I fancy you can barter quite a lot of things, but probably not with banks !

The thing that is most in need of rationing is the amount of time spent on social media and internet forums.

"Ms Lumley acknowledged that viewers may see her as a "rich, old, fat woman preaching" but said that she intends to set an example that others could follow."
It may be an age thing, but I will never seen Joanna as either old or fat. And if she is rich then good. I don't know where her wealth came from but it was money well spent.

But I am not into this rationing lark. Folk always think they are being virtuous when they are just making themselves miserable.

As I said in the jokes forum, there are two very different issues here. Obesity and assholes who think we should go vegan to save the planet from cow farts  I think about 10% of the UK population could benefit from some form of food rationing. The problem of course is M/s Lumley belongs to that group that have ways and means to acquire things others are denied. Far from stopping rearing cattle, we should do what UCC and UWIST  pioneered in 79. Rear them in barns, let the methane rise to an airtight void in the roof and use a platinum catalyst to convert the farted methane to useful energy plus carbonated water.
