New research warns that infants under four weeks shouldn't travel in car seats for more than 30 minutes.

It follows a study at Swindon's Great Western Hospital which reveals that putting babies in an upright position might cause breathing difficulties.

'Crazy' to say Facebook helped Trump win - Zuckerberg

Facing criticism that fake news on Facebook aided the rise of Donald Trump, founder Mark Zuckerberg has strongly defended his network.

Earlier this year, Facebook was accused of being anti-Trump after it was alleged its human moderators were favouring liberal stories appearing in people's "trending stories" box.

While denying that claim, the site did sack its human team, instead relying solely on an algorithm to determine which stories were shown to be most popular.

As a consequence, stories which were later proved entirely false appeared on the timelines of a large number of users.

Greek food truck brightens up lunchtime for London’s office workers

It’s 11.30 a.m. and a light drizzle is falling in London’s Paddington district. The Kalimera food truck, named after the Greek word for “good morning,” has just opened and a line is already forming of smartly dressed businessmen, bankers and executives.

What did it take to launch the business in terms of red tape?

“Half and hour on the Internet and 15 pounds. Maybe the Greek state has something to learn here.”

Why is it that so much is written about Farrage?  The only fact that I have seen about this man that is significant is that he is picking up an extra £1,000 because the £ has fallen so far post referendum.  A man who claims to hate the EU doesn't mind taking it's money.  He is a two faced, pompous, self important ignoramus who should slip back into the mire that he crawled out of.

He's also said to want a job as US ambassador to the EU.  Can't get enough of it....?!  ;)

Not to mention posing in front of Trump's gold and diamond front door, said by the Daily Mail (so must be true)to be worth $91 million.
