I always think, when people point this out, that everyone and their budgerigar was smoking back then, and how when my mother quit she went from underweight to overweight (BMI categories), but is healthier than she has ever been at least in my memory. I think the reason more people are in the overweight BMI category today is because far less people smoke than they used to. I was reading some research into post-cessation weight-gain after I realised this, and turns out the average smoker gains about 10kg when they quit, but this weight has no effect on their overall health compared to people that didn't put it on (hence smoking should never be advanced as a weightloss device).

I didn't know my father used tattle!Our diet was mainly to fill us up and cost as little as possible! We had Yorkshire pudding as a ‘starter’ before the main course … to fill us up and not notice it was mainly Lottie veg and a small bit of beef. If we were still hungry it was Yorkshire pudding with jam and sugar on. in the summer, depending on how the allotment was doing, we would have Yorkshire Pudding pudding which was Fruit cooked in the batter. I remember watching a cooking programme in the late 70’s ish (probably Keith Floyd) and them making clafoutis and everyone pointing at the tele shouting ooh look, Yorkshire Pudding pudding
He's told me a number of times about how they'd have Yorkshire pudding for starter and dessert. Also he's very proud of coming from the Rhubarb triangle.
if anyone wanted to do a counter post saying ‘neighbour went out at 9:30pm should i log it with 101’ I’d be eternally grateful 
why are people like this??
