Analysis:
An interesting question when you think about it as you would expect the answers to be biased to the lower end on the assumption that more people have experienced the lower end than the top end. If I were to ask William, for example, he would only be able to pick one answer. Still, we don't worry about crap like that. I am, however, interested to find that there were quite a few votes on the upper age ranges. I suspect that means people are the happiest they've been now. Well, at least that's what they think, but the reality is their memories are fading and they can't remember how good it was before. Me ... it's those endless school holidays that do it. So many memories of long lazy days in my early teens. Well that and finding out what girls are for.
