Are you listening, Jamie Oliver?

The overnight snow has led to the closure of the local secondary schools. My daughter is delighted but my son is disappointed because he was looking forward to the school "talent" show which was due to take place this morning.

He had helped write the following words which were to be sung by his entire class to the tune of The Twelve Days of Christmas. Note: what you are about to read demonstrates the sheer futility of lecturing teenagers about junk food and (I suspect) alcohol or cigarettes.

I won't bore you with every verse but the finale goes like this:

On the twelth day of Christmas
I bought from KFC:
Twelve Mexican wraps
Eleven chicken caesars
Ten saucy baked beans
Nine popcorn chickens
Eight tasty Fantas
Seven turkey burgers
Six chocolate cookies
Five ... onion rings
Four french fries
Three Diet Cokes
Two chicken wings
and a bargain bucket for the family

Jamie Oliver, eat your heart out!

Disclaimer: while I regularly (two or three times a month) take my children to McDonalds, I don't think I have ever taken them to KFC. I, on the other hand, do occasionally go to KFC - on average, once every three or four months when my body, inexplicably, cries out for a finger lickin' good variety meal.

My New Years Resolution is to stop eating KFC, stop smoking and stop drinking, then I can have the looks and personality of Sir Liam Donaldson!
