New BBC weather site launched 10:22am on 06 Feb 2009 Hmm. It's OK and quite pretty, but takes some getting used to. I quite liked the fact that you could previously see high and low temperatures at a glance. Took quite a lot of clicking about to realise that low temps for the next 4 days would only appear in the "night weather" bit.
Milking it 12:32pm on 05 Aug 2008 I had milk delivered for several years, and as an American ex-pat found it charming, despite the fact that the milk seemed to go off far quicker than supermarket milk. I finally had to let go of the tradition when every other delivery was nicked by some lout coming home from the pub thinking it was hilarious to deny me my morning coffee.

Had the deliveries been in the early morning rather than just after midnight each night, both situations might have been avoided I think.
Basics of Britain 10:57pm on 01 Jul 2008 I think there's a bit of confusion here. The government did not conduct this study, the Joseph Rowntree Foundation did - an independent research organisation. They didn't proscribe what people should consider luxuries, but asked people what they thought. If people would take the time to find out, they'd learn that the main research was based in a range of towns and cities in the Midlands: Northampton, Derby, Kidderminster, Leicester and Loughborough. Notice that London is not in the list. People simply love to whinge and complain. Bothering to check the facts would make that so much more difficult, I guess.
