Did you know it’s London Sustainability Weeks? (The unexpected plural because it lasts two weeks.) Well, Londonist did and, ever game for some worthy fun, we went along to the opening event on Sunday in Greenwich Park. The London Green Lifestyle Show stretched right across …

Do you remember the very first episode of The Day Today when Chris Morris interviewed the woman from the jam festival which included celebrity jams from the likes of Glennis Kinnock and Sebastian Coe? Sebastian Coe? I hate Sebastian Coe! £1500 is a pathetic amount …
