Britons prefer free time



London - Britons would rather have a shorter working week than a pay rise, according to a survey published over the weekend.

A quarter of the 2 000 respondents in the survey, carried out by Tesco Express, would prefer a four-day working week to a £10 000 ($18 700) pay increase.

One-third of those surveyed said they had no free time at all until after 21:00, and 60% of the respondents said they did not get enough sleep.

Only 20% said they got eight hours of sleep per night, with the majority sleeping for six hours or less.

"As a nation, it seems we are literally running out of time, and consumer lifestyles are changing as a result," said Colin Holmes, chief executive of Tesco Express.
