Nanny state
One of the things that really annoys me is the nanny state. I amy go into details at another time, but I appear to be too pissed to type correcxtly so I'll keep this brief.
Weirdness/nannyness number 1: on a bottle of Timotei shampoo that's in our bathroom (vanilla and something, for smooth hair, if you're interested) - "This is not a food product". Blimey, I'm now stuck for dinner.....
Weirdness number two: just seen on the BBC weather site: "The BBC production team work with the forecasters to make sure that the editorial line 'fits' with the BBC's output for the day". For the weather? Howdo you make the weather fit the editorial line? All is fine and dandy, make it sunny for goodness sake?
