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."

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.“

BBC News | HEALTH | Coffee linked to arthritis
„The findings are published in the latest issue of the medical journal Annals of the Rheumatic Diseases. But a spokeswoman from the Arthritis Research Campaign said: "When you consider that rheumatoid arthritis is a complex disease with a large genetic element, and that environmental and genetic factors interact to play a part in its development, to link the disease with coffee consumption is rather simplistic." A spokesman from the Coffee News Information Service, which represents the coffee industry, said the study had shown an association but not a cause and effect relationship. "Most importantly when the data was collected 20 years ago, very strong boiled coffee was heavily consumed in Scandinavia, and does not represent normal UK consumption, which is primarily of the instant variety. "Coffee drinkers should rest assured that coffee consumption in moderation is perfectly safe."“

Dr Simon Thom of St Mary's Hospital in London said coffee had a small effect on blood pressure compared to other foods like salt.“
