No To Nanny States-Drink Sloe Gin Eat Cheese.

Nanny States are awful .They continually tell us what to do or not to do ,thus seeking to rob us of any thought process. Today I had to go to Wrightington Hopsital for an appointment. Depressing and how. Every other spare inch of the walls  full of warning notices .One posting read 'AGE IS MY ENEMY:'   It was a 'class A' gloom session waiting area.The Dr was not pleasant, told me the complete opposite of my orthopaedic specialist then got cross with  when I refused Morphine patches.. Outside I saw the bench . No smoking on the bench  but hey have some Morphine ! 
What did I do ? Neither. Drove with a friend to a wonderful Deli in Culcheth where , inspired by Gillboorman I bought the latest wonder - Charcoal Cheddar cheese. Then inspired by Gills brewing indulged in  Riverside Sloe Gin , Sloe Lemonade ,and Beet It  (organic beetroot juice ) .These are my idea of excellent treatment .
