Sign Of The Times
Paid a visit to the Dentist today, nothing unusual in that.
Observed a new sign in the waiting room "anyone visiting the Dentist who weighs over twenty stones or 134kg, please inform Dentist before treatment starts. Our Dental Chairs are only designed for a maximum weight of 20 stones".

Hi Chris.
They might find it easier to access the teeth through the back passage, save going through the doors .

Re: Sign Of The Times
That explains why so many here in Oz no longer go to the Dentist.
According to reports we have the largest number of obese persons outside of USA.
Thankfully I am only 88 kilo and still have most of my teeth, mainly in a little box.
promised my mother many years ago I would still have all my own teeth at the end.


Happy daze John in Oz.
Life is too short to blend in.
