I met a Chinese medicine doctor 30 years ago in Harlow Essex. He told me ( through an interpreter) that drinking copious amounts of oolong tea counters the effects of smoking tobacco . a few years ago at a client i worked with a guy who was a definite tea ‘buff’. We were working at a client in Cirencester, home town to Keith’s Tea Emporium and if you know, you know but that place is like a 19th Century Tea Importer. Anyway this chap opened my eyes to the difference between First Flush Darjeeling (which i don’t think is worth it) Large Leaf Darjeeling (which IS) Black Assam and various Oolongs given what Keith’s special Oolong blend did to me i think it would in large doses clear everything, the same way drain cleaner unblocks sewers.

If you watch recorded episodes of Multicoloured Swap Shop made in seventies, you can see that something is not quite the same. People are typically a normal weight. Actually I noticed that when watching the women dance on the 70s Top of the Pops in the audience. The majority of the girls there had the classic feminine hourglass figure, except they did not come across as the type who were fitness fanatics or even those who employ surgeons. They were your run-of-the-mill West London middle class teenager types and they could certainly dance too. Indeed it is one of my hobbies having an interest in dance and so I am quite perceptive regarding it. The teenagers a today just have not got the same touch. Their bodies even when not over-weight as they say these days were rather close to a male body. Gone were the long slender feminine shaped legs and so on and they come across as clumsy in their walk. All in all they just don't have what a man would regard as attractive in women. I did spot what I would say was the perfect specimen of a feminine body on the tube the other day. I could not help looking at her, but as soon as she spoke I clocked she too was foreign and was probably something funny like Norwegian. Poor British lads eh? They are going to have to become multilingual! I remember the seventies (a bit) and i don't remember people typically being fitness fanatics. The fitness craze didn't really arrive until the eighties and those silly wristbands / headbands. I feel what really changed was the diet.
