The USA were the clear winners and were the only country to reach treble figures in their medal tally. However, one Tory MP may have taken her support for Great Britain a bit...

You can always spot a good hotel by how many amenities it provides. Bars of chocolate that sit adjacent to espresso coffee machines, rolled towel/ waterbottle combinations that greet you in the gym and a plethora of bathroom items that lay invitingly across from the in-built bathroom TV can transform a hotel from simply providing a bed in a room to being a haven of ultimate tranquillity. The Arch, a boutique hotel in the heart of London, certainly qualifies in the...

In a move that some people might find sensible and others might find slightly over the top, Germans have been asked to ensure they have enough essential supplies to keep them alive at home if there was ever an extreme terror attack. They have been told to buy enough water for five days and food for ten. One would assume these emergency rations would only be used in the case of a natural catastrophe or terror attack.

Donald Trump has more psychopathic traits than Adolf Hitler and fell within a whisper of Henry VIII on the psychometric scale.

Yet what with nearby Brixton unexpectedly becoming the place to eat, with Clapham not far behind, it was only a matter of time before the surrounding areas would begin to follow suit.
