Alcohol consumption in 2006 was higher in England (13.7 units a week), than in Wales (13.5) and Scotland (11.6).

How did that happen? We Scots have got a reputation to keep up

Don't worry, those statistics still back up the Scots reputation........ for short arms and deep pockets.....

The English need to drink more - to dull the pain of not being Scottish

What breakthrough research. What will they discover next? Perhaps the real reason for the obesity 'epidemic' - people eat too much bloody food!

They will find out that a cow makes more CO2 then a car.
But hey, there is no money to gain!

So the research goes on to get the money out off the people's wallet.

BTW: sun-activity is rising untill 2012
