If you've got a holiday booked in Greece you need to ensure you get the PLF completed accurately and submitted in good time. And then hope.

British man paid $10,000 a year to be official 'wizard' for New Zealand city
Ian Brackenbury Channell also been recognised as 'living work of art'

A British man has been paid £8,000 a year since 1998 to be the official wizard of the city of Christchurch in New Zealand.

Ian Brackenbury Channell, who goes by the simple name of The Wizard, has been a regular sight in the South Island city for decades since he arrived in the 1970s.

He spends most of his time in the city’s main square in front of the cathedral dressed in long dark robes and a pointed hat, heavily bearded and carrying a staff.

But the resemblance to Gandalf from the Lord of the Rings films, which were shot in New Zealand, is coincidental and Mr Channell insists his role is much more than just amusing tourists.

Greek islands get midnight curfew for restaurants and bars as coronavirus cases rise

Bars and restaurants in Mykonos, Santorini, Corfu, Rhodes, Zante and Crete will be closed from midnight until 7am, according to the Greek government.

Along with the cities of Thessaloniki, Larissa, Volos and Katerini, also affected by the curfew, this will be in place from today until August 23.

The new measures have been modelled on the island of Poros near Athens, where masks must be worn at all times and entertainment venues, including bars and restaurants, close by 11pm, after a surge in cases was reported.

Chickens at farms supplying Tesco, Ocado and McDonald’s made to die of thirst or had necks crushed
Exclusive: Undercover footage also reveals birds deemed unprofitable at Red Tractor-backed business killed painfully by the neck

‘Unprofitable’ chicks at a farm supplying Tesco, Ocado and McDonald’s were deliberately deprived of water and left to die of dehydration, an undercover investigation has found.

Secret filming also shows how other baby birds deemed too small to be worth raising had their necks crushed or snapped by workers, causing a painful death.

Some were left to die because they were too weak to feed themselves, it was claimed.
