> residents have a significantly lower life expectancy that the rest of the UK Diet - Seems like Glaswegians have forgotten Fee-fi-fo-fum In certain parts of the country, the NHS will prescribe some things to elderly people which increases life span, that would normally be found in high levels elsewhere in the country. I doubt Evian or San Pelligrino is high on the shopping list up there either. > London Syndrome is when hostages become argumentative toward their captors—often with deadly results. I think I must be suffering from London syndrome, in much the same way the population of voters feel at general election time, or a congregation feels towards a vicar. |

No idea what "fee-fi-fo-fum" is supposed to refer to, but it seems you're suggesting that Glaswegians simply choose to have a poor diet and therefore suffer poor life expectancies as a result. In reality there are myriad social and health problems that come from having a shitload of deprived areas - can be seen in the link Arethuza posted - and all of these contribute in some way to a lower life expectancy.
If you're going for cheap "Scottish people like alcohol and deep fried food" laughs then, ok fair have your fun. But know that there isn't that much difference north and south of the border on that, so if you're searching for a serious answer you would need to dig deeper.
