Scents of history: study hopes to recreate smells of old Europe

Researchers plan library of scents from plague repellents to early tobacco

This is an interesting thing to do. The sad thing is that none of these smells will come alive to anyone, the way they do with modern smells, because there is no-one left with the memory of the original scents.

North-south divide in early deaths deepening, study finds

Northerners aged 25 to 44 more likely to die from causes such as suicide and smoking

Socioeconomic deprivation has led to a particularly sharp rise in deaths among 25 to 44-year-olds , according to new data analysis from Manchesteruniversity.

Northerners in that age group were 47% more likely to die from cardiovascular complications, 109% from alcohol misuse and 60% from drug misuse, compared with southerners, the paper published in the Lancet Public Health medical journal stated.

Between 2014 and 2016, 3,530 more men and 1,881 more women aged between 25 and 44 died in the north than in the south, when population and age are taken into account.

It’s just poverty. There’s more money and therefore a better life down south. Even the higher rate of transport deaths - there’s been zero fucking investment in infrastructure up here comparatively. My estate still has the original concrete roads they built in the 60s, that are now all cracked and broken up. They don’t have that in the home counties.
