Are some people that desperate for football to return that they are willing to put lives at risk. Count me out.
It's not just that people are desperate, some are willing to take those risks just so it 'cheers them up a bit'.
People distraught about months without football . Because no KFC . Can’t see relatives and friends for a short time . etc How about no football for 6 years . All sorts of food off the menu, rationing. Relatives and friends sent away for years , lots never returning at all. etc How a lot of pathetic Brits would cope with a war I don’t know
I was surprised to find out that even on rationing the average calorie intake was greater than the 2500 men and 2000 women regarded as normal today. To me it proves that most of modern fattiness is simply down to lack of activity and rubbish food quality.
they were encouraged to grow as much home produce as the could so they will have been eating good quality fruit and veg I’m sure they helped too together with the exercise
As kids we were quite lucky tbh. We had to walk to school, play outside in all weathers and get chased by the lads from the next village .... .... paradise
Exactly. When me and Mrs EJK were in the process of emigrating back in 2007, there were more than a few people that I worked with who said stuff like “I’d love to do what you’re doing but I’d miss the football too much” and this was the easiest job application I’d ever done, to give me the chance to live in a country where during spring summer and autumn the sun is nearly guaranteed to shine. To own a house with a pool, but no, “I’d miss the football”.
When I was a kid (born 1949) we still had rationing and my dad and eldest brother had an allotment bigger than penalty area size which includes a pigeon cree and they grew all our vegetables right through till I left home in 1968. This new fad eat five veggies a day was nothing new in our house cos we had them virtually every day and were encouraged to fill up on spuds or bread (all home baked) on days when we didn't have a proper dinner, I had five brothers and learnt very early that around the dinner table shy bairns got nowt. People these days are bone idle and wouldn't dream of putting the effort in in having an allotment (me included by the way but I've always grown a few veg in my garden). We live in different times when the supermarkets are full of every conceivable fruit and veg it doesn't encourage people to grow their own.
