Na, straight up with chips.

Even within our own country, you'll find more gingers in Scotland.

And probably more fat folk as well. Though I think the midlands is the real flubbadubba hotspot.

Funny how Britain seems to have that gene in abundance but close neighbours like the French seem to have escaped it altogether, eh?

Considering how there are clearly different genes between us and other European nations (Swedish blonds, Finnish lactose intolerance) not that big a leap. Even within our own country, you'll find more gingers in Scotland.

Isn't the whole "Gallic look" a genetic thing?

Ah bless its my stalker

I don't think I've ever insulted you.
I may have acted like a self-important, arrogant, patronising twunt in just about every post I have ever made.

well when you start using logic not insults I'm sure I can benefit from your example.

I don't think I've ever insulted you.
I may have pointed out your cognitive deficits now and then.

Wow you're learning.
Does that mean you're going to give up Daily Mail opinionated twaddle or is that too much too ask?

Not necessarily. Bipedalism is genetic but fairly commonplace everywhere.

so is red hair but there is more in the UK than many other EU countries because the breeding stock originally consisted mainly of celts.

similar with fair hair and rampant vikings.

this isn't to suggest the discovered gene is linked to hair colour just that certain genes and ethnicities vary across europe so extrapolating genetic behaviour across Europe isn't easy.

Hardly escaped it altogether they have both doubled since 1990 its just France started from a lower level. Oh look statistics instead of opinionated twaddle.

Overweight and obesity - BMI statistics - Statistics Explained

OECD iLibrary: Statistics / Health at a Glance: Europe / 2012 / Overweight and obesity among adults

But the traditional French eating habits are significantly different in my experience they cook more from fresh and eat at a slower pace. Maybe its a combination of factors such as this gene, more processed foods etc.

oh and it being genetic would suggest countries with different breeding stock would have different rates - DOH.
