G'day Greg,

    "... only ever allowed one ginger biscuit. I've just eaten ten ..."

The trouble is that sometime after your Mum no longer tells you not to eat those extra biscuits ... your doctor does! (Hmmm ... Mr Bolton ... the cholestrerol values looks pretty good, but ... are you aware that you are a diabetic?)

About 4000 km of walking home nights; leaving the car behind whenever possible; throwing out the biscuit barrel ... and the sugar bowl ... reading up on glycæmic index and eating all the healthy foods - I am 10 kg lighter, bllod sugar levels all in order ... but: "Hmmm ... Mr Bolton ... Of course it would be better if your lost another 10 kg, you know!"

Regards,

Bob Bolton (Munching an apple for lunch time 'afters' ... instead of a tub of wedges)
