Is your phone making you fat?

My phone beeped and a Watsapp message flashed up on my screen as I walked into the gym. “What time are we meeting?” I sighed and stuffed the phone back into my pocket. I’ll reply when I’ve finished my session. But two seconds later my phone buzzed again with a new message, ‘oi read but no reply, what time are we meeting?’ This is the problem with Watsapp and smartphones in general.

Slow Fashion: Ethically responsible clothing that you would LOVE to wear

Free range meat – check. Against animal tested products – check. Ethical sustainable clothing – err…… but Primark!!!  This is awkward. I am just as guilty as most people who try and make the effort to live a more ethical life; I have gaping blind spots.  It appears I care more about animal welfare than people.  I do get blinded by a bargain and have dismissed organic, sustainable, and ethical clothing as too expensive, weirdly patterned or based on the fear that I...

Britain’s Middle Class Closer To The Poor Than The Rich

A new report has revealed that the standard of living of Britain's middle class is edging closer to that of the poor rather than the rich.
