Congratulations Dunelm

In a previous post I made mention of the fact that many stores do little to challenge obesity. Wide aisles allow easy access to cakes and pies. Not exactly the most pro-active way of challenging gluttony.

With this in mind, a recent trip to Dunelm did much to improve my opinion of the endeavours of retailers in the fight against obesity. Dunelm cunningly placed their cafeteria on the top floor. Not only does this force the chubsters to climb the stairs, thus burning additional calories, but they also had the foresight to place steel posts at the top of the stairs to restrict access. Anyone exceeding a certain mass would be unable to pass between the posts.
Well played Dunelm!

  1. If a fatty got stuck between the posts, it might prove expensive to cut them free. Don't underestimate a fatty that has got a sniff of cake.

  3. Maybe they should put them posts around whole towns? Stoke-on-Trent for example! That place is full of fatties, they could all be wedge in together and only allow to leave when they are slim enough to fit through the bars...

    The benefits office could be outside the barred area too, so the scroungers couldn't get any Disablility Allowance until they were slim enough to no longer need it!

  11. I've never been in Dunelm. I am a bit chubby, so it is just as well.
