Hah! and Hah! again. But those who wish to believe that we are all getting sick thanks to evil (= American) multinationals profiting from drugs and processed foods will continue to believe this whatever the evidence.

Tricky this one - I'm married to a teacher but also worried what will happen when our young 'un stops going to nursery and starts at primary school and wants to come home at 3pm.... A lot of teachers already have very long hours for little pay (ie the hubby - but then it's mostly GCSE and A/S level pupils that make him stay late, he's not a primary school teacher). I'd happily pay 80 quid a week for the little chap to hang out with his mates for a bit longer whilst we put in a full day of work. Much cheaper than the 700 quid or so a month I pay for his nursery right now.
