Stan 386 Posted June 2, 2013 Report Share Posted June 2, 2013 There's nothing wrong with a treat once in a while. You go ahead and enjoy it and sod the anti-pleasure brigade, Pixie. Reminds me of the story (not far back) of the GP in West Bridgford who was in the queue at the local junk food shop ( fish and chips) when there was a fellow customer in the line who had a cardiac arrest ,the GP saved him ,but explained to the press in a very embarrassed way that he only `rarely' came for fish and chips!

Michael Booth 7,364 Posted June 2, 2013 Report Share Posted June 2, 2013 It's very rare that I have any junk food, as it's commonly called, but when I do I really enjoy it. If I go to somewhere like a football match, rugby game or an outdoor event I'll have a beefburger with fried onions and brown sauce or a jumbo sausage with fried onions and tomato sauce. There's nothing wrong with that and it's quite healthy. The problem is when that's all you eat and your diet is just fried stuff. You just have to be sensible. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

carni 10,094 Posted June 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2013 We always share fish and chips now,and have a slice of bread and butter for a sarnie.Great, Quote Link to post Share on other sites
StephenFord 866 Posted June 3, 2013 Report Share Posted June 3, 2013 Fish and chips was a life saver in the depression years. A nutritious food at an affordable price. Not so affordable now though True, the trouble is that fish and chips still hang on to the reputation of being a cheap meal. There are now many tasty things a lot cheaper. And if folk are in real difficulty, it is worth looking for the yellow labels in the supermarkets. OK, it's usually stuff that's near to its expiry date/time - but if you are buying "to eat now", so what? And you can always "Drinka Pinta Milka Day" ! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
carni 10,094 Posted June 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2013 I always keep my eye open for the reduced bargains,its not being tight it is sensible,i freeze them if they look OK and never had a problem yet,its them ELF and SAFETY people at it again.

Pixie 162 Posted June 3, 2013 Report Share Posted June 3, 2013 everything in moderation! my slimming world diet is great with things like junk food. gives you ideas to make your own 'fake aways', I love cooking Chinese food and its much healthier! closest to junk food I get at the moment is mug shots pasta, they're lovely and 'free' on the diet meaning I can have as many as I want (works on a syn/point basis, allowing 15 a day, what you dont use you add them to the next day, some save them for the weekend to go drinking or for a cheeky take away) this weekend me and the other half are going for a meal + to the cinema, about time we treated ourselves to some grown up time. I think we're going to the Chinese place in calverton, yumm! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BilboroughShirley 1,120 Posted December 6, 2015 Report Share Posted December 6, 2015 #72 Radfordred, thanks for the detail about Bench being there before. I am surprised that a building in such a prime location would be empty. When I worked in Farmers Exchange Walk was always busy. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted December 6, 2015 Report Share Posted December 6, 2015 You see,is it marketers?,the council and planners or even Burger King?..Nope..its the citizens of Nottm..today's people opting for this S###t!! As a visitor this year,I have never seen so many overweight people,in particular young girls..squeezed into uncomplimentary clothing, which is quite worrying that today's youngsters view fat as OK!! Maybe the mobility scooter makers are in cahoots with the disability dpt. to render our population into useless lumps of lard,so other nations can flourish!!...Ten years time that council house clock will be chiming at 4 .am for the mat kneeling brigade!!

BilboroughShirley 1,120 Posted December 6, 2015 Report Share Posted December 6, 2015 #75 Your mention of the shape and size of people reminds me of an experience I had when I worked in the Farmers shop on that site. I was working in the underwear department and there was a sale on after Christmas. In a basket was a load of corsets. A rather large lady asked if she could try one on and I said yes and told her where the fitting room was. She must have thought I was a trained corset fitter rather than a student because she called me into the fitting room and asked if this garment was the correct fit. I stayed clam, kept a straight face when confronted by the overhanging bulges and asked her "Is it comfortable madam?". She said no, so I suggested she tried a different one and I did a hasty retreat. I did manage to contain my laughter until I got out of work! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
