These are the top 40 'moments of excitement' among Lancashire locals

The average Lancashire adult experiences 12 ‘moments of excitement’ a month – including consuming caffeinated drinks before going to bed and pressing snooze on their alarm clock.

Researchers polled 2,565 adults – with Lancashire locals among them – and found they take a walk on the wild side by sleeping with make-up on and turning up to restaurants without a booking.

They’ve also been known to go outside with wet hair, putting rubbish in the ‘normal’ bin when it should be recycled, and using someone else’s favourite mug.

Lancashire locals pursue moments of excitement the most at 24

The study, which was undertaken on behalf of 888poker, found locals were most inclined to pursue moments of excitement at 24 years old.

Six in 10 said they wish their life was more fun than it is – but that doesn’t mean they don’t appreciate moments of excitement when they happen.

Around three quarters (73 per cent) said seeking out excitement makes things more interesting – and 23 per cent they feel exhilarated when they do such things.

Although 11 per cent said ‘living on the edge’ makes them feel scared.

Further moments of excitement pursued by Lancashire locals include not bothering to close the curtains or blinds when getting quickly changed and eating food past its sell by date.

Going to bed late on a work night, getting the last bus, tube or train home, and wearing high shoes they’re likely to fall over in are also common ‘dangerous’ acts in the county.

One way 17 per cent of locals seek out excitement is by playing poker – but 35 per cent may claim they’re not being risky at all as they consider their style of play to be ‘strategic’.
