Skegness donkeys under pressure from obese kids

A seaside donkey-ride owner says he now weighs children because of high obesity levels.

John Nuttall, whose family has been operating in Lincolnshire for more than 100 years, said children were required to step on a set of scales if they appeared to weigh over 6st (38kg).

Katharine Jenner, director of the Obesity Health Alliance, said it was "completely unacceptable to weigh a child in public".
