According to a study by Pru Health, three quarters of Brits try to be ‘good’ most of the time.
(57% do so simply because they believe it’s the right thing to do 49% do it for their own sense of wellbeing and one in five (20%) believes in karma and that what goes around comes around.
However, remembering one’s ‘Ps and Qs’ and being friendly are the good deeds Brits do most regularly, as well as simple things like holding open a door for someone (70%) and being helpful to others (67%).
Being helpful can be a “good deed”, but the rest is just good manners.)
