It's cus there's fewer people up north, to keep the balance the same they need to be fatter than you poncy southerners; be thankful otherwise Saaarf England would tip into the sea!



/Was never much good at geography/ology....

Yeah, thanks to Labour's really great immigration policy this effect is now starting to be seen.

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?

We never used to pay for scratchings/batter bits. The chippy would give them away along with pea wet (sauce of peas)

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.

Oh come on, be sensible!

I have a tip:-

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!
