      The good (or bad) news is that in 20 years I will be the only slim, non-smoker, moderate drinker left and will therefore be a celebrity.
      Don't forget the celibacy... avoids all those sexually transmitted diseases.

          All this crap about the cost to NHS but as they die younger they draw pensions for fewer years so is there a real net cost? if not, then piss off government. Whatever happened to personal freedom?

          If we really want to stop wasting money we should cut some of the overpaid public sector parasites that dream up these daft policies.

            Food is fuel, therefore it makes sense to add 80% fuel duty to food.

            Only fair.

                So by the same argument drinking and driving is no one's fault?

                  You already are a celebrity sg, just not for the reasons you imagine.

                      Why not cut off all the council houses from the national grid and put a treadmill in each home? If they want turkey twizzlers and X-factor on Saturday night they can bloody well work for it.
