Re: Safer Gambling Week?
I get a bit ticked off with the nanny state trying to point out the obvious dangers of some activities.
I wonder if it is not counter productive….you see the advert and think….’just for that I will go and back some three legged outsider…..and it wins(pays for a holiday in Rhyl).
With alcohol awareness……well that presses the anger buttons and you need three pints to calm down.
I have never smoked…..so that advice that it will kill me is wasted on me
I won’t dwell on the sexual health advice as that ship has sailed too.
I am more at risk from falling masonry, poison mushrooms(not really I hate mushrooms) or speeding traffic( Blackburn Rd in Clayton is like a formula one race track).
