I remember the advert the first time round and I don't think it made people eat too many eggs, just appreciate the nutritional value - or have a laugh at Hancock.

So, sorry Nanny, I think you're a very silly old woman and..................OK Nanny, I'll go and stand in the corner.........

Whilst we argue amongst ourselves over one issue or another (currently eggs) the government is inexorably enmeshing us into the EU by stealth. I wonder what bad news is being buried whilst the egg debate rages?

I had my annual coronary check-up recently that included taking at least an armful of blood after starving and going thirsty except for water - ugh! (they call it fasting) for 16 hours and my cholesterol reading was 3.4. No doubt down to my daily intake of Simvastatin.

I eat between 4 and 6 eggs every week, fried (with fried dry cure bacon butties), scrambled (on toast buttered with real butter) or soft boiled.

So nanny can bleat all she likes because I will continue to ignore her and eat everything in moderation. Including strawberries and double cream, a selection of cream cakes plus red meat, home made chips done in beef dripping etc.
