He is one of the few men that like women. So he is gay, so what? I would rather have him as a friend than a lot of men I know.

No, beg to differ there Velvetee.

I went to state infant, junior & secondary schools & can honestly say I don't remember seeing any fat/obese girls or boys at the first two, or indeed at the all girls school from age 11 to 15.

We had a completely different way of life compared to the kids of today. We didn't have a tv until I was 9, no computers, etc., etc. We had PE three times a week & played netball. Not forgetting roundes on the school green & oce at home with friends. We walked everywhere, including back & forth to school - not dropped off & picked by car at the school gates!

(Scuse any mistakes I must go soon)!

[weeal]

agree with smudge - and there was no MacDonalds !!!

[smudge]

* rounders * once

[smudge]

*picked up!

I'm really tired now!

[weeal]

we had loads of exercise out playing right through our teens, now its all PC's and mobile phones, fast food etc

[Rosetta]

Smudge is right, kids were normally more active in day to day activities, and at school. Plus there was far less reliance on instant foods

[smudge]

What happy, healthy days weeal. We were satisfied with what little we had too. (Altho' you're probably much, much younger than me)!

[weeal]

Im prob not ye know smudge lol
1964 baby I was

[Velvetee]

I've heard alot of secondary schools no longer have P.E classes, is this true?

[smudge]

Hi Rosetta too! ;o}

[smudge]

Ah weeal - you're a mere baby! We got married in 1964 & our first daughter was born in 1965! Our second daughter in 1968, bless them!

[weeal]

oops sorry smudge haha, you seem as young as me then in print

[Rosetta]

I understand they don't have cooking lessons either. How will they learn nutrition if they (kids) dont have practical lessons

[smudge]

Velvetee - our eldest granddaughter is 19 now (how time flies). She left chool two years ago & they still had PE then, but I bet most ducked out of doing it!

[smudge]

Ooo, thank you & don't be sorry weeal. Everyone thinks I'm our granddaugter's Mum when we're out - it's quite fun & great being a 'young' Mum & Nanny! ;o}
