Other pastimes 【B8】 listening to music, gardening, sports, visiting friends or going out for a meal. The 56.8 million people of England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland 【B9】 an 【B10】 12 million household pets.
Most of the homes now have central heating, washing machines, refrigerators, telephones and even cars.
Britain are also 【B11】 . United Kingdom residents took over 17 【B12】 holidays overseas in 1986, 【B13】 15.75 million in 1985, and the most popular destinations were 【B14】 --Spain, France and Greece.
