I SAW a report on television that Morecambe was the place in the North West where life expectancy was the highest.

I could not believe my ears when, on local radio the next day, a report stated people who make a bequest to charity also outlive their contemporaries.

Therefore, I must conclude, to ensure longevity, make a will and move to Morecambe.
