Apple
The world number four became Britain’s first finalist in the Australian open since David Lloyd in 1977. Of course he didn’t win…but we were hopeful.
Andy Murray
The world number four became Britain’s first finalist in the Australian open since David Lloyd in 1977. Of course he didn’t win…but we were hopeful.
British Bubbly
The Classic Cuvée champagne made in Sussex became the Champion of Worldwide Sparkling Wines, beating well-known French giants such as Bollinger and Louis Roederer. At least one Brit became a champion this week…
Secret Oxford
Yes, Saatchi and Saatchi Facebook groups are getting annoying, but at least this one is useful. Discover hidden coffees, walks and everything else you never knew you didn’t know about Oxford.
Going down:

A Southern California school board has pulled the Merriam-Webster dictionary off its shelves after a parent complained about the entry “oral sex”. If that’s how the kids are getting their kicks these days, what’s the world come to?
