This is a question Gyms

Our menu consists of burgers, chips, deep-fried crap of every conceivable type, and beer. We rarely have any healthy food or diet beverages on offer.

This means that people spend two hours in the gym, then they have a cheese & bacon burger with cheesy curly fries and a pint of Guinness. This pretty much cancels out any calories they burnt sweating like a fool on the other side of the building.

I meanwhile, never go to the gym ever, cycle to work and eat reasonably healthily, and don't sit around wondering why I'm fat - and am not having £50 a month debited directly from my dirty digits.

So what, really, is the point of that?

Still, maybe a sloppy pint that DOESN'T lead to sloppy guts is better

I read that as "deep fried crab". I thought that sounds rather nice.

That may have to be
tomorrow's new deep-fried experience.
Maltesers, After-Eights, KitKats all deep fried well.
Lettuce and grated cheese did not. Sweetcorn and slush puppy caused oily explosions.
