    Offal - why are less-desirable cuts of meat more expensive?

    When I was growing up in the 50s and 60s, mum bought a lot of offal because it was cheap. Liver, kidneys, tongue and heart. Still have a taste for it if you can find it. Local butcher does have liver and kidneys from time to time and can get heart sometimes. Local Morrisons usually has tongue on...

    Introduction of European Entry-Exit Scheme (EES)

    Departing Arlanda T2 on Monday was a doddle. Border staff just took a Quick Look at my passport, no questions asked, photo and finger prints done and I was on my way in no time at all. Due to the staggered nature of people arriving for the flight, there was no real queueing either.

    Introduction of European Entry-Exit Scheme (EES)

    It would seem not. Taking the selfie for the arrival section was a faff too. Too light, too shady, either too light or too dark, I was smiling….. Eventually it let me skip that bit and finally it was job done. That app is definitely work in progress.

    Introduction of European Entry-Exit Scheme (EES)

    Registered my details on the Travel to Europe app for my arrival in Sweden on Thursday and journey submitted. Went to enter details for departure but when I get to the point of departure section, it doesn’t recognise Arlanda or anywhere else in Sweden for that matter.

    Chasing the Waverley steam special - questions

    Go for one either side of a water stop, that should be doable. Last time I chased steam northbound on the S&C, I did shot one at Selside and shot two just after Appleby. Other places are available but those two worked for me. To try and fit in more, you need the skills of a rally driver and a...

    I wonder how far Argentina would have progressed in the competition had referees dealt properly with their foul play in earlier matches
