Boston was branded with its usual soubriquet in yesterday's News of the World - "our fattest town with almost a third of adults dangerously overweight."
Yet oddly enough if that IS the case why did we fail to qualify for a place among the nine areas which were today given the go-ahead to become "healthy towns" under a plan by ministers to combat obesity.
Dudley, Halifax, Sheffield, Tower Hamlets in London, Thetford, Middlesbrough, Manchester, Tewkesbury and Portsmouth will share a £30m pot.
If we are as fat as they say, we should have swallowed our pride instead of our sausages and grabbed a share of that sort of cash.
And if we're not now the fatties the papers claim, then why we don't we put the word out so that comics like the NOTW stop rubbishing the town?
