A point of view! Nelson’s Column by JOHN FISHER menus, at the other end of the scale the equally enterprising Royal Mint is hoping the year ahead will be fortunate for them too. So all parties will be pleased to know that this promises to be a better than ‘fair to middling’ kind of a year for business, whether you are planning to mark the arrival of the Year of the Monkey with dim sum and fortune cookies or specially commissioned gold coins ranging in face value from £2 to £500 each. Monkey business DEVON’S 60-PLUS CHINESE RESTAU- RANTS and takeaways are not the only businesses looking forward to the start of the Chinese New Year on 8th <strong>Feb</strong>ruary. As they throw open their doors to welcome guests eager to explore their special festive image courtesy BHF Name that tune and save a life DEVON SCHOOLCHILDREN are among the 35,000 young people in the UK who are being targeted by the British Heart Foundation to show them what CPR can do to save lives in an emergency. It stands for Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation and is the first aid technique that can be used if someone is not breathing properly or if their heart has stopped. Chest compressions and rescue breaths keep blood and oxygen circulating in the body. The British Heart Foundation used Vinnie Jones in its tv advert to show the beat you might adopt if you perform hands-only CPR to the tune of Stayin’ Alive by The BeeGees. Which tune you opt for might depend on your age: so Nellie the Elephant or The Archers will do just as well, providing you try to perform those life saving chest compressions at 100 Traditionally the Year of the Monkey is associated with ambition, activity, smartness and adventure. But as you swing into the year or branch out to explore another tree, be on your guard for mischief. You know what monkeys are. Chinese restaurants abound in Yellow Pages whilst those gold coins can be mined only at www.royalmint.com . Oh, yes – and Gong Hey Fat Choy! to all our readers! -120 a minute. Just call 999, says the British Heart Foundation, then push Hard and Fast. Nil desperandum RESEARCHERS FROM EXETER UNIVER- SITY reveal it’s more dangerous for animals, humans included, to be too thin and risk starving to death, rather than too fat. Dr. Andrew Higginson said. “Storing fat is an insurance against the risk of failing to find food: for pre-industrial humans this was most likely in winter. This suggests New Year is the worst possible time to start a new diet.” FACT: Spring is about to be sprung. Start your diet in April and you will turn heads on the beach this summer. But in a nice way. Devon’s night of the wolf THE LAST WOLF IN ENGLAND was hunted to extinction in the 14th century but Devon’s fallow deer can still be spooked by the sight of what they take to be the eyes of a wolf glinting and moving towards them through undergrowth. It’s why so-called ‘wolf posts’ have been erected at certain places along the edge of that part of the A38 between Exeter and Plymouth which is wooded. The wolf posts are designed, not to reflect the light of a vehicle’s headlights back towards the driver but instead to angle it at 90- degrees and into the woods at the side of the road. A series of posts therefore can create the suggestion that the points of light are moving rapidly and the deer – or other nocturnal wanderer - is thus startled and turns tail. A Highways Agency report suggests that there may be as many as 20,000 road incidents involving deer in the UK every year (20% of them in Scotland) with perhaps 80% of the total happening at dusk or dawn. The same report also cautioned that over time the deer become familiar with the perceived threat – a question surely of who’s afraid of the big bad wolf? JOHN FISHER mydevonevents 37
