So the 'nanny council' now takes over from the 'nanny state'.
It comes only after one council gave cafes salt cellars with five holes instead of 17.
/// Last month Oldham council said it was considering introducing a £1,000 'fat tax' to cut obesity.New takeaways would pay the controversial levy as part of their planning permission. ///
The best quote though was from Stockport's Conservative group leader, Les Jones, who said "British people don't like being ordered around".
He could fool me.

Paul - you are showing your age there!
Those of us who are more 'ahem!' mature on the site remember that not only could you slosh salt and vinegar on your chips, but they tasted far better because they were wrapped in an outer covering of newspaper - another sad decline in civilisation was when that avenue of pleasure was closed off (copyright B. Fawlty).

Sometimes things can be counterproductive. If I don't think I'm getting enough salt out per shake, the cellar is opened, I pour some into the palm of my hand, and sprinkle it from there. But it being a pain to get right that way, I'm sure I end up with more salt that I otherwise would.
Fat tax to cut obesity, my foot. It's just another excuse to find someone who can't refuse, and mug them. I think there should be an interference levy on governments and councils and suchlike.

The people in front of me last night in the chippy were shaking the salt like mad and said to the boss your shaker holes are blocked.
When informed that the health department had been in shop and given them the new shakers with less holes they shook their heads and started shaking for another 5 minutes to get there fix of salt.
What you got in 4 shakes now takes 16 shakes so if you are off out to the chippy shake a leg and get in early .
