Marple life expectancy

[Dave]

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.

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

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 !

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.
