    Gap in death rates between North and South

    https://www.theguardian.com/society/...-england-study

    Clearly this is not nearly wide enough - how can we make the gap bigger?

    Instead of building HS2, build a wall going across to divide the grim bits from the south.
    I think the Thames would be a good starting point, then continue it along the M4 corridor, making sure that Swindon doesn't accidentally creep into the south.
    …Maybe we ain’t that young anymore

        That's not fair on Mrs BP.

        After his next divorce he should move North.

          Swindon is south of the Thames, but north of the M4. Isn't that going to complicate things?

            Geographically in the south. Economically, socially and aesthetically in the grim north.

              I was thinking they could move north and then she could kill him with a defence of provocation.

                Chuckled at this news and was questioned at work. The answer?

                Oddly for a Jock I was 24 before I had my first deep fried mars bar and it was served in a chip shop in Stratford On Avon.

                Still don't reckon I'll see much beyond 60 .....I drink too much wine for it to be good for me

                  If they move North they would have a house with a nice garage then she could accidentally run him over while reversing.

                    Would the Official Receiver allow a garage?
