Good article that really sums up why so many people are angry that Corp of London decided to hand over the Heath cafes to avocado toast selling chain www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

I’m sick of avocado toast – I just want to keep my local, untrendy cafe | Rhiannon Lucy Cosslett

Hampstead Heath cafe where you can buy kids lunch for £5.50. That’s thanks to d’Auria family who’ve run it for 44 years. They also serve great pasta for adults- from about £10. The chain that is due to take over doesn’t offer a kids menu…and charge £5.90 just for a portion of chips.

www.bigissue.com/news/childho... It’s hard to overstate how important this is. Care records are someone’s personal history: who their family are, why they were taken into care..what actually happened. Shocking that it can take care leavers years to get these (sometimes incomplete) records.

Councils told to give care leavers better access to childhood records

Thousands who grew up in the care system still can’t access their childhood records. The ICO’s new campaign aims to change that.

Yesterday was my last day on BBC staff after 32 years’ continuous service. I’ve spent most of the time as a reporter on the Today Programme- but this was my first full time reporting job, as BBC Warsaw Correspondent- 1996! I’ll continue reporting freelance for the BBC and I have other projects too.
