Definitely a certain amount of that attitude Roseymary. As to population density - just the fact that we still have large cities where we still have...

I wonder if it's the NHS that came into being just after I was born. It's free, and people place zero value on what is totally free, "they will fix...

I'm curious as to what influence that has Mamie? Not disagreeing just curious.

I didn't know that Sarah, that's very interesting.

I forgot the fags - are they still healthier than us, even with them? Or are figures adjusted to reflect smoking levels? Just did a quick...

Welcome to dealing with the EU! - Stuff like this was one of the reasons people wanted to sever ties!

Great stunt.

I think population density is the main factor after obesity.

I think the Mediterranean is an urban myth, particularly where the French are concerned. A white baguette per person, per day, copious amounts of...

The annoying thing about the Mediterranean diet is that when I am on holiday I am never, ever offered wholegrains - it's exclusively white bread and...

At least one generation, in this country, has missed out on proper cookery lessons, both at school and at home. It's time to put it back on the...

Australia's lockdown has been among the more severe, though - and population density outside the major cities is pretty low. On a facetious...

Maybe the exception that proves the rule but Australia's death rate of 35.84 per million population with obesity rates of about 67% - much the same...

'Borrowed' it for you. UK's Covid death toll fuelled by its obesity problem, say experts Britain was found to have the third highest death rate in...

Behind a paywall, but think I know where it's going. Add that to very densely populated cities (we rank pretty high on population density) and our...

As teenagers, in school holidays, we were expected to take turns getting a cooked dinner (lunch to the posh) on the table for 12.50 when my dad got...

Sorry to bang on a bit, but as a lawyer in the jurisdiction of England and Wales this was one of my most intense issues with remaining within the...

I hope it drives the message home!

I guess this is the same issue as the controversy a few weeks back - the EU's contract mentions 'best reasonable efforts' on the part of AZ which is...

Yikes Gilli! We've been subscribers to NS since 1975! Wonder if some of the science will rub off on to the DM?

That is very imaginative.

Also we no longer have proper lunch breaks, as mentioned. Men use to go home for lunch, normally cooked, or take a packed lunch (sandwiches, cake...

I read this in our local press today and was amazed at the apparent pettiness. Hopefully the planned production of this vaccine here in Melbourne...

But I don't see why WE have to suffer, they were (or still are) OUR AZ vaccinations. We don't have any arguments with either you or the EU. Now...

The EU have repeatedly said that the AZ vaccine was crap - Now they've realised they need it and are a bit mad... #OOps

Thank you Mat. I will look at that later, need breakfast first.

I believe the Italians published it.... And it looked like it was negotiated by a 12 year-old... I'll try and dig it out! Here
