"LIFE expectancy is TEN YEARS lower in parts of the North than the South,
grim figures reveal today.
Blackpool men have the lowest predicted life-span in England at 73.6 years - compared to 84.3 in London's posh Kensington and Chelsea.
And women in the Lancashire town can expect to live to 78.8 - ten years less than those in the West London borough.
The national average is now 77.9 years for men and 82.0 for women."

What a load of old scroat. I have nothing but contempt for the people who put together these surveys. The fact that it comes from the sun says it all.

A couple of years ago they did one saying Middlesbrough is the worst place to live in Britain. Here is the wonderful Jeff Stelling keeping it real.

I thought he'd never mention Roy Chubby Brown.

That was a good rant. Wonder if it was on his autocue, very impressive if it was all off the cuff.

Half of the residents of Kensington are probably not ethnically even English - they'll be rich blow-ins. Certainly rich, which has more to long with how long they live.

Excellent rant, maybe I'll watch Sky Sports News more often from now on.

I can testify that Middlesbrough is not even the worst place in Teesside, let alone the country when you have Saltburn and Thornaby just outside.

And of course, travel a few miles further North and you get to Sunderland, which for all intents and purposes makes Boro look like Venice.

This isn't a serious debate..
