How to eat croissants

    Trust us, this blog was scheduled long before the unpleasantness, but given the amount of confusion that a certain supermarket’s decision to straighten a morning pastry has caused, it is timely (indeed, of great relief to the nation) that How to Eat will now definitively settle what constitutes the perfect croissant. Please do not get too twisted up below the line. Ensure you can prove your point. Flaky, pain-ful arguments will not butter-up your fellow contributors. They will make you look like a cronut. Straight or crescent-shaped? Where else to start but with this utter nontroversy? A PR coup concocted entirely from hot air, Tesco’s announcement that it will now sell only “straight” croissants is almost, but not quite, irrelevant. Straight or diamond-shaped croissants a...

UK house prices growing strongly but affordability and higher supply issues loom

Tourism Promotion: Experts for long-term policy

    The government's plan to make 'Visit Bangladesh Year-2016' programme a success still remains a 'distant dream' as the private sector stakeholders find lack of pragmatic initiatives to attract foreign tourists to Bangladesh, reports UNB. The government, according to private stakeholders, is concentrating more on domestic tourists instead of attracting foreign ones, an idea they find contradictory with the concept of 'Visit Bangladesh'. They suggested a massive campaign on positive Bangladesh in tourist-generating markets with the help of Bangladesh missions abroad, better coordination among ministries concerned and taking effective steps to allure foreign tourists.

George Osborne abandons middle-class pensions raid after backlash

    George Osborne has abandoned plans for a tax raid on the pensions of millions of middle-class workers in his forthcoming Budget amid concerns that it will "damage saving". The Chancellor had been considering plans to abolish higher rate tax relief in a move which Tory MPs had warned cause a "riot" within the Conservative party and damage his leadership ambitions. However he has now dropped the plans from his Budget entirely amid concerns that global economic uncertainty means it is "not the right time" for radical reforms. Other changes, such as a cut in the amount people can put in their pension pots before being hit with penal rate rates of tax, have not been formally ruled out but are understood to be unlikely. The proposals to overhaul pensions had led to a series of r...
