Britain has slipped out of the top 20 most desirable countries in which to live for the first time, according to UN data, beaten by France, Australia and the United States.
Norway tops the study, which ranks countries on their education, wealth and life expectancy, using figures compiled by the United Nations Development Programme.
Britain, which was ranked 16th two years ago when the UN last conducted the research, has slipped five places to be ranked 21, only a few places ahead of Slovenia, Greece and Andorra in the Human Development Report 2009.
In 1990, Britain was ranked tenth on the index, which measures how "developed" 182 countries are.
So what landslide event happened in the 1990's that has dropped Britain into the tulipehole category?
