    Not that i know but didn't they review it (possibly after his death) to say actually you should trim excess fats of meats etc and concentrate n the lean white meats after all?

    Sounds sensible, what about fruit and veg were they not allowed those?

    Intuitively, it doesn't appear to be a very healthy option.

    Baby survived with an unpleasant bruise to the head thanks to the train driver's excellence. Both mother and driver must have had a very nasty moment.

    Did you think - I could have been that driver :eek:

    Still makes me feel bad even though I know the baby survived, I think it is a form of empathy with the mother at that deadful moment.

    My next door neighbour, Uncle Kevin, is a retired tain driver and I applied, got the job and then it turned out there was no job and they were sorry that they'd asked for applications (!).

    According to Uncle K, people going under the train is a horrible but unavoidable hazard. I guess a 250 tonne train is only going to stop in its own time.
