BBC News | HEALTH | Warning over 'killer sweets' (#)
„A FSA spokesman said: "This is the kind of thing that parents might see and want to use as a stocking filler - so we need to warn them not to. "We know that in other countries, such as Canada, children have died as a result of choking on these." Sticky ingrediant The jellies come in dome-shaped foil-sealed cups that are about the size of individual mini pots of milk or coffee creamer, and can be sold in bags, plastic jars or individually. They can usually be found in corner-shops. The danger comes because children tend to suck out and effectively 'inhale' the sweet, which contains a soft, slippery type jelly with a hard, fruit flavoured gum at the centre, increasing the risk of choking.“

BBC - Coventry and Warwickshire Features - Perfect festive wine
„"It needs to be kept airtight then you can pour it off through a coffee filter - you can't make a mistake, just do it," he said.You can't keep it in a decanter for too long, just one week means it loses a lot of its flavour complexities, so you do really need to have a decent amount of people around.Even though Christmas is now dominated by cream liquers after dinner, Phil urged that whisky should not be forgotten - and there are few things better than a decent single malt.As an after dinner malt, Laphroaig is a top selection (and a nice present, if the family are reading), which starts at £22, and The Glenrothes is another excellent Scotch - the 1989 bottle is particularly recommended.“

I just wanted to try and remind people that there are actually huge opportunities in this part of the world Prince Charles "All businesses in the rural environment are dependent upon each other and so it is particularly important that representative organisations come together to encourage people back." Prince Charles has been visiting businesses in the Brecon Beacons hit by the foot-and-mouth crisis. He visited a riding school, a farm and met members of the Brecon's Trust which was set up to promote the area following the tourism slump.“

„He said Ethiopian government plans to protect three forest fragments have foundered for lack of cash. Arabica beans are so widely used they are the most valuable international commodity after oil. Most of the coffee is grown on plantations outside Ethiopia from a handful of cultivated varieties created from a few individual bushes. But these plantations are at risk from disease, such as the coffee rust that hit Brazil in the 1970s.“
