Is that real? There were some related articles with funny names at the bottom. Am I being gullible?

OMG it is! But I can understand the reasoning behind it. We pay extra for heavy baggage, so makes sense.

it does my head in over here, obese people, the unemployed and smokers get free gym membership, and free "quit smoking" help, patches etc whereas us poor employees, or people who aren't lazy have to pay for it all (I know I sound really mean there but soooooooo many people complain of the same thing). It's about time us skinny people got some come back!!
My middle sister (not Carol) is overweight, smokes and is on benefits and in her own words "can't be bothered to go to work." She is entitled to use the gym for free, have 2 aeorbics classes a week free, have stop smoking classes and the nicotine patches all for free. I would love to go to the gym but can't afford the creche there (another thing that she gets free)! I'm pleased that obese people are being blamed for climate change because it makes up for all the free stuf they get!!
I don't mean any offence to anyone in my post, so please don't take any. |
