What if I told you that smiling and being agreeable influences the length of your life positively. On the other hand, being grumpy increases the likelihood of a violent death, heart disease, cancer etc. This is according to a report in American Psychologist.
So, what makes us laugh and smile?
Lots of things of course, but we often turn on the TV, watch a film or read a book that makes us laugh, or at least – smile.
The British comedy scene flourished, bringing joy, laughter, and a cup of tea into the homes of millions.
Three iconic British comedies, not only shaped television history but also filled the hearts of viewers with genuine mirth and happiness –
Fawlty Towers, Only Fools and Horses, Dad’s Army.
And from the US – Friends, Cheers, Frasier, to name a few, all raise a smile and make us happy.

The world can be a dark place at times, and we all need something light-hearted to entertain and distract us. Happily, there are a host of witty, satirical and downright hilarious books out there, waiting to put a smile back on our faces.
This latest book tells the story of Colin Bott is a middle-aged man who loses his job as an unsuccessful letting agent, and discovers how to speak at funeral services as a Celebrant.
When attending the funeral of his boss’s wife, Colin discovers the service is being conducted by a non-religious person – a Celebrant.
He is intrigued by this, and on losing his job, and several new job disasters, he decides that becoming a Celebrant is the job for him.
He starts his research by attending funerals at crematoriums, cemeteries and wakes, and he also experiences several unnerving ghostly situations.
His love interest, Mia, from the fish n chip shop below his flat, is horrified when she discovers Colin is not a man of religion, and is proposing to conduct funerals. But she quickly comes around when she discovers there is money to be made – without the smell of fish n chips.
Colin eventually starts conducting funeral services, which don’t always go to plan. He also discovers he can communicate with the deceased person, with hilarious, and sometimes scary outcomes.
