Working beside a pizza oven, gas stoves and hot cooking oil? I guess the concern is "if it catches fire, you're dead" but it's still an issue... Edit: small spaces and hot cooking oil, youch - have the restaurants emplo

A related article [1] suggests there's "room for six or seven chefs" which sounds like a rather more cramped setup than three. One wonders, given they don't seem to have bothered with planning permission, whether any con

To be fair, "checked by the FSA" isn't worth much - they also missed the Two Sisters chicken relabelling "scandal" [1] (not that they could reasonably be expected to observe that they met standards 24/7 anyway)

David Cameron? It's perhaps fair to say he called the referendum expecting to win, continue his political career and quell the infighting within the Tory party and achieved none of those. While Madrid's handling of the more recent

When it comes to Afghan intervention, the UK has some previous [1-3]. The part that seems to be frequently missed in the analysis of military spending is that most of the top-ranking countries have a significant domestic arms industry which
