This reminds me of one of my sisters-in-law. She is an eternal dieter. Often, at a family gathering, she will take a slice of cake, cut in two, and say "I am on a diet", then, she eats both pieces. 😂

anyway - decided to check out the tablets the doc gave me

some are for blood pressure - for some reasons being in A&E and being told I had had a mini stroke made it high - no idea why??

anyway - Looked at the dose and stuff

adults 40mg perday


elderly 20 mg per day


instructions - take one 20mg tablet per day

bit like the old thing at a restaurant where "I'll just have a salad" and then expecting to share you chips!

at least my wife is realistic and will order her own chips
(and give me the ones left over - can I choose them or what!!)

The problem with " sharing " a portion of chips is the interpretation of " Do you want that last chip? " followed by " No, you have it " followed by " shall we share it ". `it's always best to cede possession to the lady ( or order another portion )

When I go to the pub at lunchtime with my neighbour we have just one drink plus a bowl of chips.
I leave ot to him re salt, vinegar and mayo.
But it's always interesting when it get down to the last chip.

Well cutting it does allow all the calories to leak out. Same with broken biscuits.

Technically, if you eat a whole cake without cutting it then you have only had one piece.
