Nurofen carries out a nationwide survey to identify the UK Summer pain hot-spots

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) September 28, 2009 -- In-depth nationwide research¹ from Nurofen, has identified the UK's summer pain hot-spots, with Portsmouth, Newquay and Bournemouth the cities that locals themselves rate as the biggest pains in the country.

Nurofen*, which is scientifically proven to target pain at its source, asked people from 20 cities across the UK to grade their locales on common summer headache-inducing issues such as hot and overcrowded public transport, too many tourists and noise late into the night.

Portsmouth scored most highly on the pain-o-meter² with a score of 50/100, followed by Newquay and Bournemouth versus Newcastle, the country's most pain-free city, which totalled just 33/100. Coming close behind are the other Northern cities of Sheffield and Edinburgh.

The top five summer seasonal concerns we wish we could target are:
•A lack of air conditioning in indoor public spaces (63% of people)
•Hot, overcrowded public transport (62%)
•Traffic jams caused by tourists (60%)
•Twisting ankles wearing flip-flops due to uneven pavements (55%)
•Neighbours playing music late into the night (54%)
