That is nothing new, you seen what is involved in making tins? Lots of companies buy stuff as specialists can make it more cheaply, it's how economies work.

Not enirely know, but have some idea. Tin making is problematic.
Its all computer aided machinery, that make them wrong, which in turn buggers up our machinery! Downtime is expensive too, think how much money is wasted on temps sat idle picking their noses, whilst our machinery is buggered due to tins not being made right:rolleyes: The tonnage of chocolate we churn out per 24 hrs is enough to make anybodies eyes water!

That fast metabolism thing is nonsense. People who weigh more have faster metabolisms because their bosy has to work harder to drag all that flab about.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/health/treatmen...al_myths.shtml

They had 2 friends on a TV show which was quite scientific not one of those game shows. As teenagers were nomal sized but by their mid twenties, one was thin, one overweight and they assumed it was thin + fat and fast and fat = slow metabolism.

The thin girls said 'I eat loads' and the fat girl said 'I eat hardly anything'. So over the course of a couple of weeks they kept a track of everything they ate, and the portion sizes plus their activity levels.

Turned out the fat girl had a much faster metabolism than her skinny mate but the truth was, she was eating much more than her thin friend and was doing less exercise. Bigger portions for every meal, biscuits with her tea, sweets - it was all adding up.

No great scientific revelations there really.

(Just had 2 squares of Galaxy caramel my boss put on my desk - quite nice - but is he trying to make me fat so I can't work?)

Too fat to work, so they get loads of benefits and continue to stuff their useless faces, meanwhile burdening the public health service. Hell fire I used to work at a place that sells the lifting kit for these piles of blubber and I've seen the prices...

So how's this for a solution, the only benefit they're "entitled" to is a battering with a couple of onions in a sock if they whinge and they get 3 healthy meals a day and f*** all else. Problem solved, at one fell swoop we save money on benefits, healthcare and within a few months said whale will be fit to rejoin society. Sorted.

Did anyone see that "Britains fattest man" program a while ago? Whose daily intake included 3 full breakfasts, an indian banquet for 10 and about 15 pints. No WAY should some leeching c*** be able to afford that lifestyle.

If you're "morbidly obese" but otherwise a perfectly normal member of society no problem, go about your business, it's none of anyone else's business what you eat or when.

My definition of "morbidly obese" is some jabba the hutt thing that can't get out of bed, the NHS is mental calling guys who are just big and might like their bitter obese as it just dilutes the term.

Amen! I work in a tyre depot, we get fat people pull up outside in their nice government paid car and just wait for you to go out and see them and then pretty much demand we check/adjust their tyre pressures, they might grunt a 'thanks' if you're lucky.

Bring back national service, will sort out the chavs and half the future fatties.

Ricky Gervais talking about the obese on his new DVD. LMAO

I think it's a ridiculous price as it is for a bar of Dairy Milk and I definately won't buy one if they are making it any smaller!!!!!!!!!!!!

Seems to be the way of things these days, more money for less.:rolleyes:

CADBURY, SORT IT OUT!!!
