It's quite rare to see England topping any charts these days. Eurovision Song Contest, World Cup, Hosting the World Cup, are all passing by. Even the economy continues to spiral downwards.
There is one chart however, which England looks close to topping and where the trends are ever-upwards: the obesity charts. Data from the OECD shows that in the obesity stakes, England is a European Champion.
And if we go on expanding at this rate-around 1 per cent a year - we'll maybe be able to beat the US at their own game!
Strange that no-one has thought to link the downward spiral in England's sporting performance with the upward spiral in obesity rates.
I hope they are installing some wides seats in the London 2012 Olympic Stadium
