Cheer up! Corby revealed as one of the towns with the UK's grumpiest men

The study looked at anonymous data from 250,000 of the men registered with dating site elitesingles.co.uk to see how strongly they agreed with the statement ‘I laugh often.’

These scores were then averaged out by area and as laughter is a sign of happiness, the towns with lowest scores determined where the grumpiest men in the UK live.

The results revealed that men in Spalding need cheering up the most. Followed closely by men in Greenford and Southall. Men in Corby named as the UK’s 7th grumpiest.

It seems that the men up North are much cheerier than their counterparts down South, as no Northern towns appear in the list of top ten towns with the grumpiest men. In fact, five of the towns with the grumpiest men are in London.
