My cholesterol shocker

Healthy hearts need cholesterol

First up, an apology, in Wednesday’s letter I said Akira Endo had his cholesterol check up in 2024, this was a typo, he actually had it in 2004. Last week I experienced a disappointment, I decided to get a full medical checkup – as is advised for people of my age every 5 years. Last time I went into the GP’s surgery was pre-Covid!

The great British mashed potato boom

Here’s some news… Sales of mashed potato are flying in the UK! At first, you might think this is fine. Why would this story be controversial? Well, because of this… It’s not WHOLE POTATOES that are soaring in popularity… We’re not talking about people mashing potatoes at home, as they’ve been doing for centuries.
