Brighton "worst in country" for availability of fast food..

[Razi]

Apparently our schoolkids have an average of 46 fast food outlets in proximity to their schools, the highest average in the country....

I always thought this issue coincided with the signing of Guy Butters by our club.

 

[urbanjim]

Surely that mean's Brighton is the Best for fast food outlets!?

 

[Mendoza]

Thats cause the people from the SAAAARRFFF are rich and can AFFORD it


So the city will be crawling with FAT GAYS soon

Notice how Blackpool is second? In other words, seaside towns in "selling sweets and chips" shocker.

 

[beorhthelm]

its not even in proximity, its within the same LEA and probably takes no account of the actual food available. In brighton your just as likly to get a veggie burger or salad bar. how many fast food eateries near Falmer school for example, compared to the city centre, which is hardly in proximity. what a load of shit.

You'll find kids queuing outside kebab shops at 3.30pm in London.

Make yer proud to be British, eh?

Too right. There are no fast food places near Falmer (unless you count the chippie in Coldean and that's a schlep away). There's no fast-food place near Varndean or Stringer (unless you count the bakers on Ditchling Road and the chippie on Preston Drove). I don't think there's a fast-food place near Patcham either - the chippie by the Long Man is a bit of a hike. Is there one in the parade of Ladies Mile shops? I don't think there is.

I don't know about the other schools but this report is a load of old bollocks. It would be like saying don't build a stadium at Falmer as it's close proximity to a gay area.

That's bullshit, theres 2 around our school, both of which aren't open for when we come out of school.

Typical f***ing British press bollocks. Always running down Brighton's achievements.

Surely Brighton is the BEST for availability of junk food around schools? Let's celebrate the fact that we are top of the league.

Just like the drug-related deaths league table. Year in, year out Brighton have been top of the league yet strangely we don't advertise this.

IN YOUR FACE GLASGOW AND BLACKPOOL. Say we are top of the league, say we are top of the league.

We're fat gay druggies, say we're fat gay druggies

Actually I seem to recall we were knocked off top spot for the drug related deaths league, but you have to give others a chance

 

[SNOOBS]

I think they are counting a fast food outlet as anywhere in Brighton, not just in the local area that kids can be bothered/have time to go to. Meaningless article.

 

[cannedheat]

Now I know why Brighton is full of lard arses.

 

[desprateseagull]

so, schools are making kids only eat THEIR food...?

i hope jame oliver is still on the case..!

 

[shaolinpunk]

I blame Grubbs

 

[smudge]

At least the paedos can grab a bite during lessons.
