Letting the side down

Hong Kong has again been let down by a couple of bad apples. A SCMP report on a poll of Hong Kongers' eating habits has found 2% of residents do NOT have a fast food habit. Luckily the other 98% of us do - and how. The survey said HK has more than 11,000 restaurants, of which 3 had no rats in their kitchen. It also has 5,000 grocery stores, of which 1 had a staff member who cared (but whom was instantly dismissed after the release of the survey). The survey said fast food fetishists gorged on the stuff about 7 times a month. That seems amazing because there really isn't much else to eat but "fast" food in HK given Cantonese cooking is based on quick cooking.

While we are talking about people letting Hong Kong down, another survey has said there is an amazing 17% of Hong Kongers' without a mobile phone. This is an absolute disgrace. I hope this year's Christmas appeals help these unfortunate types.

And I shudder to think of the poor wretches who fall into both categories: healthy eaters sans mobile phones. I shudder at the thought. The HK Government must do something at once.
