Ok, so not really saying anything ... BAD.. about the british, but you gotta admit, you've noticed too...

FTA:

Quote:

Around five million people in Britain are short-sighted. The condition usually develops in childhood or adolescence and is often first noticed at school.

It's proof that these guys have no sense of future planning at all.

Short-sightedness - symptoms, causes and treatment

Is this supposed to be a joke?

What does being near-sighted have to do with future planning?

It must be up in the northeast, but Near-sighted people need glasses.
Short-sighted people lack planning.

Yeah, Fred's just pointing out that the article used short-sightedness in-place of near-sightedness. Saying 5 million people have short-sightedness (when meaning near-sightedness) is amusing.

Personally, I'm near-sighted, but not short-sighted.
