Anyone who has shopped from Temu will know the pain of purchasing something that looks brilliant online, only to open the box when it arrives from China a couple of carbon footprint-enhancing weeks later to find it is literal rubbish. The only saving grace of which is that when you do actually buy something high-quality […]

You don’t have to be a royal to sit in Wimbledon’s royal box, but it helps. Joining Hugh Grant – a proper national institution – in the royal box on Wednesday was Camilla, Queen Camilla or Queen Consort Camilla (delete according to taste). The BBC posted the video of her grand (well, grand-ish) entrance and […]

There are certain things British people are pretty much obliged to enjoy or participate in, and mostly they live up to those expectations, without complaint.

Presenter Bev Turner wasn’t too concerned, and tried to laugh it off with that climate sceptics’ favourite – “But the summer of ’76, blah, blah, blah.” Watch how that worked out […]
