Half of us miss young, free feeling

NEARLY a quarter of people can’t remember the last time they let their hair down.

And four in 10 have found it more difficult to socialise regularly, the older they’ve become, according to a poll.

The survey of 2,000 adults also found the optimum age deemed for having fun was 24.

Meanwhile, almost half of those polled (46 per cent) admitted they miss feeling young and free.

As a result, the average adult believes it has been three weeks since they last felt properly relaxed.

The research was commissioned by holiday firm Butlin’s to promote its Live Music Weekends.

Butlin’s spokesman Mike Godolphin said: “The research shows how impactful escaping the everyday and letting your hair down can be on people’s overall moods.

“Especially after the past year or so, it’s more exciting than ever to reunite with friends for fun and nostalgic partying.”
