Endemol has a lot to answer for in that regard.  cussing:

Yes they made a mistake but Conde Nast had the class to admit it and apologise properly and add a little humility

I'd say  happ096 to them

We all make mistakes, it's how we react to them that matters
Well, whatever, nevermind

Charged with using threatening or abusive behaviour for calling someone pet?? Are you fucking kidding me? He's from County Durham, that term is a friendly address that has been a part of the culture for bloody decades and is no more abusive or threatening than calling someone mate, bud or pal.  Banghead

If his lawyer has any sense then they will go on the warpath over cultural discrimination aimed at Yorkshire and the north of England.  cussing:

Read it again.  'After' is not the same as 'because of'

I could say the Yorkshire Ripper was charged with murder after having a cup of tea but then I don't descend to Daily Mail levels

Well, whatever, nevermind

Not sure you're right there Steve.  rubschin:

You could say the Yorkshire Ripper was charged with murder after attacking and killing a number of women. Not perfect grammar but 'after' can be used as a conjunction. (I think that's right but I'm sure Nick will tell me if I'm not)

Maybe, but we'll have to wait for the trial.

Petrol prices to reach €2 per litre

Quote
In comments to Astra Radio, the spokesperson for the Cyprus Petrol Station Owners, Christodoulos Christodoulou, said petrol prices would increase by at least 20 cents per litre within the next two weeks.

He said a petrol company on Tuesday has already pushed up prices of 95 Octane petrol by 4 euro cents and Octane 98 petrol by 8 cents.

According to Christodoulou, following the new increases, the petrol stations under the franchise are now selling 95 octane petro at €1. 73 per litre and 98 Octane petrol at €1. 80 per litre.

Christodoulou predicts that prices for both petrol and diesel will be around €2 per litre in the next couple of weeks.

I wonder if the price is coming down...?  rubschin:
