'To have on average over 60 friends, with most of these bonds formed in the workplace, would have been unthinkable only 30 years ago.
'But nowadays Brits seem comfortable with ‘blended relationships’ formed in the office outnumbering traditional friendships formed at school, college or university.
'Colleagues are no longer just colleagues.
'They’re doubling up as pals too as we spend more and more time interacting with co-workers in and out of work, and online, sharing gossip and general chitchat.
'Many years ago we wouldn’t have dreamt of divulging such information to anyone other than our best friend.'
The research also found that office rifts can actually help some work friendships blossom.
Sharing a dislike for a colleague or boss helped 13 percent of workers form friendships, with those in sales and charity more likely to bond over rivalry in the workplace.
Meanwhile, half of us insist shared interests outside the workplace, such as music and sport, are important for building meaningful friendships.
The top 5 places we’re most likely to find our 64 friends are:
1. The workplace (17)
2. School or college and Uni (14)
3. Social activities and clubs (14)
4. Social Media (13)
5. Other - such as through mutual friends or family connections (6)
