I better buy a new, previously owned or do up the plus 8 quickly !? Talk of bargains is interesting but…….
…..just read that males born in Blackpool top the countries worst life expectancy at 73.14 years . Passed that milestone. The U.K. average is close to 80 ..
Breathlessly, goodnight MM
PS Thankfully I was born early on a trip back to Blackpool, so technically the fist few days were not in the pool. Hopefully this
affects actuary figures in my case !?
The life expectancy in Blackpool is made worse as it one of the UK most deprived locations. Just a few miles south in affluent LSA and 3 of my neighbors have achieved over 100, 2 are in their late 90's. It's believed the convalescing sea air of the Fylde Coast adds on average an extra 10 years to your life. A neighbour former manager of the RR plating works was given six months to live due to chest problems back in 1963 if he didn't move from Derby, he moved immediately to LSA and only passed in 2004. One of my Grandfathers business partners moved up here for a few years to recover/convalesce from a serious chest problem in the 70's, hence why we got to know the area so well. Great sea air, can you imagine what the average age in Blackpool would be without the sea air to extend it.
