A DOLGELLAU dozer has been announced as one of the UK’s laziest layabouts.

Following a survey of over 1,000 people, it was revealed that 82 per cent of British men do not make their own bed, and only 15 per cent do their own ironing. Sofa and carpet specialist, ScS launched the search for the country’s lackadaisical loungers.

More than 160 people were nominated for the title with one man, known simply as ‘Harold’, putting Dolgellau on the malingerer’s map.

Pictured in an animal onesie surrounded by a variety of food, Harold was nominated by his partner Rebecca Morgan.

She said: “He’s not always lazy, but when he is, he really is. This is what I came home to after finishing work!

“He had the kids for a few hours, put them to bed then ‘relaxed’. Never mind about the housework eh?!”

The first and second places were taken by men from Blackpool and Hartlepool respectively.
