Not my opinion, but the findings of Daniel Hamermesh, a professor of pulchronomics (no, me neither) at the University of Texas. I suggest for his next piece of research, he presents his conclusions to locals during happy hour at the Brazen Head in Gorbals. Still, it's a change to see a piece of research which doesn't brand the Midlands as the worst place on earth.

Prof Harmermesh also reckons that the south-east actually has a repellent effect on people who have been smacked round the head by the ugly stick.And, given that London, Milton Keynes and Brighton are probably the three places I would least like to live – closely followed by Gaza City, Pyongyang and central Beirut, obvs – I can only assume that Prof Harmermesh thinks I'm a bit of a munter too.

By the way, Prof Harmermesh is 81, bald, with a wispy white beard and a chin that only Jimmy Hill's mother could love. Do you reckon Catherine Zeta–Jones blew him out, or something?
