Unconfirmed but sounds as though a group of Chinese investors are putting money into expanding the Corfu seaplane service down to the other Ionian islands... when the bureaucracy gets sorted...

The president of the Association of Hellenic Tourism Enterprises (SETE), Andreas Andreadis, says that bookings for the 2016 season have so far shown an increase of about 5 percent from last year. However, developments on an international level suggest that the growth rate may soon rise on the back of last-minute bookings.

Sainsbury's Bank web pages stuck on crappy 20th century crypto

The UK supermarket-owned bank’s "secure" site rates an “F” in tests using the industry standard Qualys’ SSL Labs service – chiefly because of the support for protocols security experts reckon are well past their sell-by date.

In response to queries from El Reg, Sainsbury's Bank stated that customers should have no concern because multiple layers of security make the site safe.

They have some cracking newspapers in Somerset, oo-ar.  The duck should have been on the scrumpy really.  No doubt he'll be up before the beak for ruffling townsfolk's feathers.  The phantom yoghurt flinger will also be milking the publicity.
