Obviously concerned with both quality and quantity, a quarter of Danes also admit to having more than 20 sexual partners in their lifetime, compared with an average of just one seventh of respondents from other countries.

Sexologist Vivi Hollaender said the high sexual activity seen among Danes could be down to the country having a “tradition for sexual freedom”. She added that people are also perhaps less worried about being promiscuous as there is limited social stigma attached to abortions compared to in other countries.

The study also found, however, that most Danes play it straight when it comes to their bedroom buddies, with just one in 25 reporting slipping between the sheets with someone of the same sex. In comparison, one in six Americans claims to have batted for the same side at least once.

Commissioned by Metro International, which publishes freesheets in 18 countries around the world, the poll questioned 5,483 people in Europe, the US and Canada.

The same is true for the hundreds of packs of McDonald’s burger meat that are likely to be left over when the restaurants officially close at midnight tonight. The burgers come in marked boxes which nobody is allowed buy except licensed McDonald’s restaurants.

People will need to make do with the last remaining hamburgers and children’s toys as their memorabilia. IceNews sources reveal that some people are even stocking up on McDonalds’s cheeseburgers and nuggets only to freeze them at home for later use.

According to Frettabladid it is estimated that over 10,000 McDonald’s burgers have been sold each day this week with a new record likely to be set today.

In a spectacular show of efficiency, the new Metro restaurants are due to open up in the old McDonald’s locations tomorrow and Morgunbladid editor and ex-PM and central bank manager David Oddsson has been offered the first Metro burger for free.

Oddsson was the first ever McDonald’s customer in Iceland while he was Prime Minister in 1993.
