Lentil as Anything
A little gloss has been rubbed off the image of the socially conscious restaurant, Lentil as Anything, as it goes out of business by the end of February amid deep financial problems and allegations of mismanagement.

As the automotive industry accelerates towards the modern electric-car era, the question remains whether a sporty petrol-powered vehicle such as the Mazda MX-5 will still exist...
Save the koala
Australia is now on the brink of losing both the Great Barrier Reef and the koala, an utterly shameful example of our stewardship of this continent and its creatures since European settlement. Australia has the worst record of mammalian extinction on earth, and the rate of habitat loss and extinction...
747
With many commercial jets grounded due to the massive drop in air travel, it looks like the world's fleet of Boeing 747 passenger aircraft is now being retired. It has been a slow death for the "Queen of the skies", as airlines switch to buying medium-sized twin-engine planes instead, such...

Paying the price
I sometimes can't understand why getting a suitable mobile phone holder for my car is so hard. I have tried so many different types, and none seem to suit my needs.
I am a little particular when putting a phone holder in my car. Due to the small interior size of...
