A TV advert featuring Lady Penelope's famous car may have driven over a bridge breaking strict weight restrictions. Eagle-eyed residents spotted that the pink Thunderbirds replica motor, which normally tackles super villains, breached the ban on vehicles over three tonnes going over the Grade-I listed Marlow Bridge. The Halifax advert shows Lady Penelope's chauffeur, Parker, driving her across the small but iconic bridge, near High Wycombe in Buckinghamshire, as she berates him for not "tidying the mansion" and "getting her...

Do you ever feel like you need another holiday to recover from your holiday?

We were presented with several forecasts for the future of the UK economy in 2016, all differing slightly in their optimism. There were the gloomy predictions of the Remain campaigners—which led to George Osborne’s infamous ‘punishment budget’, and there were the more cheerful predictions from the Brexitiers. As it turned out, neither party was exactly correct. The post-Brexit economy has not been left in tatters as many thought it would, but it is hardly at its strongest point either. With...

Theresa May is busy today, selling arms to a country that will decapitate people for sorcery and witchcraft and also getting very angry about the National Trust not mentioning the word “Easter” enough, for a day out, where kids run about looking for eggs at a stately home.

The world's largest aircraft has been given a pair of "giant inflatable landing feet" after crashing when it got caught in power lines.

No-one was injured in the accident at Cardington Airfield, Beds., on August 24, but the cockpit was effectively destroyed. A report by The Air Accidents Investigation Branch found the 320ft long airship was flying at an excessive...

An educated vandal has attacked a new £1.25m houses in one of Britain's top university cities - with graffiti in LATIN. The protestor made his mark in an apparent objection at the lack of affordable new for locals in Cambridge, one of the UK's property hotspots. He daubed 'locus in domos loci populum' - in large white letters on four newly-built detached homes - which roughly means 'Local homes for local people'. An estate agents' For Sale sign outside one...
