FAHKIN' 'ELL!
This was taken from the BBC news website yesterday. This couple are upset that they've had to cancel their wedding. I'd say they've got bigger (no pun intended) things to worry about.
That kid's got fatter arms than me and I'm a saggy bloke in his 50's!!!
Faaaaaahkin' 'ell. That's fucking child abuse, and I ain't kidding.

Yesterday? Fond of retro fashion are they?
It looks like a pic from the 70s, but Brits weren't that fat then.

Do you remember when Buster Bloodvessel used to be considered fat, he'd merely be portly these days.

25 years ago when I went on holiday to the US I noticed that almost everyone was fat. Coming back to the UK was a significant shift in BMI.
Today I notice the same sort of average build in the UK, god knows what size yanks are by now.

I've seen the Gremlim locusts in action.
They should be like that.

Knowing we were going to yours, we didn't eat for three days before.

Especially when you factor in the lockdown weight gain. 20lb in my case

You didn't have to gain 20 lbs. You gained it because you wanted to, it was a lifestyle choice.

Most of my kids were fat babies, especially Andrew, he was a bruiser, now he's 20, 6'2 on thereabouts and about 11 stone. The rest are all tall and skinny apart from Ryan who's short and stocky.
Ryan was the skinny kid until he was about 15, so it's no point worrying about a kid that age.

To be fair to overweight people, processed food is full of sugar and sugar is bloody addictive, they could make an effort but the food available on supermarket shelves is shite. You really need to avoid processed crap and prepare your own from healthy ingredients but it seems not everyone can
be bothered to do that.
FTFY

Looking at the state of the parents, the apple probably won't be falling far from the tree....

We’ve shut the economy down because of people like this........
Sad to say I watched The Hit List on BBC1 last night and 5 of the 6 contestants seriously needed to go on a diet. I’m sick to death of people not taking responsibility for their health. Who do they think will benefit from their obesity in the long run? Certainly not them. Rant over!

Potato crisp manufacturers.
