    I'm sure I read that one in the Viz

      My money saving tip is to stop driving with your foot glued to the accelerator, get in the slow lane and get home at around the same time having used considerably less fuel and having less worn brake pads.

            Move up north where the economy is 'sensible', where people don't pay £500,000 and sign up for 60 year mortgages to buy a bedsit, where the air is clean, people are friendly, and life is good!

            .
            With all those advantages you'd expect them to be fitter, slimmer and healthier wouldn't you?
            Shame that all the stats show the opposite.
            Is it coz Northeners is thick and can't stay of the lard?

                    Where else but a northern chippie can you buy (and pay good money for) 'scrapings' - which are the burnt frazzled pieces of crapola left over after the fish are all gone?

                    Ah, you can feel your arteries hardening as you read it!
