According to this article the average Briton has only three true friends. A poll of 3,000 people founds that whilst most people claim to have 16 friends, 48 per cent admit that most of those people are friends out of habit. The study found that the typical Briton is actually only left with three close friends and that they lose touch with a average of 36 people over the years. More than half of people polled said that their busy lifestyles was the main reason for failing to keep in touch with friends and four of of ten said they simply drifted apart. Do you agree with the results of the poll?
