The Grim Reaper

The Office for National Statistics sets out male life expectancy rates for local authority areas:

Lowest life expectancy 2002-2004
Rank order/Local Authority/Years

432 Glasgow City 69.3
431 Inverclyde 70.3
430 West Dunbartonshire 70.7
429 Renfrewshire 71.8
428 Comhairle Eilean Siar 72.2
427 Manchester 72.3
426 North Lanarkshire 72.4
425 Dundee City 72.5
424 Blackpool 72.8
423 Liverpool 73.2

Some useful argumentation here for higher public spending in Scotland than elsewhere; or, alternatively, a comment on the appalling Scottish lifestyle.
