True, but you expect all fatties to be jolly, but many are a real disappointment :thumbdown:

 

I know weird isn't it!:confused1:

Slight derail, The Go Outdoors shop in Canterbury (camping, hiking, climbing etc.) has more disabled parking bays than you can shake a dirty walking pole at.

Maybe they are expecting an influx of disabled fatties to buy outdoor stuff and change their lives?

Seriously Ty, do you find you notice less obesity in France?

They love their grub, but seem to eat far less crap.

Been to the States?

 

I can tuck away a good helping but over there I'd share a main with the wife, obscene portion size!

An example would be lorry drivers.

In the U.K, they are often obese.

Here in France, that is far rarer and you find more female drivers too.

At midday, workers of all trades stop and go eat in a routier restaurant.

(except for British tree surgeons who stubbornly cling onto their sandwiches/flask/transit cab tradition)

WE however, sit down for an hour in the warm for a balanced 4 course meal.

Plus, it is tax deductable!

We really enjoyed "Le Routier" eating when travelling in France, sit down, not infrequently at a trestle table, and simply eat (and drink!) what is put in front of one, more often a sensible cassorale or stew type dish.

Country food like wot I were reared on!

PS

Mildly amused to watch the French truckers tucking into icecream lollies, which were the "dessert" in one (admittedly, low priced) establishment, after a deeply satisyfing plain meaty main course, with unlimited wine.
