France has been found to have the best quality of life out of Europe's biggest countries, while Britain has the worst despite having the highest incomes.

A study by uSwitch.com says British workers can expect to spend three years longer at work and die two years younger than their French counterparts.

They also pay above the European average for fuel, food, alcohol and cigarettes.
