Spartacus

Oh, it's not another of Bob's spoof posts is it..... Damn I was looking forward to the Roquefort comparison tables, now I'm feeling blue 😕

I'm confused Comparing a 24 month and 36 month Parmesan is like comparing apples with pears.

But do they taste the same Bob, or does colour influence your taste buds ?

Maybe they are using a no 12 bus to get it from the sorting office in Peckham to here 🤔

And when train services are suspended or disrupted the 12 is going to get rammed 🤔

The 12 always used to get packed after a few stops pre covid Whilst passenger numbers are reduced, there is still potential this reduced service to get packed quickly, so a 14 minute gap could end up being a 28 minute plus wait for a bus with room to get on. To encourage people back into buses, they need to be accessible, not so packed that you can't get on and frequent. If not people being people will stick with cars, taxis or other easier options.

Rah x3 That's an interesting point about the cognitive load caused by always being accessible (phone, email, social media...) and the demands from streaming services (back in the day 3 channels was enough for many) which means to avoid the crisis getting worse, we should take time to switch off and reunite with our family and that the manufacturers should look at ways of making their meals quick, nutritional and healthy without loading sugar, salt, fat and invented ingredients (any idea what E124 is?) But we should all look at cooking quick meals that are healthy, cheap and tasty (as much as I don't like to use it as an example but Jamie's 15 minute meals was a good start) The second issue is Bogoffs ate normally for calorie rich, empty foods and the way to help the public here is to offer Bogoffs on healthier nutritional foods and not things like crisps or fizzy drinks. After all we don't want to see our young dying prematurely from avoidable obesity related conditions that could be avoided by changing hosw and what the nation buys and eats.

NewWave, I'm curious about what you are arguing for here. Are you saying that it's okay not to care about children getting obese because parents work or can't cook simple meals ? Are you saying modern parents are lazy in the kitchen and the chicken shops are their saviours ? Are you saying aa a nation we shouldn't try to stop the obesity crisis by getting the food industry to produce healthier food ? I just can't work out what you are arguing for? For reference, I grew up with both parents working, there were latchkey kids everywhere and yet most parents did prepare quick nutritional meals for their families. After ww2 there were high numbers of single parents (for obvious reasons) working to make ends meet, struggling with rationing yet still making nutritional meals. It's only since the invention of fast food and ready meals plus cheap empty calories that we stopped cooking and started getting obese ..

The world war 2 diet caused by rationing demonstrated that NewWave. Sadly when it was suggested that fat, sugar and salt were kept to a minimum, the food lobbies put up such a fight that only fat was demonised yet since then there has been a realisation that a combination of the three is where danger lies. It was amazing how the families then created nutritional meals with very little and without the temptation of two for one offers on cheap fatty, salty and sugary foods. I do wonder if modern families could do it now or if they would all lamemt the loss of the golden arches, high calorie empty foods or delivery services. 🤔

This is a blow in the fight to cut obesity BBC News - Junk food: Obesity strategy falling apart, Jamie Oliver says https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-61449921 Whilst no one wants a nanny state, removing temptation is a key ingredient in fighting obesity. I wonder if the government department sugared the deal with the food manufacturers ?

Maybe this is how it will happen Just like cats and dogs we will be identifiable in the future https://www.bbc.com/news/business-61008730

I remember when we had a Mexican on the lane ... love a good fajita

But like the masons, the cyclists tend to have one trouser leg rolled up to protect it from the chain oil and all have a secret hand shake (although in the cyclists case it seems to be a moving "O"aimed at car drivers) So maybe your conspiracy theory has legs after all Billy

Hare, "the lane" in my mind implies Rye Lane not Lordship Lane so there is potential confusion there by using just the Lane 🤔
