When I worked as a nurse many of the other nurses were very obese. They just ate stupid amounts ..I dunno if greed or as a reaction to stress on the ward. Christmas used to be just awful with a room set aside for food..I always lost weight as i couldn't stand to see the excess. I spent some time in an NHS hospital in 2012, and I made a similar observation; it also applied to many (most) of the admin staff, porters and cleaners. I was amazed that the NHS tolerates obesity in their staff - what a dreadful example to the patients, many of whom should be counselled about their weight. Don't they provide appropriate awareness training for their employees? Interestingly none of the doctors I came across, from the most junior to the most senior, were at all overweight. I was also hospitalised for a month in 1980 and don't recall any of the staff being other than of a reasonable weight and appearance. Has the NHS given up on instilling a sense of pride, personal responsibility and image awareness in their employees?

I'm left wondering whether that's Alex Salmon or Cyril Smith. I wonder what percentage of folk with multiple chins are sexual abusers? It's a left hand drive bus. I thought it was in Finland. Yes it be.

Sadly (or not - as you see fit), our world has changed so much in a fairly short period.
What was once a vocation and a career of choice seems to have become a question - "can I make more as a nurse or a beautician/hairdresser"?
The times they are a changing ….. x

The times they are a changing ….. x if the staff were working in retail they wouldn't get away with it - and that is reputed to be one of the lowest paid environments.

"can I make more as a nurse or a beautician/hairdresser"? Ooohh..... you are naughty! "The couple's three cars, worth more than £150,000 including a white Chevrolet Corvette, a Range rover Discovery and a Range Rover Sport, were on Saturday still on the driveway."

Now how about this, pic and article from the dully fail. So you are an avid Daily Mail reader! I knew it! Yes, 'tis be true, it's not the healthiest of careers - I noticed last week I was making the bathroom scales groan, so time to cancel BISCUITS and ALCOHOL* ('empty calories') until our Christmas trip, and I have managed to do this this last week. *does not include one can of beer per week for sauna. *to pour on the hot stones.

I think a lot of people fail to understand that being hungry as in not eating "enough" food is a basic requirement for a healthy life.
Not talking about anorexia or any of those nasty things but being aware of intake and deliberately allowing yourself to be hungry on a regular basis. It may be a bit uncomfortable sometimes and instinct says "just eat" but instinct is based on the probability of not surviving for long so you take what you can. Modern society, in this country at least, tends to take the starvation question out of the equation. Ironically it is the failure to understand you will not starve which causes the problems.
Logically it would be the other way around.

So that would be an opinion poll commissioned and paid for by a publication which offers a free "Bollocks to Brexit" travel mug to new subscribers? An impartial type of opinion poll then? No agenda or anything? Wanker.

Logically it would be the other way around. my father was brought up by an elderly straight-laced father who applied Victorian standards. He was told that you should always leave the dining table still hungry. (He was also told that he couldn't speak at table unless he was asked a question by an adult - that resulted in him leaving home at the age if 21 after he declared at the table that he had come of age and he would speak whenever he wished - his father told him to leave the table in disgrace - he left the table, packed his bags and left home the same day). of course when I was a lad and we were still on post-war rationing we didn't have much choice about being hungry. I don't recall a single schoolmate who was overweight, let alone obese.

Not everyone is led by the nose by a venal power hungry liar and his greasy armed puppet master.

On the starvation diet, just heard that being hungry a couple of days a week prevents dementia.

You so often spout nonsense, Jim, and this is why people see you as a silly joker. You claim I slavishly follow Nigel Farage's every word - yet I might bump into him once every two weeks in some news article. I have never been a UKIP supporter. Last I heard was that Farage was not interested in getting high up in politics, which might be a pity as he is perhaps the only politician I have listened to with interest. He has probably realised it's a waste of time fighting against the huge corruption that exists in the UK Parliament and Civil Service. Funny thing is, is that you are being led by exactly that beast - a power hungry EU. Next Friday approaches. Has Boris chosen his ditch yet?
