But those of us living in the south aren’t quite as up for it as our brethren north of the border: 43 per cent of Scots plumped for sex as their favourite free pursuit compared to 35 per cent in the south of England.

In both regions, a bit of the other was way ahead of other contenders for your free free-time, with window shopping netting 10 per cent of the YouGov survey’s respondents’ votes and visiting a museum six per cent.

The poll was commissioned by sexual health charity the Terrence Higgins Trust to mark World AIDS Day.

“We’re glad that people are finding ways of relieving some of their credit crunch woes,” said Lisa Power of the THT, “but if there’s one thing it’s worth forking out for, it’s condoms. “Alternatively you can get them free from family planning and sexual health clinics.”
