Dirty Northerners? How about
In the other three cities - London, Cardiff and Birmingham - the women's hands were dirtier.
Is that because most men are gay in London?
Manual workers had cleaner hands
So avoid professional women from London, they have poo on their hands.

PS holidaying with masses of Brits? I feel unwell.

On a more serious note, so what if most people have faecal bacteria on their hands? This has probably been true for most of human history and the human body wouldn't be able to develop any resistance to infection if everything was squeaky clean.
The fact that we only fall ill rarely suggests that it's not a big deal.
"Dirty Northerners" would have been too offensive to our northern cukers ..and another alternative title to this thread could have been "Dirty Women" . I think i read somewehere that in 3 out of 5 locations surveyed, women had greater faecal contamination than men . Maybe some of the wimmin on this board can comment on this ..and show this survey for the load of carp it is...
