A poll of 2,000 adults revealed they will also spend an average of 125,143 minutes – the equivalent of 87 days – chatting to pals over the phone and we will send an enormous 36,036 messages.
The average adult currently has 10 good friends – with one in 10 knowing their closest companion since they were six.
It also emerged that 17 years is the average length of a friendship, although 17 percent have had the same best friend for more than 30 years.
