All ordered and delivered without them leaving the house. Many kids nowadays don’t even walk to school. The problem is only going to get worse. Totally agree. At the end of my street is a shop and a school. The aforementioned neighbour used to give her daughter a lift every morning. My son, walking, got there quicker as he didn't need to mess about getting into the car, finding a parking space and so on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ICTChris Posted April 7, 2022 Share Posted April 7, 2022 1980 cup final riot - absolutely no-one fat in the whole thing. Even the police officers have that straight up and down look. Now look at this football hooligan fight from 30 odd years later. Half the people involved have huge guts. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The best part of attending school growing up was walking with your mates there and back. Usually loads of banter about last nights comedy tv followed by a kick about with a fitba in the school grounds. There were very few kids growing up in my era who you would class as overweight. Now many at such a young age are definitely obese. It is a sad reflection on our society. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the fatties in the first video were still trying to climb over the metre high fence surrounding the pitch IMO. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Careful you might start to upset some snowflakes. I have often thought that you should be weighed at airports and your seat ticket should be charged according to your body weight. I should write to EasyJet. I think they are missing a trick. It would not surprise me if the NHS is ultimately privatised. -6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was unsuccessful but did have a point. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Steele Posted April 7, 2022 Share Posted April 7, 2022 2 hours ago, oaksoft said: we used to save our pennies for a Fish Supper treat once or twice a year and we rarely had chocolate or sweets except for Christmas, Easter and birthdays. My family wasn't alone in this. By the time I had kids we were doing takeaways once per week and sometimes two or three times. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eez-eh Posted April 7, 2022 Share Posted April 7, 2022 Better understanding of how “calorific” different meals/foodstuffs are can only be a good thing. The average person’s awareness of it all is generally awful. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of America is poorly designed for walking and it is even regarded with suspicion. Where even walking is not something people do - you get some seriously large people. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're in a completely different place these days to the early 80s. This I think is spot on, someone posted on our local Facebook group that a iced coffee had been delivered to the wrong address. The bill was in the photo and showed they had paid nearly £10 for a coffee which I just found staggering.
