Kettle chips are one of the best crisps you can get. Although McCoy's taste better, they use more oils and they also have MSG in them. Walkers are okay, but as long as we're talking ready salted here!

White eggs taste better than brown eggs but here in the UK we do not have any choice. White eggs are available in almost every country except here so I guess it is something to do with money as is everything in the UK.

Yes where are all the white eggs in uk gone ? Thats a very good point,,i wondered about this over a year ago,,but never really looked into it. I remember years ago when i was a kid in the early 70's we use to have white eggs,but now they are nowhere to be seen. I would say the brown is better than white foods does not apply to eggs. infact i would say white eggs were probably more healthier than the mass produced battery hen brown eggs we have nowdays. can anyone shed any info on this ?

I assumed it was slang for testicles, but I guess I've just got a filthy mind :-)

I can think of a couple that I found very touching...

One was from a gay guy who hit on me which I found very complimentory on the very shallow basis that he found me good looking enough to do that. I'm not actually gay, but the compliment still held for me :-)

The other was that a woman at work told me she always wanted to have a break at a similar time to me (and a friend called Phil) because she finds our conversations so fun.

I also feel very complimented that I have some very good friends who choose to remain friends with me :-)

Hmm. I can't think of any that don't make me sound alittle superficial!

I'll wait until I get one and post it.

My children have a varied and very healthy diet but they are also allowed 'treats' like crisps and chocolate and the occasional lollipop. By denying children these foods, they will eventually find their way to them on their own and hide it from the parents. I agree with you and think education is the most important factor...my children know that they should eat at least 5 portions of fruit and veg a day, they know why fish is good for them and the effects too much sugar and fat can have on their teeth and health. However since our children will have to make up their own minds sooner than any of us would like (i.e. school dinners, peer group influence by the time they are 8) then I feel it is best to educate them at a young age. And the odd treat is good for them too...I am a very fit and healthy 36 year old but I like a bottle of wine now and then or a packet of crisps. Everything in moderation, eh?

Well... I guess it was when a couple of my pupils came up to me and said: "Despite you teaching a subject that is boring you managed to make it interesting":)

I have to admit I just fed mine straight porridge oats (no added nothing). I kind of reckoned that he got all the vitamins etc he needed from breastmilk anyway.

I'm a bit of a heathen where vitamins for kids is concerned - I kind of think if they get a balanced diet they'll get the vitamins they need.

The Organix range was good when I was at that stage - I know they do banana porridge, not sure what vitamins etc is in there though. And they might have changed the formula.

And YES, there is a conspiracy to get little children hooked on sugar - check out the vile jarred food, breakfast cereals etc.

Yes, that is the best way of looking at it because the alternative to getting older is pretty grim:)

the practise of children swapping with each other thus your daughter might leave home with a cheese salad sandwhich on homemeal bread but chocolate spread on white might be what actually goes down...it does happen.

From 34 to brightening up corners of Northampton, being 34 is not that bad after all. Happy birthday nevertheless.

You say you like having lunch boxes so the parent has control over what their child eats and then you say you want the school to ban certain foods and take away all this control.

I can't believe some schools have just given up on trying to serve a hot meal for a child.For some children this could be their only chance of a nutritious meal once a day (speaking as a person who was often sent to school with margarine sandwiches!).Thats where the problem is...its also a valuable chance to teach children themselves what they should be getting in their diet.

With some experience of sticking out like a sore thumb, I can say that I haven't found it a perfect way to fit it.

Sticking out, having people laugh at you, yes. Fitting in.. not so much.
