If you pop along to Peter Jones with £55 and a hankering for some coffee you could leave with something in your stomach that has previously been in a much smaller tummy. Oh and you’d have a fiver in change (unless you leave a tip).
That’s right, we’re talking about a £50 cup of coffee. If […]
Please take a moment to watch this video to see the impact that a post office closure has on one small knit local community. The idea of elderly and infirm people traveling to a lay-by is preposterous. And as is pointed out in the film no one seems to be taking into account that a […]
Forget the tipping debate - waiting staff could be obsolete if a new German automated restaurant catches on.
Bagger’s in Nuremberg is being called a “robot restaurant”. It sounds great - ordering food from lifelike androids would surely be an exciting start to any meal - but sadly the ‘robots’ are of the less fun […]
