Tough up North

A cold spell gripping Britain might seem like a reason to wrap up warm, but it seems that women in the North and Scotland haven't been affected by the freezing temperatures.  Researchers have found that mini skirts in the area are the shortest in the country.

Northern burds wear skirts that are on average 17cm shorter than girls in the south.

Debenhams found that the average skirt length in Edinburgh is just 30cm, in Glasgow and Preston it is 32cm and in Liverpool, women's skirts are on average 33cm long.

The study also found further south in the country the skirts become longer with girls in Bournemouth wearing skirts 47cm long.  In Southampton and Cantebury the average length of skirt was 46cm.

And it seems that the recent freezing weather that has gripped Britain has actually increased the amount of mini skirts sold in the North.  Figures revealed that sales of mini skirts at a store in Newcastle have risen a staggering 28%, while sales of short skirts in Glasgow also increased by 21% and in Sheffield 19%.
