The average modern British family revealed
A study into 2,000 UK families found clans up and down the country tuck into two takeaways a month, most often on a Saturday night, and get just three hours of quality time together per day.
They allow themselves an hour long lie-in on a weekend - getting up at 7:55 am - and send the kids to bed at 8:30pm, with sleepy adults following just an hour later at 9:56pm.

Modern families
The study was commissioned by McCain to discover how families have changed in the modern age.
Mark Hodge of McCain said: "As a family business, we understand families and we understand how family composition and behaviours have changed in recent years.

This was followed by documentaries and news and current affairs shows.
Television debates
Additionally, families have eight arguments a month over the telly remote, or what's going to be played on the TV.
And in total, the typical household in the UK will play host to more than 150 rows per year in total.
