The study was part of the world's first Global Handwashing Day, dedicated to raising awareness about the importance hand hygiene plays in public health.

Probably the most stupid piece of journalism ever.

What a load of Sh*te.

Obviously conducted by some Southern Toff who thinks all Northerns work down the Pit, and keep Ferrets.

In a fight, the North would kick the Souths *rse.

I dunno, it would be a pretty close run thing.


Course if it got really tight, and the Northerners were getting the upper hand, we could alway tell our women that they have tried their best but its time to let the blokes have a go.

To be fair, I hate this kind of article cos it serves no purporse other than to antagonise people.

They swabbed 409 people in 5 cities, and then only at bus and train stations. So like a tiny tiny tiny proportion of people - Its meaningless.

I have to agree with Pete though, all this does is antagonise people and set them against each other.

To think I just wasted mobile broadband bandwidth to read that "story"

I wonder if I send them a letter with a Newcastle postcode they will all panic and don rubber gloves before opening it.

I agree: it's not exactly ground-breaking news is it? It's been common knowledge for years!

Could explain why northerners are more resistant to disease than their soft southern counterparts who are never exposed to such risks

Taking swabs at bus stops ? They may as well have gone into a J D Witherspoons !!

probably because southerners pi$$ their selves and walk around in their pi$$ stained cordroy trousers that are a off beige colour (actual colour is white but years of shandy pi$$ abuse has taken its toll), therefore they dont actually go to the toilet. Now if the survey was how clean people are from the waist down (north south divide) then southerners would be rank!

I'm Scottish, and I regularly bath in sh*t.

Just kidding, I'm actually a bit of a hygiene freak. Do I need a 'study' to tell me that? No.

This was hardly a scientific study: was it? I wonder if theyd have written the same story had the outcome been different?

Isn't it more accurate to say that people using public transport are dirty.
