Landlines are officially on their way to becoming redundant with a fifth of the population estimating that their home will be landline-free within two years, if not sooner. Over half of those in London consider the landline a ‘redundant’ piece of technology, rising to seven in ten among 18-24 year olds with sixty per cent of the nation saying they only keep a landline around because they need it for their broadband connection, the Relish study revealed.

David Davies, our esteemed Brexit Minister, has been accused of not really having any idea what Brexit means. This will come as no surprise to many Remain, and, if they are honest with themselves, some Leave voters as well.

Aarhus is located on the eastern coast of Jutland, a relatively unvisited pocket of northern Europe for world travellers.
