A SURVEY has revealed 45 is the ‘happiest’ age for people in Lancashire.

The happiness study, carried out by a new dating service called, Love Begins At, is based on psychologist Carl Jung’s elements for happiness.

It showed that 63 per cent of over 45s in Lancashire feel content with their physical and mental health, their personal and intimate relationships, their standard of living and work and also have an appreciation of art and nature, are aware of world issues and news, and have the ability to cope with the ups and downs of life – elements that Jung said were crucial to happiness.
