Britain has the highest rate of.....

Divorces in the EU!

You know that people have been saying 'one in three marriages ends in divorce' for absolutely ages?  Well, it's out of date.  According to a recent survey (from the EU's Eurostat statistical office in Luxembourg), the UK rate of divorce is now 2.8 per 1000.

It's not really something to be particularly proud of, but this is the highest rate in the EU.  Luxembourg (where the whole report came from, remember) has a rate of just 0.6 per 1000.

So, does this prove that if you love statistics you won't get divorced??
