Southerners are softies. Official.

From tonights Oldham Chron,
Southerners are five times more likely to dial 999 than Northerners if they are suffering from a sore, swollen ankle, a survey revealed.

While 5% of people living in the South would call an ambulance if they slipped when building a snowman, only one in 100 Notherners would do the same.

The results of the poll, carried out by the Department of Health, were released as Health Minister Rosie Winterton launched the annual Get The Right Treatment campaign.

The project aims to raise awareness of the range of NHS services available.
:p: :D

We seldom get enough snow to build a snowman :(

Maybe the survey should mention the 4 hour wait in casualty & see how many folks would dial 999 then :D

Re: Southerners are softies. Official.

southerners on average earn more, thus pay more taxes, therefore have the right to use 999 more!!! lol (that's a joke by the way)
