There's an interesting story about a elderly Jewish woman who was asked to move from her aeroplane seat because an ultra-orthodox man thought it was 'dangerous' to sit near a woman. She is seeking compensation of around £9000, but her main aim is to stop the airline doing it again.
I didn't realise it was dangerous to sit near a woman, so I'll be very careful who I sit near in the future.
I hope she gets the compensation though.
The Green Alliance have produced a report that shows which county produces the most green energy. The newspaper headline is 'East Riding best for Wind, Cornwall for Solar'. What this seems to imply is that the East riding is the windiest and Cornwall is the sunniest, but in actual fact it is purely the mount of megawatts produced per county. So, because the East Riding has one of the lagest off-shore windfarm in the conveniently shallow North Sea, it is not a surprise that it is producing the most wind power. Quite a pointless headline.
