UK Controversial Junk Food Crackdown Targets Breakfast Staples Including Porridge
Ah, The good old caring government interfering in peoples lives yet again. Considering ones food intake is one of the most important factors in maintaining good health,one would expect after thousands of years of civilization a supposedly intelligent life form like the human race would pretty much have that side side of things fully sewn up, after all every other species and life form on the planet instinctively seems to know what it can and what it should not eat It is actually astonishing that huge international companies are allowed to produce foods so laden with sugar or salt or trans fats, or what ever else they are pumping into it, that it is barely fit for human consumption, and the only defence or protection offered by the government is some pathetic restriction on advertising. The question that should be asked is why these companies have been allowed to get away with doing this . Manufacturers are obliged to list the ingredients but are allowed to write it in what ia effectively microprint totally unreadable,why is that allowed and who does it benefit? Misleading banners like "New healthy low sugar recipe" when whatever has replaced the sugar is equally if not more unhealthy and of course not mentioned except in the microprint The government would be better employed just stopping the import and sale of this junk food at the source, it wouldn't be difficult , except for the power of the food industry lobby. Everything else they have ever tried has failed miserably -

True. But dinner plates have almost doubled in size since the 1970s. Most people are eating far more than they need. -

Political statements, controversial persons as profile pix can be offensive
I don't understand your comment Gypsy t, The maga movement is openly xenophobic, racist, isolationist, holocaust denying and more. Their orange leader is a serial sexual predator; a convicted felon who is threat to world stability. He is funded by dark far right money promoting autocratic rule worldwide. He is protected by a corrupt supreme court. They are openly planning to create concentration camps and mass deportation of millions (non white) who currently inhabit the US; legal status may not protect those who are 'selected'. The maga sign is as clear to me as a swastika and photos of those who use hate and fear as a political tool for self aggrandizement are as offensive as it would be if a likeness hitler were to be displayed. Buckle up everybody, the world is in for a rough ride.🥵🙏 -

Entry Requirements for Visa Waiver
Also depends on your passport country. Those of us with first world passports are very rarely if ever asked. If you had a third world passport, you would be asked sometimes even if well dressed. -

Living in Thailand is very cheap?
I certainly struggle to understand what you mean . If you had been abroad for 30 years , then you wouldn't have been back to the UK for 30 years . Or are you from a different Country (like France) and you were abroad whilst you were in the UK ? Being abroad for 30 years means that you hadn't been back to the UK for 30 years . Or did you mean that you had been abroad for 30 years in total and NOT 30 consecutive years ? -

Teabags
Typhoo is around 100bht for 100 bag, hardly expensive. Tata gold loose leaf is 180bht for 500g, so even cheaper. -
