Fishermen are being warned they are putting themselves at risk of preventable illness and even death by delaying seeking medical advice. Amanda Nithavrianakis, whose skipper husband John died of cancer at the age of 52, believes his attitude of self-reliance and toughness contributed to the delay in his diagnosis and treatment. "There’s this mentality, especially among fishermen," Amanda says. "They’re rufty-tufty. “They think nothing goes wrong with them.

Perhaps one of the greatest achievements of public health policy in recent years has been the significant decline in smoking among the population of the United Kingdom.

You don’t need me to tell you that the British scene isn’t what it was. Not by a long shot. The Internet-driven glory days that saw PROGRESS draw 4,750 fans to Wembley Arena, two years after ICW packed over 6,000 fans into the Hydro in Glasgow… they’re long gone.
