Alcohol Free "Pub"

I see Jamie Walker has set up Dry, an alcohol free pub in Edinburgh.

He is quoted by The Morning Advertiser as saying:

"A choice hasn't really been given in Edinburgh tp be able to go to an alcohol free space."

Every success and all that, but aren't alcohol free "pubs" called cafes?

The Dangers of Caffeine

As per the Telegraph, commiserations to the two students were nearly killed after they were given enough caffeine for 300 cups of coffee during a botched science experiment.

Northumbria University has been fined £400,000 for the incident in March 2015 which caused Alex Rossetto and Luke Parkin to be rushed to hospital and put on dialysis.

The pair had volunteered to take part in a test aiming to measure the effect of caffeine on exercise, but a basic calculation error meant the second-year students were given 100 times the correct dosage.

Prosecutor Adam Farrer told Newcastle Crown Court that the pair should have been given 0.3g of caffeine in the orange juice mix, but were in fact given 30g.

There is 0.1g in the average cup of coffee.

Newcastle Crown Court heard the calculation had been done on a mobile phone, the decimal point being put in the wrong place and there being no risk assessment for the test.

Given all the health and safety/risk BS we are force fed every day, I am more than "puzzled" as to how an institution of academic excellence managed not only to put the decimal point in the wrong place, but also didn't think to apply common sense wrt the dosage before giving it to the hapless students!

Will Nanny ban caffeine then, given that it is clearly dangerous?

Nanny's Chip Inspector

The other day Nanny's chums from the Food Standards Agency (FSA) stated that crispy roast potatoes and browned toast (starchy foods that are roasted/toasted form acrylamide) cause cancer.

All very well and tedious, except for the fact that there is no proof that there is a link to cancer.

Anyhoo, undeterred by lack of scientific evidence and a general drubbing by all and sundry that the advice is bollocks, Nanny is now gearing up to enforce a "no burn" rule in pubs, cafes and restaurants.

The Telegraph reports that under a new European Union food hygiene directive, due to be adopted in the UK by the the end of 2017 (ermm aren't we leaving?), pubs and restaurants will be told to take reasonable steps to reduce acrylamide in food or face enforcement measures.

It means those eateries continuing to serve "high acrylamide" foods, such as brown roast potatoes or burned Yorkshire puddings, could be visited by the Food Standards Agency's enforcement officers and face hefty fines.Restaurants will be offered a guide full of tips on how to reduce acrylamide in food which will also be used by the FSA's enforcement team to gauge whether levels are unacceptably high.

The guide will include colour charts designed to be kept in kitchens to show chefs which shades of yellow and brown are safe for cooked chips and potatoes to match.

It will also advise chefs to buy types of potatoes which are low in starch and blanch chips and potatoes before frying or roasting, and cooking them at a lower heat and for less time.

Were this 1 April I would have assumed that this was a joke, but it isn't!!

Well I don't know about anyone else, but if I want dark brown tatties etc in a restaurant I will order and eat them, and if I don't I won't. I don't need Nanny stepping in to help me order food when eating out!

Boris Nailed It!

People "offended" by The Foreign Secretary's comments today are humourless, deliberately obtuse, snowflakes-it's a witty metaphor #getalife

— Michael Gove (@michaelgove) January 18, 2017

There is an irony that Gove comes to Boris's defence.

However, Gove is right:

Get a Life!
