A woman who fed her four-year-old half-sister a vegetarian pizza while babysitting has been left baffled after the tot's mum claimed she was being disrespectful - because the youngster should only be eating vegan dishes. Posting her story on Reddit , the woman explained her half-sister is the daughter of her father and his current wife - who is the woman's step-mum - and claimed the tot's mum is "extremely health-conscious", and will only feed her daughter food that is both vegan and organic.

More than half of women would rather suffer in silence with a female health condition at work than tell their employer, a study has found. A poll of 2,000 adults, who are biologically female, found six in 10 would not feel comfortable discussing topics such as menstrual cramps, smear tests, breast examinations, or menopause with a manager. The main reasons for staying quiet include feeling awkward and uncomfortable (40%), being embarrassed (36%), and a fear of being portrayed as a slacker to colleagues (22%). And it’s not just in the workplace where women are keeping tight-lipped – as a quarter of the 2,000 women polled won’t even discuss post-pregnancy issues with family or friends. The study was commissioned by health and dental plan provider Simplyhealth, to spark one million “comfortable conversations” about female health during Women’s Health Month with its campaign #comfyconvos . Only one in 10 women going through menopause have asked their boss for time off due to … [Read more...] about Over half of women suffer in silence with female health struggles rather than tell boss

Several former towns around the UK are whipping out the bunting today after finally being granted city status ahead of The Queen's Platinum Jubilee. Residents of the new cities are making the most of their platform to shout about why they live in the best place in the UK - and they make some compelling arguments. While Wrexham locals can boast their football club is owned by two Hollywood stars (Rob McElhenny and Ryan Reynolds), Doncaster dwellers can say they get to walk past the stunning Doncaster Minster Cathedral every day. But one of the newest cities is a place that is often overlooked by the rest of the country - and sometimes, it's just the butt of mean jokes. The modern metropolis of Milton Keynes is home to around 270,000 people, most of whom are thrilled that their home is now recognised as a city.
