So what's happened to Guinness is good for you?.......No Guinness....no stuffing..........and a trip to hospital after trying to cut a mince pie into twenty.......... ;-)

Dinner will be stone cold by the time all the skimpy portions are weighed out.

And what's to be done with the other 19 pieces of mince pie?

They spent £40 million squid to tell us that! How many homeless people would that feed over the festive season?

Make them into a game.....a jigsaw?......hunt the pie bits?....x

The more general message may be to stop shovelling food in like it's your last meal or it very well could be.

Now top my glass up please. :-)
