Summer flooding aside, people from Sheffield are the luckiest in Britain according to a new survey.

A team of psychologists from Peterborough university toured the country to create a "luck index" based on people's own perception of how lucky they were.

Those surveyed were asked how often they experienced good luck, such as finding a £10 note, and how often they experienced bad luck, like being hit by bird droppings.

While the South Yorkshire city may be the victim of the collapse of steel-making and relegation from the Premier League, its people rate themselves as blessed by life.

1. Aren't the Arctic Monkeys from Sheffield?

Many consider their rapid ascension to fame via the internet/myspace to be quite an anomaly in the music industry. Coincidence? :shrug:

And I should point out at this point that I'm not from San Francisco, I'm from Hunters Bar!
