Woman, 102, Reveals Secret To Her Long Life - Eating Egg And Chips Every Day

A woman celebrating her 102nd birthday says the secret to her long life is double egg and chips every day. Keen dancer Winnie Dickinson puts her long life down to her appetite for her favourite fried dish - which she has eaten around 30,000 times, so far. The centenarian believes she has consumed around 60,000 eggs and has even been known to turn down a Christmas dinner in favour of the British staple. She said: 'I've always eaten double egg and chips. If people ever ask me how I've made it to this age, that's what I tell them. It's my favourite meal and I've eaten it everyday. 'People might think it's bad for you, but it's never done me any harm.' Winnie, who was born in Colchester, Essex, moved to Doncaster, South Yorkshire, with her husband 75 years ago. She became a resident at Amethyst Care Home, in Rossington, in 2011.
Winnie with dancing partner Arthur Taylor and carer (SWNS) Susan Seale, manager at the care home, said: 'When Winnie first came to us she was asking for egg and chips all the time. I remember her granddaughter telling us that she once took Christmas dinner around to her and she didn't eat it because she would rather have the egg and chips. 'She still enjoys her eggs but sometimes she has to have boiled egg sandwiches instead.' Winnie, now a widow, was a local dressmaker in Rossington and made costumes for the local dance schools. She also made wedding dresses for the local brides.
Winnie says the secret to a long life if double egg and chips. (SWNS) The great grandma has always been a keen ballroom dancer and enjoyed taking a spin on the boards with friends at Parkland club, Doncaster, until she was 101. Susan said: 'When Winnie couldn't dance anymore she used to go and watch them. She had to stop after a while because all she wanted to do was get up and join in. 'She has become a much loved resident and is a great character.'

Snoop Lion excommunicated from the Rastafari Community, according to Bunny Wailer! Bunny has always had his doubts about  Snoop Lion ‘s intent and now his skepticism has taken an even stronger stance, that of excommunication. The news was broken via his  Facebook  profile and via  press release . Recently Snoop Lion has struggled to convince the Rastafari and Reggae community that he is sincere about his profession of, and transition to the faith, principles and beliefs of Rastafari. Most doubtful is Bunny Wailer the only living member of the original Wailer. ‘ Excommunication is a religious censure used to deprive, suspend, or limit membership in a religious community or to restrict certain rights within it.
