Nanny State Gone Wild?

I have recently changed the brand of yoghurt which I use.  It is thick, creamy and delicious.  On the carton are the words "Plain Whole Milk Greek Yoghurt".  Down at the bottom of the carton are the words  "Whole Milk Yoghurt".

As it is so thick and creamy I wondered if a thickener had been added so I read the list of ingredients:-  Skim milk, Cream, Live Yoghurt Cultures.  CONTAINS  MILK

Just fancy that  -  contains milk?

In Great Britain there has been a questionnaire about the most popular names for cats and would you believe that the most popular female cat's name is Poppy so we are right up with it, although her proper kennel name is Poppaea (she was Nero's wife, poor woman).  Parsifal didn't even get a look-in, nor did its diminutive Percy.  Parsifal was one of the Grail Knights and is supposed to have been the one who found the Holy Grail but he was not very bright so it must have been the magical ring given to him, as these things were, by a maiden whom he met in the forest.

I have two one-hundredth birthday parties scheduled for this week (same person, different organisers) and a dental appointment and then next week I am having my first cataract removed from my eye which I am not looking forward to as the outcome is slightly questionable.  The ophthalmologist is all for getting it removed but this time last year he was saying that I could be risking total blindness if I had it done.  I will still have one eye, though, and if the first eye is OK then I will have the second one done.  It will either be no spectacles or a white stick.

The Limerick:-

When you go to a store in Ascutney,
There is no use to ask them for Chutney.
You may plead, you may tease,
You may go on your knees:
It will do you no good, they ain't got any.
