Didn’t read it, but it’s bleeding obvious.

I grew up in Yorkshire.  If I had grown up darn sarrf, I would be munching on a saveloy and drinking lager tops.

''To explore this, scientists typically use studies comparing identical twins, who share almost identical DNA, to non-identical twins, who share, on average, half of their genome. This way, if identical twins are more or less likely to share a trait than non-identical twins, it suggests that that trait is more governed by genetics than environment''

''The brain you have right now would be very different if you were born and had grown up in Taiwan, even if you have the same DNA – Ching-Yu Huang''

Eton and Harrow must have lost a lot of prospective fees when Grenfell Tower went up in flames then!

Grenfell Tower is in North Kensington, so what's your point?

Or are you just being arsey for the sake of it, as usual?
