Don’t get excited Plods with Beer, the name came from a much older programme where two teams from around the UK each week competed in ballroom and modern dancing. That was ‘Come Dancing’. The BBC then ‘vamped up’ the programme, made it more of a reality show, added ‘Celebrities’ dancing with professional dancers and called it “Strictly, Come Dancing”.

Unfortunately, it isn’t true. In the UK and across most EU countries, at least in cities and large organisations, lunch breaks are about 1 hour at most and many people skip them as well. Plus, we don’t all eat fresh veg and red wine, we have large fast food chains here as well…
Some of us don’t believe in God and look how OWS is getting those involved in it treated by a supposed ‘free’ government and media in the USA…
