'But they sell duck eggs!' Waitrose shoppers react to closures
As the supermarket closes another seven stores customers are told their branch of 40 years will become a Lidl

The sign outside Waitrose offers a “sad goodbye” to Bromley residents who have been shopping in its Sundridge Park store for more than 40 years.

The store is closing in the autumn because the supermarket says it “has been unable to find a way to make the shop profitable in the long term”.

The store will become a branch of Lidl, the German discount supermarket chain that, along with Aldi, is expanding aggressively in the UK and shaking up the status quo.

'In my nightmares I'm always in the sea': a year on from the Greek fires
Last summer, fires devastated two coastal towns in Greece, leaving 103 dead. Was the government to blame? Survivors and rescuers look back

It was 6pm when the smoke reached the town of Mati on the east coast of Greece, 18 miles from Athens. The seaside resort was full of holidaymakers in hotels, or visiting their weekend homes. Within an hour, flames had started to engulf the town, turning the sky red.

By 8pm on 23 July 2018, the fire had destroyed Mati and nearby Kokkino Limanaki; it left 103 dead and more than 140 in hospital, many with severe burns. People died in their homes, in their cars, or as they tried to get to the sea. Those who made it dipped below the waves to stay cool as they waited for the coastguard and local fishermen to rescue them. The flames were propelled by gale-force winds, and the heat reached 800C. The next day, officials estimated that about 40,000 pine and olive trees, along with 4,000 homes, had been destroyed.

One year on...

How to disable the email signature in Avast Free Antivirus

Firefox 68 was updated to version 68.0.1 late Thursday, most users should have been updated by now (and probably won't notice any difference).

California city set to ban gendered words like “manhole” & “manpower”
The new ordinance would eliminate the use of masculine and feminine pronouns in the municipal code

As a result of the vote on the proposed ordinance, the word “manhole” would be changed to “maintenance hole” in city documents, the news site Berkeleyside reported. “Human effort” would be substituted for the word “manpower,” and “sorority” or “fraternity” would be changed to “collegiate Greek system residence.”
