I reckon if you did a review of the parents IQ and career history you would find that that there is a correlation between unhealthy kids and thick/unemployable adults.

and that is not a coincidence but a direct realtionionship

Um, it's linked to poverty levels. Which are linked to job levels. Which are due to central government's refusal to invest in the north, not due to local government.

BBC Inside Out -

There has been a huge influx of Eastern Europeans over the last 12 months in the North West of England.

Blackpool in particular has attracted large numbers of migrants.

There are estimated to be 20,000 Eastern Europeans, mostly Poles, now living and working in the resort and surrounding area.

No contest.

One southern borough on the "unhealthy" list and one Northern borough on the "healthy" list.
I would wager that these areas are also defined by which party has political control of their areas

Lets hope counting is better up North, as I see two unhealthy Southern on the list!

Two southern. Torbay and Southwark. I'm surprised at Torbay, it being in South Devon.

Full of Northerners mate

Perhaps it's not north / south, it's immigrant infested / immigrant free?

How is your BMW 108i running?

Is your wife still posting her pout-faced-wine-glass-in-one-hand selfies on tumblr, facebook etc?

Have you booked your holiday to Tenerife yet?
