DRIVERS have been warned not to rely on supermarkets to have the cheapest fuel, despite retailers cutting their prices. The average price of petrol fell in July by nearly 9p to 182.9p a litre, according to the RAC . Almost £5 has been shaved off the cost of a 55-litre tank of petrol - down from £105.29 down to £100.48. While diesel came down by almost 7p a litre - from 199.04p at the start of the month to 192.38 by the end of July. But the driving experts say the fall in prices was lead by independent retailers, rather than the major supermarkets. The RAC say the big four major supermarkets - Tesco , Asda , Morrisons and Sainsbury's - should be cutting their prices much further.

On the day she disappeared in November 2017, teenager Gaia Pope had knocked on the door of the pensioner she had come to regard as her second grandmother. Rosemary Dinch used to collect Gaia and her twin sister, Maya, from their primary school in Swanage, Dorset, along with her grandson, Nathan. During the summer holidays she would take the children on trips to nearby Poole Park, buy them ice creams and watch over them while they played. But the moment she opened the door to 19-year-old Gaia on Tuesday, November 7, 2017, marked the beginning of a hellish ordeal for the frail 71-year-old and her family. For when Gaia went missing later that day — to be found, dead from hypothermia, on a remote clifftop 11 days later — Rosemary, her son, Paul Elsey, and grandson, Nathan Elsey, suddenly found themselves at the epicentre of Dorset Police's botched investigation. The events which followed were traumatic indeed. Hours of questioning, homes ransacked, humiliating and intimate … [Read more...] about Tragedy of the innocent grandmother driven to an early death after being wrongly accused over missing teenager Gaia Pope

Hidden first dates on the banks of the river Seine, proposals in front of the Eiffel Tower, couples kissing after attaching an engraved padlock on the love lock bridge – Paris oozes romance. Roaming the streets of the French capital, it’s easy to understand why they call it the city of love, and it’s even easier to understand why anyone without a romantic partner might be unwilling to visit. But visiting Paris with your best friend is the perfect act of defiance against the city’s idealised stereotypes – which often leave people disappointed a la ‘Paris Syndrome’ . And, anyway, who said friendship can’t be romantic?

Amanda Cropp is a senior business journalist with experience covering tourism. OPINION: The $24.50 plate of undercooked poached eggs, with partially thawed slices of frozen avocado and inedible hollandaise really got me going. Having to clean up someone else’s toothpaste spit off the peeling varnish of a vanity unit in a freezing hotel room did not please me much either. Having covered the tourism industry for decades, including the last two years under Covid-19, I am conscious of the pressures operators face, and under the circumstances, I’m prepared to cut them some slack if service is a bit ropey. But there is no excuse for poor overpriced food or under-heated less-than-clean accommodation, and I’m not at all sure overseas visitors who have paid thousands of dollars to fly here will be prepared to wear that if things don’t improve before the tourist season really kicks off in spring.

People who live in Kenilworth, Southdowns and other pockets of south Baton Rouge grappled Tuesday with wanting to keep their neighborhoods quiet and pedestrian-friendly but also looking to fight fewer traffic jams and find better access to the interstate highways. The conundrum was at the heart of the discussion Tuesday when Mayor-President Sharon Weston Broome and her staff pitched her proposed Better Transportation and Roads tax to a crowd of more than 50 at St. Aloysius Catholic Church. The East Baton Rouge Parish Metro Council is expected to vote Sept. 13 on whether to place the 5-mill property tax proposal on ballots in November, and Broome is holding public meetings in each Metro Council district until then as she tries to rally support around her first major tax initiative as mayor-president. College and Lee drives — regularly traveled thoroughfares for most in the district — are two of the roads with the highest car wreck tallies in the parish, based on statistics the … [Read more...] about Residents question if proposed Baton Rouge roads tax can improve traffic without ruining quiet neighborhoods

The internet has backed a worker who refused to show their "power-trippy" recruiter around their room during a Zoom interview, saying it's a "huge invasion of privacy ." In a post shared on Reddit on Sunday, the worker, who goes by the username u/nuestl explained that they were interviewing for a role in a "fast-paced environment," and the interview was going well, when all of a sudden the interviewer asked u/nuestl to show their room. "The room wasn't in a state that I was comfortable showing, and I was shocked that this was even being requested," said the poster. When they asked the recruiter the nature of this request, she answered saying that it's a "role that requires a lot of organization and time management, and 'you can tell a lot about a person from the way their room looks.'" The worker continued: "I suck under pressure so I fumbled a bit, and the interviewer then was like 'it's fine if you're not comfortable with that' and we moved on. But I just can't stop … [Read more...] about Anger as recruiter asks to “show her around the room” during Zoom interview
