I feel that old age coming on

I know this is an old story but the fine detail had previously escaped me: people in some parts of Cornwall can expect to live longer than others. According to the Office for National Statistics, by the year 2033, folk in the former Caradon, North Cornwall and Penwith districts can expect to live up to eight years more than the UK national average. In the former Kerrier, Carrick and Restormel districts its closer to four years more. If you don't want to hang around too long, try moving to Glasgow where the additional life expectancy by 2033 is a mere 0.1 year, or (nearly) 37 days.
