Check out the fat map of Britain

Sat on your fat bottom, tracksuit straining around your thick middle, scoffing a bun? Yep, you probably live in one of these sexy sounding ‘obesity hotspots’.

Here’s the top ten in all their glory.

In the top slot: Barnsley: Just south of Sheffield, where all the mines and factories closed and everyone got fat.

2. North Lincolnshire: Where? Somewhere slightly up from, west from and down from lots of other fat places. To the east is the sea.

3. Doncaster: Slap bang in the middle of the north, south of Sheffield. Had floods in 2007, which had no impact on obesity but is newsworthy.

4. Stoke-on-Trent: Home of oatcakes. And Phil ‘The Power’ Taylor. And Robbie Williams. All of which have quite a high fat content.

5. Wolverhampton: Like a cruddier, fatter Birmingham.

6. Blackpool: Understandable given all the ice cream and chippies sloshing about on the beach.

7. Knowsley: Within running distance of St Helens, not that anyone from Knowsley goes running, evidently.

8. Northumberland: Lots of lovely farmland, lots of lovely produce, all of which have made Northumberland ‘jolly’ around the middle.

9. Halton & St Helens: Where no-one goes running to Knowsley, either.

10. South Tyneside: Relatively small, says Wikipedia. Relatively fat, says us.
