• Adding power to y'r pedal

• The best of British beef

  THE news that BSE has been confirmed in a dairy cow in the USA, following an earlier BSE finding in Canada, must have sent shivers of apprehension down the spines of beef producers in places as far a field as Chile, Africa and Australia because, until recently, this dreadful disease had supposedly been confined to Great Britain and Europe and was of no concern to the rest of the world.

  WRITERS of children's fiction have obviously not been to school for a while: from Enid Blyton to J K Rowling, they all seem to think going back to school is a huge treat. Why? With term time starting yet again, it puzzles me. Doesn't everyone else hate having to go back too? I hate the end of Christmas. The tree comes down, it's suddenly considered unacceptable to have half a tin of Celebrations for dinner and, worst of all, it's the joy of going back to school. read more
