Burnt toast could expose people to more toxic air than if they were standing near a busy road, and cooking a Sunday roast can raise pollution levels to above those in city centres, research suggests.
Experts found pollutant levels after cooking a roast turkey – with trimmings – were 13 times higher than those in central London.
And toasting two slices of bread caused twice as much air pollution as is seen in the city for 15 to 20 minutes – meaning three times the World Health Organisation’s safety limit.
Experts issued a public warning to families to open windows and turn on extractor fans to avoid exposure to dangerous levels of toxic airborne particles – which can trigger breathing problems and pose risks to the heart and circulation.

RUTH SUNDERLAND: Honda's decision shows the car industry has stalled
https://mol.im/a/6719089

Honda’s decision to shut down its plant in Swindon after 30 years as a major local employer may not be directly motivated by Brexit but by wider problems in global car manufacturing.
However, yesterday’s move by the Japanese carmaker could hardly have come at a worse time.
No one in the industry doubts that uncertainty over Brexit is having a chilling effect on production. Fears surrounding our departure helped to halve fresh investment in the sector last year, according to the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders.

In Germany, a country synonymous with the production of sleek, super-reliable driving machines sold worldwide, the decline in the auto industry is actually stalling the economy.
Sleek yes, super reliable....hmmm?
