obese-city (23 replies)

I was down south last week for a funeral and being as I'd never get to see a game took the opportunity to go to the Francis testimonial.

I admit, I rarely have much need to visit big city's and until recently have been living in a very secluded place in the country for the last 30 years. For 25 years I'd not had a TV or used iplayer etc, until last November. I guess you could say I've been living under a rock. A very happy rock at that.

I thought there were lots of fat people in Fife but Birmingham just blow me away with the number of obese people. It seemed about 75% were over weight and many very over weight. Even the young pretty ones had a lot of "puppy fat" making me think they'll be next in the obesity queue. Fat bellies hanging out on public display all over the shop and fashion slaves wearing totally unsuitable clothes like lycra leggings for their blubbery figures.

Do people have no self respect or idea of how to look after themselves. The walk back to the New Street was painful for me because people walked so slowly and I'm 64 with knackered knees.

What the heck is going on.
