Actually if it's OK I'll stop talking Northern for the time being, doesn't half give a fellow jaw-ache, don't know how anyone manages it full-time. Doreen and Stan went off for a cheap holiday and are currently stranded sur le continent as Jimmy Young used to have it. And of course you're correct about the co-incidence of Edith and Ken's chest problems. Though Edith probably wouldn't like the comparison much, given Ken's hirsuteness and general lack of muscle tone. Edith is a stickler for waxing and practically a martyr to the gym, so much so that her SO Jim says "That walnut-looking booger down at 'Buns Of Steel' has 'ad more intimacy wi' thee in't last three month than I've 'ad this last six year". But that's Jim for you. But you're correct, this could be a disturbing trend concerning people connected to the pub trade and pulmonary difficulties. I think I'll write a piece for The Lancet. How does 'Having a Bit of a Chest in the Licensed Victuallers Racket' sound as a title? Though truth be told I still reckon Ken's putting it on a bit.
