Booze Matters - Teach Your Kids To Drink

A study carried out by an American university has concluded that kids who have tried booze by the age of 11 were five times more likely to have had a full drink within a couple of years, and four times more likely to have binged or been drunk than peers who had not tasted alcohol at an early age.

Thus the researchers have warned about the dangers of American parents adopting the "European model" of introducing kids to alcohol.

All very well and prissy. However, there are two points:

1 European kids have been drinking booze with their parents since time began, yet Europe is not awash with binge drinkers.

2 The American definition of "binge" is in fact half a lager shandy.

Suffice to say, the conclusions of this "research" should be ignored!

Kids Learn By Example


It is a sad reflection of society, that many are quick to blame children and young people for poor behaviour rather than look to the reason/cause. However, whilst some kids are clearly gits no matter how well brought up they are, some doubtless pick up lousy behaviour from dick headed adults and parents.

My commiserations to the kids, parents and staff of St Andrew's and St Mark's Church of England Junior School ins Surbiton who were trying to enjoy a disco for kids aged 7-11 the other evening.

Sadly the behaviour of one idiotic father ruined it for everyone.

According to the Telegraph the disco had to be cancelled, and the kids escorted from the school, when midway through a father tried to break up a tussle between two children.

It seems he pulled the kids apart, started shouting and swearing then dialled 999 to tell the police one of the kids had assaulted another.

Police duly arrived, and had a word in the "shell like" of the father.

Scarcely any wonder some kids behave like barbarians, given the behaviour of some adults!

On Your Feet!


On Your Feet Britain says that office work is bad for you, sitting for long periods at work is linked to a host of health problems, which are not undone by working out in the gym.

It goes on to say that things were a lot better 100 years ago.

Thus I suggest that we all go down the mines or into the cotton mills, and return to a way of life and work that was much "healthier"!

Nanny Hates Preston


Congratulations to Preston for being ranked by Nanny as the "unhealthiest high street in the UK"!

This accolade was presented by The Royal Society for Public Health, which assessed 70 areas in the UK according to the types of businesses found there.

On Nanny's list of evil businesses are bookmakers, loan shops, tanning salons and fast-food outlets. These are viewed as having a "negative impact" on public health.

Would Nanny prefer a row of boarded up shops then?

On Nanny's good list of businesses were leisure centres and health services; no food shops then?

It seems that we are meant to exercise, but not eat!

Shrewsbury was named as having the "healthiest" High Street.

Based on the award, Nanny has called for a limit of 5% of each "unhealthy" type of business on a High Street to avoid saturation.

Why 5%?

Is there a scientific basis for this limit?

No, I thought not!

Therefore if only 5% of shops can be "evil", if no other shop wishes to set up business there we will end up with rows and rows of boarded up shop fronts which employ no one.

Here are Nanny's rankings as per the BBC:

Nanny Hates Fat People

Despite calls for fattism to be outlawed, Nanny continues to press ahead with her campaign against fat people.

Nanny's Health Select Committee says health workers should use every opportunity to deal with the problem.

The BBC quoted the committee:
"The committee regards it as inexplicable and unacceptable that the NHS is now spending more on bariatric surgery for obesity than on a national roll-out of intensive lifestyle intervention programmes that were first shown to cut obesity and prevent diabetes over a decade ago.

We call on the next government to make a clear commitment, together with appropriate long-term funding, to significantly increase the levels of cycling and walking

It is vital that the importance of physical activity for all the population - regardless of their weight, age, gender, health, or other factors - is clearly articulated and understood."
Compulsory exercise for all!

Huzzah!

Ermm.....how does spending more taxpayers' money encourage people to walk more?

Nanny Bans Fattism - How Ironic!


Without any sense of irony, an obesity expert (Dr Sarah Jackson) has called for "fattism" (ie making fun of fat people) to be treated the same way as sexism and racism.

In a study of more than 5,000 British adults, she found that those who were made to feel ashamed of their size suffered more symptoms of depression. They also had a lower quality of life than those who didn’t feel victimised.

She is quoted by the Mail:
"However, our results indicate that discriminatory experiences contribute to poorer psychological well being in individuals with obesity, but there are currently no laws prohibiting weight discrimination. 

This might send the message to people that weight discrimination is socially acceptable."
Whilst this may be all very well and good, given how cruel people can be, does she not see the irony here?

Nanny, the medical profession and the media spend every hour of every day harassing, ridiculing and pressurising fat people about their weight (eg Nanny's obsession with obesity, and TV's numerous reality shows publicly putting the obese on extreme diets).

It is the state that has increased the level of ridicule and obsession with people's girth; therefore it is the state that must first of all address the issue of discrimination by stopping its harassment!

Bollocks Research - Smiling is Sexist


In a stunning piece of bollocks "research" that on the scale of 1 to 10 of bollocks, hits 20, some bods in the USA have concluded that manners are every bit as sexist as rudeness.

The "research" was carried out on a staggering 27 pairs of undergraduates (yes 54 people!), that's most certainly a statistically reliable number of people on which to conduct "research".

The "research" concluded that men who open doors for women are as guilty of sexism as those who are rude to them. Psychologists found that a friendly or chivalrous attitude can mask chauvinistic and patronising views, because the men see females as weak creatures in need of their protection.

Psychologist Jin Goh of Northeastern University, Boston, is quoted by the Telegraph:
"While many people are sensitive to sexist verbal offences, they may not readily associate sexism with warmth and friendliness. 
Unless sexism is understood as having both hostile and benevolent properties, the insidious nature of benevolent sexism will continue to be one of the driving forces behind gender inequality in our society."
For good measure, seemingly smiling is also sexist!
"those who displayed a benevolent sexism were considered more approachable, warmer, friendlier and more likely to smile."
This would be laughable, if it were not for the fact that good money has been wasted on this shite!

The Dangers of The Sun


As we all enjoy the eclipse (somewhat masked by the cloud and smog), spare a thought for the kids of Whitchurch Primary School in Cardiff who have been banned from watching the solar eclipse.

For why?

Health and safety!

Instead the school will be showing the eclipse on a live feed inside the school premises, but will not allow children to go outside even if they have bought glasses with sun filters.
It is believed an email has been issued by Cardiff Council to schools in the county advising them to read a leaflet from the Royal Astronomical Society on how to observe an eclipse safely.

'Just looking at it can blind you'

What a load of old bollocks!

This is Britain for FFS, we are occluded in smog and cloud there is no danger of going blind at all!

Nanny's Gagging For It


During all the fuss and razzmatazz of yesterday's Budget, Nanny snuck out a civil service gagging order.

As per the Guardian:
"On 16 March, 51 days before the general election and two weeks before parliament enters purdah, the Cabinet Office changed the civil service code to introduce a new requirement on all 447,000 civil servants to secure ministerial authorisation for contacts with the media. 

Failure to do this risks disciplinary action, the new code says."
It is ironic that this was done during the Budget, given that large parts of that were leaked well in advance doubtless on the nod of Osborne!

Factoid: in my day, breach of Budget purdah was a flogging offence!

The Dangers of The Sun - Bollocks Reporting


According to the Telegraph too long in the sun could be deadly, as scientists reveal that too much vitamin D can lead to strokes or a heart attack.

What brings the Telegraph to this conclusion?

A study published in the Journal of Endocrinology and Metabolism which warned for the first time of the effect on heart health of excess vitamin D. It found having too much vitamin D in our blood can be bad for our health has never been proven before - and it may have great influence on future intake of nutritional supplements. 

Professor of clinical medicine Peter Schwarz said:
"We have studied the level of vitamin D in 247,574 Danes, and so far, it constitutes the world's largest basis for this type of study.

We have also analysed their mortality rate over a seven-year period after taking the initial blood sample, and in that time 16,645 patients had died.

Furthermore, we have looked at the connection between their deaths and their levels of vitamin D. If your vitamin D level is below 50 or over 100 nanomol per litre, there is an greater connection to deaths.

We have looked at what caused the death of patients, and when numbers are above 100, it appears that there is an increased risk of dying from a stroke or a coronary. 

In other words, levels of vitamin D should not be too low, but neither should they be too high. Levels should be somewhere in between 50 and 100 nanomol per litre, and our study indicates that 70 is the most preferable level. 

These are very important results, because there is such great focus on eating vitamin D. We should use this information to ask ourselves whether or not we should continue to eat vitamins and nutritional supplements as if they were sweets. 

You shouldn't simply up the dose to feel better. We should only consume such vitamins in close coordination with our GP." 
In other words, don't overdose on vitamin D supplements (eminently sensible advice!).

None of the above warns about the dangers of vitamin D generated by sunbathing. In other words the Telegraph didn't read what the Professor said, and made its own bollocks conclusion to generate an attention grabbing headline!

Another Bollocks Survey About The Dangers of Salt


Action on Salt have, in the absence of nothing better to do, commissioned a survey on salt in kids' food in restaurants.

It concluded that kids' meals at restaurants, popular with middle class families (whatever that means, do "working class" kids not matter then?), can contain five times as much salt as chicken nuggets and chips at McDonald's.

Restaurants such as Loch Fyne and Bella Italia apparently advertised dishes for children that would have more than the recommended daily salt intake for a six-year-old.
Two dishes at Wagamama contained only fractionally less than the 3g daily salt limit for young children. Precisely how often do British parents take their kids out to eat sushi?

Kudos to Loch Fyne for its bangers and mash with gravy which, according to the Telegraph, contained 4.04g!. .Four chicken nuggets and fries in a McDonald's Happy Meal contained 0.78g of salt, a fifth of the amount.

Hoorah!

Feed your kids nuggets!

Oh, hang on a minute, doesn't Nanny rather disapprove of that as well?

How many times, realistically, per week do parents take their kids to Loch Fyne??

So farking what if one dish is salty? So long as the kids have a balanced diet, drink water and exercise to build up a sweat the salt will be excreted.

I sued to eat chunks of salt from a salt block that I was tasked with grating when I was a nipper, it did me no harm whatsoever.

Regarding these self appointed guardians of our food, booze and fag intakes etc (eg AoS); what the fark business is it of these people to stick their noses into what we do?

It is bad enough that Nanny does it, without self appointed single issue fanatics joining in!

Get a life, and leave others to live theirs as they wish!

The Welsh Assembly Doesn't Do Irony

On Friday I wrote about the Welsh Assembly banning the filming of James Bond in the Senned.

It seems that the reason for the hissy fit was that the Senned was to be used in the film as the meeting room for Spectre (Bond's arch enemies).

Dear oh dear, the Assembly really doesn't do irony does it?

Prats of The Week - The Welsh Assembly

Kudos to the Welsh Assembly for winning this week's Prats of The Week Award.

The Assembly is so full of its own self importance that it has declined a request to allow scenes to be filmed for the new James Bond movie "Spectre" at the Senedd in Cardiff Bay.

A statement from the WA is quoted by the South Wales Argus:
"The Senedd's Siambr is the home of Welsh democracy and seat of government for Wales. 

Some media activity is allowed in the Siambr when it relates to the work of the assembly or reflects the Siambr's status as the focal point of Welsh civic life. 

It is not a drama studio. 

Decisions on requests from the creative industries to use the assembly's estate are made on a case by case basis, and we are proud to have collaborated with many television and film companies on drama productions such as Sherlock and Dr Who . 

The request by James Bond to use the Siambr was turned down and they were offered alternative locations on the estate which they subsequently declined."
Self important pillocks!

The Queen was happy to be filmed, and have Buck House used as a set for the opening of the Olympics, for a James Bond sketch. Evidently the WA thinks itself above the Queen, even though it is playing the part of a drama queen over this request.

The Welsh Assembly, well deserving Prats of The Week!

Plain Fag Packs From May 2016


113 MPs voted against the measure for plain fag packs, with 367 MPs in favour - one of the biggest ever Commons rebellions since the Coalition was formed.

Number 10 confirmed that David Cameron, the Prime Minister, voted in favour of the ban. His official spokesman said:
"He was pleased it has gone through."
Ironic, given that in the last two world wars the governments of the day did everything possible to ensure troops got their fag rations (in order to ensure they were less scared shitless of being killed).

Don't worry folks, when our boys are sent to fight Russians in the Ukraine/Latvia/Lithuania/Estonia etc, or ISIS in the Middle East, fags will be back in favour!

Plain Fag Packs Coming Soon


Plain fag packs are on their way.

Nanny's MPs are expected to approve the introduction of standardised packaging for cigarettes in the UK today. This will mean that from 2016 every packet will look the same except for the make and brand name, with graphic photos accompanying health warnings.

It seems that darker colours (olive green) are favoured ahead of white, as this is perceived to signify more harm.

The solution to this nonsense is simple, buy a fancy fag packet cover to personalise your fag packet!

Booze Matters - Elderly Men Enjoy Drinking

Oh dear, Nanny is obsessing about how much we are drinking again.

This time her attention is focused on British men over 65 who, shock horror probe, drink every or "almost" everyday of the week!

So farking what?

"Research", led by academics at University College London, shows that men effectively grow out of binge drinking early in their adult lives; only to increase the frequency of their alcohol consumption as they get older.
The study concludes that daily/frequent drinking is the most common pattern of alcohol consumption among elderly men overall.

Dr Annie Britton, a senior lecturer in epidemiology and lead author, is quoted by the Telegraph:
We have shown that people change the way they consume alcohol as they age, and as such, studies reliant on a single measure of alcohol intake are likely to be biased. 

It is essential that the dynamic nature of exposure to alcohol over the life span is incorporated into the estimates of harm.

I wasn't shocked to see that alcohol volume changes over the life course, but the high proportion of older men drinking daily is a bit alarming. 

It raises concerns that they are becoming dependent on alcohol and there are risks in this age group mixing alcohol with medications.”
It doesn't farking matter, no one is immortal we are all going to die. Let the elderly enjoy what remains of their lives, instead of hectoring them!

E's Good!


As per Reason.com a new study of leading American and British brands, reported in Regulatory Toxicology and Pharmacology, notes that the levels of potentially problematic substances in e-cigarette aerosol are about the same as those detected in ambient air.

In other words, Nanny should stop claiming that e fags are dangerous!

Sadly I suspect that Nanny will ignore this research and continue to try to regulate e fags.

Coffee Is Good For You - Maybe


I love farking science!

One day we are told that coffee is bad for your heart, and that the caffeine contained within it is addictive. Another day we are told that coffee is good for you.

Research conducted in Korea, and published in the journal Heart, now suggests that drinking a few cups of coffee a day may help people avoid clogged arteries.

However, some studies have linked consumption to heart risk factors such as raised cholesterol or blood pressure.

Guess what?

There is no conclusive evidence either way!

As ever with research, trying to come to a "one size fits all" conclusion simply doesn't work. Indeed British Nanny doesn't like having her advice about the dangers of coffee undermined, especially by non Brits.

Victoria Taylor of the British Heart Foundation is quoted by the BBC:
"While this study does highlight a potential link between coffee consumption and lower risk of developing clogged arteries, more research is needed to confirm these findings and understand what the reason is for the association. 

We need to take care when generalising these results because it is based on the South Korean population, who have different diet and lifestyle habits to people in the UK."
Thus, as with all research and conclusions drawn by Nanny's vested interests, it is better to ignore the research and simply indulge in your pleasures with common sense, moderation and balance (allowing for the occasional binge).

After all, we are all going to die one day no matter how abstemious we are!

Prats of The Week - Tesco

My thanks to a loyal reader for nominating Tesco as Prats of The Week.

For why?

Just ask Tony Morris, who went to his local store in Carlton to but some nuts and bananas.

When he attempted to pay for them at the self service checkout he was asked to verify his age. The stupidity was further compounded, when a member of staff and a security guard came across and told him that it was in case he was going to ferment alcohol.

A Tesco spokeswoman is quoted by the Mirror denying that this is Tesco policy:
We don’t age restrict the sale of nuts - our store team have rechecked all the nuts in the store to ensure this is the case.

Giving customers great service is our number one priority and we’re sorry if the incident caused our customer any inconvenience.
However, her words ring hollow as this is not the first time that Tesco has asked for age verification wrt fruit. Kate Lancaster, at a Tesco Metro Plymouth, was asked to prove she was over 18 when buying a snack pack of water melon and grapes.

Why?
"Fruit will be age verified in case natural fermentation takes place”.
Tesco, well deserving Prats of The Week!
