There is a suggestion that petrol advertising and labelling should have a "climate" health warning. Can't remember which organisation suggested it, but was in this morning's news.

Probably the Society for Printing Compulsory Labelling. There's usually a pressure group involved. But none of the TV adverts I see urge you to buy fuel at a specific place or of a particular brand. No-one I know is ever going to buy fuel just because it is advertised if they don't own a car, and what happens to those extolling the green virtues of the company's research into making fuel from algae?

Amusement arcades involving gambling are part of the seaside resort experience, and should IMHO^▸ be permitted but not advertised.

Not always a pleasant part!

I agree, and I would therefore prohibit the advertising of such facilities. I would also use the planning system to discourage excessive provision of amusement arcades, betting shops and similar facilities.
A pre-existing amusement arcade or betting shop within a reasonable distance, should IMO^▸ be a reason to oppose the granting of planning consent for additional similar facilities.

A proper intercity train has a minimum of 8 coaches, gangwayed throughout, with first at one end, and a full sized buffet car between first and standard.
It has space for cycles, surfboards,luggage etc.
A 5 car DMU^▸ is not a proper inter-city train. The 5+5 and 9 car DMUs are almost as bad.

I hope you have more success than Public Health had trying to restrict fast food outlets near schools.
