    I need a quick bit of advice please.

    You could always try Tibetan butter tea! Replace the milk with butter and add salt to taste. It does need to be churned to a froth so the the butter doesn’t just sit as a slick of oil on the surface. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Butter_tea

    PIP Assessment

    PIP Assessment

    Be aware they may well be observing you before the formal interview. I accompanied my former wife to her assessment. When the interviewer came to ask about her mobility issues, she casually dropped, “I can see you struggle with your balance from watching you walk from the car park.” Saying...

    Type 2s: What was your fasting blood glucose in a morning? (very low chat level)

    Meat and Life Expectancy

    I agree we are omnivores. We are lucky, at least in the richer countries, to be able to choose from a variety of healthy diets depending upon our moral judgements and health needs. I disagree with your take on climate change, you seem to be advocating kicking the can down the road to our...
