There's something interesting in the Stockport Express (for a change.......).
It's a table of life expectancy for Stockport by ward. For those who can handle the morbid truth, click on this link: http://www.stockportexpress.co.uk/news/s/1122266_health_inequalities_are_unacceptable
It's fascinating that those who live in Marple South can expect to live about a year longer than those of us who live in Marple North. (Could it be the effect of that balmy tropical climate down there in Marple South?)
Anyway, I fancy an extra twelve months, so I'm thinking of selling up and moving to Marple South. ;)

Errrrrm which areas are Marple North and which are Marple South ??
I was told years ago that if you lived on the Marple hall side of Marple ( that side of the main road ) it was most important to have a 427 dialling code on your phone number to make yourself more posh !!
If you live on the otherside of the main road ( like myself ) and you had a 427 number, you were just a bit of a wannabee posh person !!
As they say, there is nowt funnier than folk ! :P

How late could you leave it to move and claim your extra year :-\

Here's a map, although it's not particularly clear. http://www.stockport.gov.uk/contactyourcouncillor/wardmappdf?a=5441
Basically, Marple North is everywhere north of Stockport Road, plus Rose Hill, Compstall and Mellor. The long-lived wannabee posh people are south of Stockport Road, plus Hawk Green and High Lane.
