London, November 3: A new British survey has revealed that baby-boomers, who were born in the Swinging Sixties, are far more relaxed about infidelity than younger people.

The same proportion of older and younger people admitted to having cheated on their partners — at about a quarter — during the poll, which compared the views of over- and under-fifties.

However, people aged over 50 were far less likely to worry about it or see it as a reason to split up.

The surveyors found that only 36 per cent of the over-50s regretted being unfaithful, compared to 52 per cent of the younger group doing so.
