  Britishness Abroad

  New research by the MORI Social Research Institute on behalf of the Royal Society for the encouragement of Arts, Manufactures and Commerce (RSA) indicate that the 'British sense of humour', the 'stiff upper lip' and a 'bulldog spirit' are often seen as typically 'British' characteristics. The qualitative work involves a series of focus groups in Milan, Mumbai, Chicago and King's Lynn and in-depth discussions with London correspondents to a range of foreign media.

  Pressure On British Businesses To Off-Shore Is Great And Becoming Greater

  Three in ten (30%) of the CBI member organisations surveyed have off-shored activities; even more feel that the pressures to do so are great (45%), and becoming greater (51%). With the "push" factors becoming more prominent, there are also a number of "pull" factors encouraging organisations to off-shore: almost all of those considering or currently off-shoring feel the potential for off-shoring has increased with improvements in technology (91%).

  British 'Can Be Persuaded' On EU

  British views on the new EU Constitution could be affected by persuasive arguments that it would be either good or bad for the country, according to new research from MORI. The project, part of regular surveys carried out for Citigroup, shows one in five (22%) say they are generally in favour of Britain adopting the European constitution, but could be persuaded against if they thought it would be bad for Britain. More than a quarter (28%) are generally opposed to Britain adopting the European constitution, but could be persuaded in favour if they thought it would be good for Britain.

  Young People And Healthy Living

  "My Body, My Self" is the second study from the Nestlé Social Research Programme, with data collected by MORI. It looks at young people's values and motives about a healthy lifestyle. The study is full of fascinating facts about a generation whose awareness of health risks seems not always to be reflected in their behaviour. There are marked differences between the sexes, especially when it comes to exercise and what motivates young people to take part in physical activities. The summary goes on to suggest that the key for this age group seems to be either enjoyment of the activity or how it improves their appearance.

  The American Election

  The American Presidential Election is over… I think. Senator Kerry has conceded to President Bush, but then so did Senator Gore, in 2000. As I write, on 'screaming deadline', there are still three states which haven't been decided, Ohio, Iowa, and New Mexico. By 3:30 am on ITN's election night programme I had called Iowa and New Mexico for the President, but Ohio was still too close to call in our view (although Fox, and then NBC, had done so) by the time we went off air at 6:00 am.
