Holte End Posted April 13, 2023 Share Posted April 13, 2023 If I was the Treasury Minister , I would abolish employers NI, then I would make personnel NIC up to 18%. Government would then compulsory mandate wage increase to all employees of 9%. This would increase revenue in taxation to treasury, but would also be a true reflection of personnel ITIP contributions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn’t say 5 miles in 4 hours is a good speed, if you get a good workout at that speed then you’re definitely unfit!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no evidence at all that 'normal weight' is a BMI of 18.5 to 25. Like I say, it's a useful indicator of whether one's weight is appropriate for height, but different people will be healthy looking at different BMI figures. I'm running at 27.7 at the moment - could do with losing a few kilos - but a few years ago, when I was trying to go lightweight (from a rowing perspective) I got down to a BMI of 22.6. That should be right in the middle of a healthy weight, but people were literally coming up to ask me if I was OK as I looked gaunt and they thought I must have some serious illness to account for it. If I got as far as 18.5 I would probably be hospitalised. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thommo2010 Posted April 13, 2023 Share Posted April 13, 2023 I done a test thing yesterday for my BMI, for my height and weight my BMI is 29, now don't get me wrong I am no stick figure but I am certainly not overweight. I exercise pretty much on a daily basis and eat decent enough. I am not sure it would be possible for me to lose the weight to get me under 25 which is supposedly a healthy weight without me becoming ill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just be careful you don't get arrested doing that on the beach.... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
