White van man on... the King's Fund study

Yet another health report from busy-bodies called the King’s Fund.

Yet another health report from busy-bodies called the King's Fund, which I thought was a place out of Game of Thrones ‘cos it's got the word King in it like King's Landing, telling us that people in Grimsby don't eat enough broccoli whereas in Richmond on Thames they can't get enough of the stuff which is why everyone in Richmond lives to be 89 apparently and everyone in Grimsby pops their clogs at 72.

Look, there's a limit to the amount of time you want to spend in Grimsby and 72 years sounds about right to me whereas 89 is far too long. Also the idea that I'd have to spend another 17 years living on muesli and carrot juice doesn't grab me at all especially in Richmond surrounded by all those joggers and wrinkly grannies in leotards doing yoga by the river.
