Height to Weight Ratio

[Ste Preece]

Now this one is always a funny one in my book. Yesterday I had a height & weight assessment done whilst passing an NHS stall in the town centre. The result was that I was overweight!! I'm 5ft 11" and I weigh 14 stones and can pinch an inch around my waist. Remembering, of course, that muscle is heaver that fat. Even the girl who did the test grinned broadly with the result. She gave me a list of things with a calorie count on them and I complained because it didn't mention beer!!

I remember once going to the doctors during my service to pick a prescription up for my mother. The height and weight ratio calculators had just come out then and the doctor ran the test by me. The result, even back then, was that I was over weight and the doctor just smiled and told me that the test was a pile of sh*te, just before he threw the weight calculator into the bin. LOL.

After this test, I walked further down the shopping mall and gazed at the many passers-by, thinking to myself, "I bet when half of these fat bassards pass the chemist, the weighing machine runs in and locks the doors."!!!

Guys: Yes it appears the height to weight ratio technique is a load of bollix.

I'm pleased about that. Following the test I'd planned on cutting down on my weekend boozing. Buy hey come on!!!

Some things are just not worth it!!!
