Some were yesterday accused of “ripping off” environmentally friendly customers. Healthy eating … and they wonder why folk take a free cup they can throw away Unless food and drink chains offer a small discount for using a reusable cup, even if only for the first year, I certainly wouldn't pay £15 for one.

Two dead in south London crashA man and woman in their 70s died when their car was in collision with a van chased by police. For the Van driver... Let’s put it out there, this is NOT the fault of the police officers. I am positive they are in grief right now and will be supported. The fault lies with the criminals 100%. Anyone who says otherwise is being foolish. It’s time you all get off your bums and support our Police! We must put a stop to police chases around our congested streets. Surely drones could be used instead if a helicopter would be impractical or costly.
