Berlin for me. Easy train ride into the centre from the airport ( all trains are regular, punctual and cheap) Lots to do, mostly within walking distance. Would recommend the half day group cycle tour to get your bearings. Relatively inexpensive when compared to similar type cities. Try, also to...

Truly depressing that in the world's major superpower and with over 250 million to choose from, Trump and Clinton are the 2 choices

Best article I've read for a long time. Top quality journalism.

I have just finished watching ''The Affair'. Sky Atlantic. 10 episodes. Gripping stuff and tremendous acting. Series 2 is in the autumn. Anybody else see it?

Just watched this on BBC iplayer. Fantastic! A real triumph of the human spirit.

I left Oakmeeds in 1982. It was a decent comprehensive school in those days with strong sports teams. My sister's children go there now and enjoy it. I think the recent Ofsted report will sharpen things up; they need to recruit some more experienced staff, but I think the school is heading in...

By not putting the clocks back at the end of October, we would be able to offer a lot more after school sport. Traditionally, school football, rugby netball matches etc stop between November until well into February because of a lack of daylight. I would have thought that in order to encourage...
