So you’re saying that there is a problem with obesity in kids then, and that the NHS is correct in monitoring them and informing their parents in the hope that they might start to look at the ingredients in the food they’re giving them, eg breakfast cereal?
You’ve changed my mind. I guess that the paediatrician’s that have devised the healthy BMI range for kids that has been used in the NHS’s national child measurement scheme just don’t know what they’re talking about, and it’s all just puppy fat that they’ll grow out of. Obesity crisis? What...

It’s a reflection of how good things are at BHA when NSC’s neediest specials are reduced to moaning about the packaging on their season ticket renewal notices.
I wish the worst aggravation in my life was that I hadn’t been able to buy a ticket for the best seats in one of the best stadiums in English football until 8 days before a game against a 4th division team.
