No headaches with white!White chocolate is better than milk chocolate.
The BMI is about 100 years older than the NHS.But the NHS can't just go on opinion as people will say the option is bias. So they made up this stupid BMI thing that for a lot of people doesn't work.
I was at a cafe the other day accompanying someone with a rollator /zimmer. There where 3 dogs. We couldn't get past a big one lying in front of the only table left. The owner did nothing to move his dog and my friend almost rolled his wheels over the dogs tail accidentally. There was barking and whimpering when other dogs arrived. That was the first time ever I've seen a dog in a cafe but not just one in this one but many and as you say I think it's a new thing and I'm really not a fan, especially not at the expense of those with mobility issues and dogs lying in the way potentially causing accidents/taking up space, never mind the hygiene aspect.Sorry I know this will be controversial but hear me out
Mine is dogs. See, I like dogs but I see a growing trend of dogs being everywhere. Dogs in pubs, dogs in cafes, dogs at work. No no no no no.

Couldn’t agree more. Especially when people try to make out it’s cheaper to eat more unhealthily. No it’s not. I used to have an awful diet largely consisting of ready meals after work but since I decided to take better care of myself and plan meals for the week and batch cook I’ve saved a fortune.*Takes deep breath
Plus this isn’t ALL families*
Anyway a lot of the families that need help to feed their kids actually need help with budgeting and batch cooking. Planning meals and how to get the most out of food.
for my parents, they had an OK income but had no clue how to cool or budget or handle money. They made reckless decisions with money and wasted food, and got into debt in the process.I get very frustrated when I see people saying that buying junk food is cheaper than fresh. That is nonsense. Fresh vegetables are very cheap and you can pick up something like chicken thighs for a very reasonable price. It's far cheaper than buying boxes of pizza or oven chips.
Also I’ve found that they are often made in Asia which makes me think are sweatshops making these things? You’d think that a designer brand would make it in Italy, France, U.K. etc since the prices are so inflated. Plus the materials used are often cheap - one brand was using brass for ‘gold’ earrings which cost over £2,000, the cashmere jumpers have a mix of cashmere and polyester, etc.Unpopular opinion...
Successful people don't buy brands like YSL, Gucci, Vuitton etc.
Most of the time it's people buying them labels to boost their sad little ego, so they spend half their wages simply to look great on Instagram.
I had to look into some high end designer items for work once. A lot of the fashion houses make their stuff in China as you say, from regular old polyester. The quality wasn’t stand out but they were some of the biggest fashion houses. No wonder China is able to mass produce fakes as good as the originals!Also I’ve found that they are often made in Asia which makes me think are sweatshops making these things?

I don’t mind paying a bit extra for something every so often but it has to be worth it.
I was once on a train with a dog laying in the aisle, which is great when it's difficult to see.I was at a cafe the other day accompanying someone with a rollator /zimmer. There where 3 dogs.

i take my dog everywhere because 1. I love her company 2. It makes her life better. She loves going on little adventures. 3. It wouldn’t be good for her to be left alone all day 4. She usually brings a smile to the faces of most people. I’ve travelled throughout the U.K. with her, and all over london. Most people love to come up and say hi, a lot of people will ask to stroke or pet her (which she loves) and ask me questions about her.I was once on a train with a dog laying in the aisle, which is great when it's difficult to see.
I do love dogs, but why do people need to take them everywhere? Especially when they get in the way.
my Dad lives in the west country..the amount of dogs everywhere when we go to visit is unreal (especially with last 2 years of stay cations).I was at a cafe the other day accompanying someone with a rollator /zimmer.

Fat puddingsThis thread never fails to make me laugh like a loon every morning. I always save it for when I have fully woken up had coffee etc and always have pages and pages to get through.
Yes, dogs and cats who are normal size are being taken to the vets as strays because they are not fat puddings like your pets and therefore they are either neglected or stray. Leave other people animals alone, stop feeding them and stop taking them to the vets. You will 100% know when you see a real case of neglect.
Homemade rice pudding and tin rice pudding are not the same. they should have different names.
In my experience upper middle class wear their wealth too. Maybe not in the way new money does but its just as obvious.I had to look into some high end designer items for work once.

I had an ex who was “old money”. He said that upper middle class girls never have designer branded stuff like handbags. It was very much something he associated with people who want to give the impression of being wealthy, new money etc. Because it’s essentially a walking advertisement of wealth, since everyone knows they cost a lot. To wealthy people, it’s a waste of money. They know they have it so don’t need to convince others they do.
