Is July too soon for shops to be stocking Christmas products?Very well said Lady G. Lets get back to the true meaning of Christmas, instead of stampeding to line the pockets of big business!!ViewDate:

Is obesity a lifestyle choice or a disease?I agree wholeheartedly about sweeteners. I wrote to Robinson's and Muller over a year ago, asking why they're still using Aspartame in their products. Robinson's didn't bother to reply, Muller said that Aspartame was now safe. I sent them 2 A4 pages from the Internet disproving that and asked for their comments.... nothing! You would have thought that they would have fought their corner if they were so confident. Can't turn our backs on big business, even at the cost of harming the publicViewDate:

Is obesity a lifestyle choice or a disease?I passed a young woman recently coming out of Greggs, pushing a toddler in his pushchair and as she was pushing a sausage roll into his chubby hand, she said "eat your dinner"!! What? The young adults now probably don't know how to cook, not having been taught by their elders. I feel so sorry for this generation growing up now. Perhaps more should be done to teach healthy eating/cooking instead of giving convenient labels! It's a lifestyle choice, but it can be reversedViewDate:

Should more people give up eating meat?The question is "should more people give up eating meat?" and my question is "should more people mind their own business?" I love a Sunday roast and will continue having my Sunday roast, despite vegetarian family who are 'holier than thou !!ViewDate:

Speakers Corner CommentsI had the same problem with a pair of trousers from M & S, I wanted straight leg trousers, NOT jodphurs!! I'm so sorry to hear your plight and yes, home dressmaking/tailoring is a dying art. Perhaps you could put an advertisement on your local Gumtree or similar? Best wishesViewDate:

Speakers Corner CommentsNicely put linj and the reason the clothes were good quality is the British firm who made them, S R Gents. I agree with you that you could pick anything up in your size and KNOW that it would fit, happy days!ViewDate:

Speakers Corner CommentsIn a word YES linj, also, I'd like to see S R Gent making all the clothing for M & S. I was looking at the ladies fashions in an M & S store at the weekend and the seams on most of their clothing were pulled/ruched and I wouldn't give them the light of day. We would never have seen such sewing when the clothes were made by British S R Gents, then the clothing was worth every penny. When you read the labels in M & S now the clothes are made in Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, China etc, so can we wonder that our standards have gone down?? Bring back British Industry!!ViewDate:

Speakers Corner CommentsAge Concern were asking for people to volunteer to make a 'phone call, once a week, to an elderly person who might otherwise have not spoken to anyone for quite a while. I did volunteer and this was almost twelve months ago. Apart from one email which said not to give up on them, they were still working on the scheme, I'm haven't heard anything and am still waiting. It isn't that people don't want to give up their spare time Jasmine, we're more than ready and able xViewDate:

NHS Student BursariesIt's all part of this Tory government's agenda to run the NHS down, all ready for their rich pals to jump in. I'm sickened at the way this country is going. Has anyone noticed the brand spanking new hospitals being built now? Our local hospital in Wakefield, West Yorkshire is like a five star hotel, hmmm, makes you wonder does it not? I wouldn't like the 'vultures' to have to spend any money out of their own very rich pockets when they take over! Sorry if I sound cynical, that's because this government has made me this wayViewDate:

Dieting - it just 'clicked'Hi Norma, I know that this is a long time after your last message, as I don't always remember to come onto the Forum, but I appreciate your kind words and information. I'm going to 'scrutinise' the internet and will look at the iquitsugar website, sounds very interesting. There are a lot of foods now made with Sevia, the plant sweetener which is much more pleasant than the chemical sweeteners. It does tend to be a bit pricey but I think it's worth the bit extra. If you look on the SW app, there are lots of sweet treats you can make which are syn free and won't put you any weight on, just the job if you suddenly have a sugar rush, but I agree, the more you leave chocolate/sweets/pastries alone, the more you don't want them and well done you! xViewDate:

Dieting - it just 'clicked'Hi Norma, I go to Slimming World and the simple answer to your question is no, they don't provide the means for members to succeed on their own as it's not in their interests to do so. Slimming clubs are big business... business being the word and they know that generally, if you leave, you'll be back sooner rather than later having put on more than you started with in the first place. I'm not gifted with will power, but I do like going to Slimming World every week (I haven't paid for twelve months now as I've stayed at my target weight) not only for the tips etc., but for the social side as well. Thank you for your kind words and yes, I do feel much better, but it's the Bakewell Tart, the Lemon Meringue and the Magnums that get in the way lol! Best wishesViewDate:

Who would you choose to replace David Cameron as Prime Minister?And instead of running the country, because the last time I heard he IS still the PM, he is busy playing tennis! They should stop his over-inflated salary, that really IS taking the p... Michael!ViewDate:

Who would you choose to replace David Cameron as Prime Minister?But as you would expect there is a media witch-hunt against Andrea, they want Traitor May and they're pushing her down our throats. I'd love there to be a landslide in favour of Ms LeadsonViewDate:

Who would you choose to replace David Cameron as Prime Minister?The debacle of an economy was caused by the worlds greedy bankers but the myth continues that Labour caused it. Must say, I'm looking forward to the report, bet Blair is a worried man and so he should be xViewDate:

Who would you choose to replace David Cameron as Prime Minister?Boris has sorted your problem out today Jaygar lol! Must say, I was a bit surprised but don't have any feelings one way or the other about him. I'd be very happy if Angela Leadson was voted PM xViewDate:

Who would you choose to replace David Cameron as Prime Minister?And they get away with a massive salary and then find that they're so poor they have to fiddle their expenses... duck house springs to mindViewDate:

Who would you choose to replace David Cameron as Prime Minister?You cannot be serious??? David Cameron had the presence and intelligence to gain people's confidence? He'll go down as THE worst PM in history. He has ruined our country along with Gideon Osborne and ruined the lives of thousands of people. He certainly didn't gain my confidence cutting our Police and Armed Forces to the bone (whoever gets in next might want to think about trebling both) and he didn't gain the confidence of the sick and disabled when he took them off the unemployment records, cancer sufferers included. He is just one horrible self-serving person... that's why we need someone like Angela Leadson, a woman of the people!ViewDate:

Who would you choose to replace David Cameron as Prime Minister?I couldn't agree more MorrisandDoris. I hadn't seen your comment but isn't she brilliant? She needs much more publicity to get anywhere though. I'd say anyone but Theresa May, she would be happy to open our borders, UK's answer to Frau MerkelViewDate:

Who would you choose to replace David Cameron as Prime Minister?Was your last line a joke? He's lied about every single thing since he took office. The fact that the Tory's got in with 25% of the vote tells you the dire straights our country is inViewDate:

Who would you choose to replace David Cameron as Prime Minister?I'd ask anyone to search 'Angela Leadson' in the referendum debate and see what you think... and let us all know. I'm impressed but she should have as much publicity as the rest of them, in the name of fairnessViewDate:

Who would you choose to replace David Cameron as Prime Minister?We've agreed on a lot of things Wilf, but I certainly, definitely disagree with your choice of George Osborne. Don't you think he's made enough of a mess of our country. He said he would lower our debt, throwing thousands of the less well off, disabled, etc into abject poverty with his cuts, but our debt has tripled to £1.7 billion. Please God, not George Osborne !!
