How sites like these are managing to continue given the likes of Facebook, where people can actually exchange views and get to know each other with no emphasis on dating, is a mystery. This one says &#8220;Find love or [...]]]></description>

One can only hope the message of the adverts is supposed to be ironic &#8211; especially the one saying &#8220;Perfection&#8221; &#8211; but either way I will never buy Gordon&#8217;s gin again and I urge you not to either.

England does not go smoke-free on July 1st, it just becomes illegal to smoke inside public buildings and vehicles &#8211; and about time too. In fact the NHS encourages people to go outside to smoke instead. But people smoking outside are the biggest problem. It&#8217;s hard to avoid their second-hand [...]]]></description>
