    Default Its fat up north

    http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/5299510.stm

    ooh i love it when my prejudices are confirmed. And I notice that the ten places with the fewest heart attack dodgers are all in London.

    Proof, as if it were needed, that the South is far better than the North, and that London pwns all.

    Maybe if they hadn't closed the coal mines....

    The South may laugh now, but wait until the famine comes.

    In the south they eat human souls and drink blood, neither of which is very fattening.

    I imagine that all the fat people in The City were so cruelly mocked by the merchant bankers that they decided to off themselves/move.

    On the topic of being fat, I'd love to visit the UK and try all of the wonderfully decadent beers...

    Newcastle brown ale is my hero...

    The south is better than the north

    My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.

    I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.

    This isn't news. They're a people that batter everthing but have no way to burn off the fat. Bring back heavy industry, shipbuilding first.

    England is kind of the other way up to America. All the yuppies live in the South of England. All the real men live in the North of England.

    What a load of high-and-mighty bollocks. Ooh look! These cities are "fat"! They're crap, and we're better! Let's mock them!" Sodding arrogant tossers. London wasn't on the top 10 list? Whoopdy pissing doo, this calls for a celebration!

And therefore I exhort you to consider that now the time is come, appointed to us by God, in which ye may (if ye will) cast off the yoke of bondage, and recover liberty. - John Ball

    To be fair, it wasn't just not in the top ten. It also took up the entire least obese list.

    I'm taking a wild guess here, but it looks like all the soft shandy drinking pooftahs in London just edged ahead in the "sense of humour" stakes too....

    To be fair, he does claim to be an 'ejit'.

    Anyway, I'd guess that because London is full of foreigners, then they are the healthy/slim ones. Take them out and you'd be left with lots of fat Englishmen.

    Apparently so. I certainly don't see anything funny about this. It's the BBC reporting some pointless dross as "News" again and another stuck up list of "the 10 Worst -----!" no matter how you want to look at it. The fact that it's positive about London just adds further insult.

    London has a mcDonalds, Kentucky fried chicken and a burgerking in every street, I saw a lot of fat people. Fat isn't really the word, a huge shambling dripping mass that has little to none human features, disgusting. If you insist on being such a hidious eat/shitmachine at least do those with an eye for beauty a favor and become bedridden and die, bleh.

    i'll have you know that i am no yuppie it's just the cornish... but it is true that anything south of London is completely ignored, maybe we should all get fat and be in the news... apart from that, when i went to london i really noticed the fat people, there are more in london i would have thought... but then again all you northern monkeys prolly have huge beer bellies

    Oh dear, didn't intend to offend any northerners. But if you know its drivel, then why take any notice and get so charged up about it?
