My kids usually manage the music, it's easy at the moment with an AUX lead so no real connection with the car. I can see as things are getting more connected this could have issues.

I went 2-3 years ago and really enjoyed it, there is so much to see and they have a lot of unusual exhibits. My main gripe, which I did feed back at the time, was they had a wide selection of vintage computers and consoles running but there

Have a look at a the trade association http://foodservicepackaging.org.uk/ and also https://www.packagingnews.co.uk/ which covers other packaging but there is a fair amount of foodservice items covered.

I'm currently in the food packaging industry and over the past few years we have been seeing manufacturing move from China to Vietnam and India. Likewise in Europe it’s moving from Poland out to Romania, Greece, and also Turkey. Thes

The Roman Empire covered a huge area, including some of the Middle East and North Africa so it’s highly likely that people, objects, and ideas all moved around. They could well have taken inspiration from something seen at one of the outpo

Related to this I recently found out about the origins of an old electrical distribution board under the stairs in my parents house, this was Southport, NW England. I knew it wasn old and not in use but was never removed. Apparently the ho

This is one of the reasons the "letter of last resort" the British submarines carry must remain secret. It’s the not knowing which helps keep the balance of peace. http://www.bbc.co.uk/newsbeat/article/3

I think there is a flaw in that story. I’ve a few pairs of high quality shoes and yes they do last well and look good but they still need maintenance. I send them back to the manufacturer for a resole when needed, they come back refurbish

There is a fair amount of press in the UK at the moment related to a Westminster VIP paedophile ring where it looks like the "victim", a Carl Beech, may have been making it up.

This is basically the 'ticking bomb' scenario isn’t it. If the question was to keep torturing until “was Mr Bloggs a part of the meeting” is a yes then that is pretty much not valid as the subject will likely say anything to stop

When I was programming I loved working in an office with other teams. The buzz with the other creatives, coders, artists, musicians, really helped me to develop what I was working on. If I was ‘in the zone’ I could be totally focussed for

I try and build little worlds in my head and fly around them, working on adding details as I go. I think it works because it blocks everything out and requires zero physical effort.

Plus most people would ‘double dip’ when using jars so there will be a transfer from the skin into the cream in the pot. If you have a pot which lasts a couple of months that is potentially quite a lot of material transferred from your ski

The standard paper coffee cups are about 92% paper and 8% PE for the waterproof lining. Come compostable cups have a lining made from a form of PLA and are, in theory, compostable under the right commercial conditions. The PE lined cups ca
