SUMMERTIME (well, in the northern hemisphere), the living is easy and holidaymakers are at the seaside. Canadians have the greatest choice, with the world's longest coastline. Leaving aside tiny islands, Monaco has the shortest coast. As for another holiday activity—slurping ice cream—Canadian data suggest that New Zealanders guzzle the most, a staggering 26.3 litres each, followed by Americans with 18.7 litres each, every year. Canadians themselves are more modest, licking up just 9.5 litres each.
