I saw a few earlier when going to the station, just a couple but my T shirt was absolutely covered by greenfly.

This phenomenon seems to be disproportionally involving celebrities kids, not hard to work out why.

 

Going to a large news outlet is probably not the best way of ‘trying to remain private’ though.

Are you suggesting that newspapers tend to print more stories about people who are famous? Or something else?

I'm not sure many of the more obscure cases would make the front page, to be honest.

guys all the above is great if only that it has raised awareness, however this just provides a snapshot of where you are at that moment in time, what is required is long term data that can be reviewed and used to make decisions to halt the decline, many opportunities online to get involved.
