Birmingham: The city that gave us Cat Deeley, Cadbury’s chocolate and, erm, heavy metal pioneers Black Sabbath. Thanks to the University of Birmingham’s Equal Parenting Project, this fine Midlands city has also given us the Fathers in the Workplace Toolkit, a free resrource that employers can use to make their organisation more dad-friendly.
Greetings and welcome to Zero Waste Week 2020 which runs from today until 11 September. This year’s campaign is focused on food waste and I’ve been keeping an audit of the food my family of four has wasted over the past seven days. Environmentalists and voyeurs can rejoice as I shall now reveal the results!

News alert! I am planning to sit the maths GCSE this November. It’s something I have been talking about for a couple of years but at long last I am doing something about it, addressing this open wound left over from my school days.
