But people around the world have ridiculed the 'outdated' marketing campaign on social media and dubbed the...

The only goal of the game came from a combination of two of Hampton's summer recruits, with Taurean Roberts crossing for Max Kretzschmar to glance a header over Jonathan North just before half time. Stones were without several players including two new recruits that were cup-tied. Despite the game being...

Campaigners are calling for the head of a wildlife boss who was actively involved in a hare hunt for a number of years - because he still allows hunting on his land. More than 100,000 people have signed a petition calling on Michael Bax to step down from the Kent Wildlife Trust after it emerged he was actively involved in hunting. He was one of several joint masters of Blean Beagles from 1991 and actively involved until 1995. Mike Bax continued...

Battersea’s new neighbourhood Mexican, Cartel, specialises in hand-pressed tacos, tequila and mezcal. Reassessing all of the moments in life I’d rather forget, tequila has played an integral role in nearly all of them. Teenage recollections of bottom-shelf bottles adorned with synthetic Sombreros, lime wedges and salt almost inspire me to give up the booze, for good.

A terrified woman called in experts after finding a tarantula the "size of her hand" in a cupboard at home -- only to discover it was a PLASTIC TOY. The spooked out unnamed mother spotted the eight-legged creature in the understairs cupboard while cleaning it out. In a panic, she called the RSPCA, who sent an inspector round to her home equipped with gloves and nets - only to shine a light and discover it was plastic. And after telling...

A jab to protect pregnant women's babies against the Zika virus could be on the horizon. Experiments on mice found a single dose of a new vaccine crossed the placenta and protected unborn pups from contracting the disease. While relatively harmless in most people, causing mild fever and joint pains, the effects on pregnant women can be devastating. Last October mums-to-be in Britain were urged to cancel trips to Florida after two UK tourists caught the bug, which can cause...
