It doesn't stop at Not Poodles. Crisps, cakes, biscuits, ice creams, all sorts of drinks like sugary and sugar-free carbonated and still drinks.

There are hundreds of food products out there that are nutritionally empty.

Instead of sugary drinks, drink water.
Instead of empty calories like Pot Noodles, Greggs white bread, etc, make a packed lunch at home with a good quality wholemeal or sourdough loaf, lots of fresh salad and or vegetables and good quality protein like tuna or salmon, chicken...

Carry fresh fruit and bags of nuts which are great for snacks.

UPF is characterised by containing ingredients typically not found in your kitchen cupboards at home and by going through various processes in a factory that you can't do at home.

at one time or another and lived round the corner from Daedalus. We could hear their bugler playing sunset most nights.

Thing I remember about Daedalus was the tough assault course and managing to get a ride in a Wessex 5. And the oggy van near Raleigh where they used to take you out for training in the whalers on the river. While I was there, the old Ark Royal was moored down river waiting to be scrapped - a sad sight. This was early 80s.

A correction to my previous reply. Collingwood was the base with the assault course.

That’s a baby one, HMS Royal Arthur in Wiltshire (now closed) used to have one called the cliff and chasm. You had to drag half a telegraph pole around, a great big hunk of rope and an old type wooden council handcart, bloody thing must have weighed a ton. The rope was used to get down the chasm then chuck the rope in the handcart and run home uphill. It was about 3/4 of a mile and you had to carry the telegraph pole all the way. It was a 6 week leadership course culminating in a trek through the black mountains (where the SAS train) for 72 hours.

When I left the mob it used to make me laugh when employers sent you on a team building exercise for a weekend. Civvie firms dont have a clue, far better off down the pub or ten pin bowling where people could play for the team and enjoy some downtime.
