The breath taking, if arid, sights of the Parque Natural Sierra de las Nieves and its empty roads, rather than an asphyxiated English motorway.

Crystal Palace groundsman Bruce Elliott has been spraying the pitch with garlic liquid that's 100 times more pungent than normal garlic.

Shaminder Singh, 31, started his project ten months ago and has spent 40 hours a WEEK patiently cutting and gluing tens of thousands of toothpicks. The forklift driver bought the teeny pieces of wood from dozens of supermarkets to get the perfect mix of colours for the replica he built in his bedroom. His incredible model of the world's most famous...

Organisers have banned "Oh Jeremy Corbyn" chants ahead of the tournament, which gets underway today. After hearing the chant take over the Glastonbury Festival and even filter into England cricket games the conservative All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club have put in place preventative measures to ensure Corbynistas don't upset the regulars.
