With a Telegraph interactive examining how easy it is for a couple with 2 children in London to live on a single-earner income of £115,000, how easy or difficult do Britons think that would be?

The public are divided, with 31% thinking it would be easy to subsist in the capital on that level of pay, while 34% think it would be difficult – a further 17% see it as neither easy nor difficult

Londoners are more likely to think such a scenario would be easy to live with, with 39% saying so, with a higher rate also describing it as ‘neither easy nor difficult’ (25%) – fewer say it would be difficult (27%)

With a new curriculum in 2028 expected to teach pupils about financial matters, how confident are Britons that those lessons will stick?

Despite the average age of a first time buyer in the UK now standing at 34, the majority of Britons (53%) believe it is likely that most children taught at ages 14-16 would remember their mortgage lessons by the time they bought their first home

Only 37% think most children would not remember these lessons

A shortage of cornichons to sandwich chain Pret A Manger has hit headlines, with the company having to withdraw its Jambon Beurre sandwich as a result in some stores

22% of Britons say they love them, and 34% say they like them

12% dislike pickles, and 13% go so far as to say they hate them – a further 18% are ambivalent, saying they neither like nor dislike them
