The gene pool of Boscombe is severely restricted (and I should know, I'm a biologist) hilighted by a recent investigation by the World Leader of Knowledge and Arrogance, Richard Dawkins. This is due to severe inbreeding of the inhabitants, meaning an increased level of usually scarce recessive diseases such as SUHS (sudden unexploded head syndrome) and PAS (Poundland-adoring syndrome), a disease so rare that it is not known to occur outside the area.

Other diseases expressed include "Floggitandleggit", "Cashyourchequesinanyofthesethousandsshopscalled'CashYourCheques'" and "Hamburgerology". Scientists remain baffled and cures remain unfound, though shooting has been suggested by man
