Yesterday - and I don't think yesterday was even a proper working day - I got a massive load of PR emails, all about one thing; dieting. OK, some of them weren't calling themselves 'diets'; 21st century dieting is far more sophisticated than that. So there were emails on 'detoxing' on 'new regimes' on 'whole new health concepts'. As I was saying, lots of emails on dieting.
It seems a little unfair. Only last week my inbox was full of subject lines such as, 'the gooiest mince pies', 'make your own Heston pudding' and every supermarket I went into was stuffed with recipe cards daring us to make the most calorific of treats, as well as a seeming policy on only having on offer things with over 70,000 calories per serving.
But, oh it seems that was last week people. This week it's all low-cal emails (email light) and Slimmer's World cynically stuffing leaflets through my letter box, well "hang on" I scream - I would stand up and scream but frankly I'm too stuffed and my thighs rubbing together is getting on my nerves - hang on I'm still in Christmas Land even if you're thinking lettuce juice for breakfast.
It's the 28th December. This is Christmas. Quality Street anyone?
Yes please, in fact, pass the tin!
