Bowel cancer for under 30s doubles.....

My friend was at that time the youngest person in Britain to get it. 16.

They used him as a lab rat for ages as they were sure he would have the susceptible genes.

He had to go for a check up every year as well. eating nothing for 2-3 days and drinking this special fluid until his pipes were clear then getting a camera rammed up his arse.

i suspect a massive increase in alcohol consumption has more to do with it than dodgy burgers...

Alcohol is not the problem, thankfully

You may be right. HOw many kids eat sprouts cabbage or carrots nowadays? I doubt Bubble n Squeak is on many's plate either - it'll be twizzlers or pizza.

I am sure the recent fads of not eating breads and cereals has not helped.

The dreaded Picolax

That stuff will clean you out in no time

Seriously, if anyone is facing the camera up the bum in the future, and the Dr./Nurse says Do you want a local anaesthetic, you don't need one you know, and if you don't have one, you can leave much earlier as we don't have to wait for it to wear off.... etc, etc, etc....

Call them the spawn of the devil and demand an anaesthetic!!!! As much as you can legally have!

Took me two hours to stagger down the corridor on the way out, walking like John Wayne, farting like thunder (they blow up your tubes like a balloon) with a tear coming out of each eye!
