Privatisation of small, almost unnoticeable parts of the NHS can improve health outcomes.

The point is that obesity is on the increase. People who are too lazy to walk are on the increase. But why go the gym when you can do real exercise, like walking up a mountain, rowing on a lake, doing a forest walk, or countless other things in the fresh air? Not the smelly, sweaty commercial gym, where you have to pay to run on a treadmill, instead of running outdoors for nothing. It's crazy.

Ah no, I haven't explained it properly. It'll be down to the gym to grass up, I mean, inform the GP practice/DWP that the patient has/has not been using the gym sufficiently. It's a way of monitoring the patient.

Now that is sinister.

Spot on Lat! I'm pretty pleased with it too.

Getting rid of this sham government would improve mental health outcomes
it's very easy to point to fat people on the street
but wellbeing is never considered by our politicians who only seem to be able to think in one sad way ........

Oh you must remember the PM's interest in our happiness, surely

Oh, sorry - I didn't realise that it was the result of your plastic surgery.

Flossie, check your new year's resolution list - no.7 says "Be nice to Beef Oven"

That is a hell of a lot higher than the same resolution on my list. !

But will the jobless have their benefits removed if they refuse to be Botoxed?

I get Botoxed in my forearm on the NHS as treatment for my essential hand tremor

And it's a bootiful arm now

Be thankful it is only your forearm.

You make a fair point, EA. However, it is a case of different strokes for different folks. I used to be a qualified aerobics teacher. For many people, the aerobic type class provided them with the exercise and buzz that they were after. For others, it's the solitary treadmill listening to maybe a podcast, whatever, and for others a brisk walk in the open air.

Yes. People have a choice. But the way it's marketed, people have impression that it's the local gym or nothing, and because gym membership is often expensive, it means some people will never get fit. It's complete nonsense, but the perception is there. Fitness should be a way of life for everyone, as far as is possible.

I think that in general, the former was the fitter of the two. With Morty sitting next to him there wasn't mushroom for JC.
