MODERN BRITAIN UPDATE
From the Grauniad:
Changes in guidelines for helping obese people are being demanded today after firefighters were called to a house four times last week to lift a 41-stone man.
Robert Marsden needed ten firefighters to move him 2ft across his bed at his council flat in Grangemouth, Stirlingshire.
I can't help noting that the article appears in the Grauniad's Health and Well-Being section.
