Britain’s fattest families

Tuesday, December 15th, 2009

Fat-loss expert Steve Miller move into the homes of some of Britain’s fattest families and use a range of shock tactics to help them lose weight before it’s too late.

It’s not your genes, he tells them, in a series called Fat Families, which starts on 6th January on Sky1.

It’s  entrenched habits and over-large portions that’s left them suffering health problems including diabetes, asthma, and sleep apnoea.

Steve will use his no-nonsense approach to  make these six morbidly obese families recognise that things have got to change.

If the question’s “How do I sell my story?” then the answer’s just a click away.

• A weekly women’s magazine is looking for funny pantomime stories – where something really mad happened – from women aged  18 to 35.

 • Do you have three generations of young mothers from in the same family – grandma, mother and daughter – who can all talk about having children in their teenage years and about being brought up by a young mother? For a women’s weekly magazine.

• Are you aged 15 to 20? Would you like to tell a women’s weekly magazine what it’s like to be the oldest sibling in a family of six children or more – particularly if you loved or hated being the oldest.

Has the recession made you shoplift?

Sunday, November 15th, 2009

shoplift-bottleMiddle class shoplifters really are in the news.

I was paying for my shopping in Manchester city centre only last week when an assistant came in all out of breath.

She’d been chasing a shoplifter who helped himself to a bottle of organic malt whisky, which she’d managed to retrieve from him. ORGANIC WHISKY. You don’t get more middle class than that!

The Daily Mail this week reports that middle class shoplifting is up a fifth year on year, totalling £4.88bn.

Whether that figure is anything like true is anyone’s guess.  And quite how they measure middle classness is a bit of a mystery.

But it does raise interesting questions – about the recession and whether “law-abiding” folk are tempted to “relax” their morals in times of need. For groceries, for clothes, for that little luxury.

If you want to come clean and tell us your own story of middle class shoplifting  – even if you can only do so anonymously –  call Angela or John at Sell That Story on 0161 660 9404 or email info@sellthatstory.com
