
But if we are looking for stereotypes, then those in the South West dislike Christmas the most (11% are ba humbugs), those in the North East are the most harmonious (75% squabble free), the Welsh are the most generous, Londoners are stingiest and the Scots the most argumentative!
Season's greetings from all at GS1 UK
