2026/07/13

Garden upgrades this summer? Think again—what looks like fun for BBQs and parties could land you in legal hot water.

And guess who’s getting more complaints

2026/07/13

State pensioners with National Insurance numbers ending in 80-99 could see a major financial boost this July—potentially earning nearly $2,000 in just one month thanks to a rare double payment.

Newer pensioners (eligible since April 2016) get a higher weekly rate, but may miss out on legacy benefits. If your NI number falls in that range, watch your bank account—this

If you’re in the north of England, fly from Scotland (Edinburgh or Glasgow) after Scottish schools return but before English ones—prices plummet. Just factor in the trip to Scotland.
