According to a study which examined the speed at which Britons complete a range of everyday tasks such as spending money, eating and having sex by Virgin Media, reveals millions of people are in danger of ‘meltdown’ because they race through life at break-neck speed.Workers are spending their monthly wages well before their next pay day and scores of people are bolting down their evening meal in less than ten minutes. Meanwhile, others are hurrying through love-making in just two minutes.

The study revealed those in the North East top the fastest-living lifestyle, while those in London lead the most laid-back lives.

Psychologists warn Britons could do serious damage to their health and relationships unless they slow down.
