Re: 1 in 4 Britons are fat!
The research involved about 8,000 adults and 2,000 children aged two to 15.
Hardly conclusive i would say

I spoke to Dace last night. Much <3 to him.
He was sitting or lying in an empty bath for some reason.
Can't remember much of the conversation, but we all know Dace is Ace when Drunk.

That's actually a pretty wide sample. Most professional political opinion polls only guage the responses of a few thousand, if that.

Why not just install them in London. Theres more wind generated there in a few square miles around Westminster than there is in the rest of the British Isles.

Re: 1 in 4 Britons are fat!
I know this thread is about Britons being fat...
But it's nowhere near the US ratio:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/americas/4501646.stm
Quote:
In the spiritual home of the super-sized meal, more than 119 million adults - or 64.5% of the adult population - are either overweight or obese.
...
By the time of the next Olympics, doctors predict that three out of four people in the country will have a body mass index of more than 25, the benchmark of corpulence.
