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.

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.
