Right, so I’ve just heard the news and I’m honestly a bit stunned. Amazon is closing down all of its Fresh stores in the UK. Every. Single. One. And, for all that fanfare about being the future of shopping, they are throwing in the towel entirely. I was among the early birds who tried their […]

Did you watch the news last week? I was scrolling through my phone as I sipped my morning cuppa when it appeared: Harry and Charles, at last, face-to-face after 19 months of utter silence. It made me think of my relationship with my dad, actually. We had a proper falling out a few years back […]

I’ve been watching Henry Cole on telly for years and one thing that has always struck me is how he talks about his family with an obvious affection. Do you know how certain celebs are forever going on about their personal lives? Henry’s the complete opposite; he’s very private about his home life, which means […]

Last week, I was having a pint with my mate Oliver, and he was rambling on about this crazy jock fight that went down in Brisbane. I thought he was just joking, but it actually happened, and it was proper serious. So there are these two jockeys, right? Noel Callow and Kyle Wilson-Taylor. Hadn’t heard […]

Last month, my mate James came back from Palma looking proper fed up. “I’m never going back there,” he said, shaking his head. It looks like he was blasted by locals with water pistols while he was looking to grab a coffee. Welcome to 2025, where Majorca has gone from rolling out the red carpet […]

Walked out to put my bins out last Tuesday morning and nearly tripped over a massive rat. Size of a proper cat, it was. Sitting there bold as brass next to a mountain of rubbish bags that’s been growing outside my neighbour’s house for weeks. Just life in Birmingham at the moment. It is five […]

Right, so I was round my mum’s last Tuesday, half-watching This Morning while she made us a brew. Then Alison popped up on screen, and my jove, I nearly choked on my biscuit. “She looks incredible!” Mum shouted from the kitchen. “How’s she done that, then?” Got me thinking about Alison Hammond’s weight loss and […]

I was queuing at the post office last Thursday when this bloke behind me started moaning to his wife about the government. “Mark my words,” he goes, “they’re coming for our money again. That Reeves woman’s planning another bloody tax raid.” His missus just rolls her eyes, but it turns out the fella might be […]

Volkswagen has recalled 359 T-Roc SUVs. There’s a problem with the headlights. They may shine too brightly. This can blind other drivers. That raises the chance of accidents. The issue affects cars made between 2024 and 2025. All versions of the T-Roc may have this fault. Owners are being asked to get the car checked. […]

Right, let’s keep this simple. You’re in the kitchen; maybe you’ve just popped the kettle on, and there’s a bowl of satsumas sitting on the counter. You pick one up, peel it in a few quick swipes, and think, “Hang on, how many calories are actually in this?” Well, the short answer: Roughly 35 to […]
