Let’s get a couple of minor niggles out of the way first.
Niggle number one: Our starters were delivered to the wrong table, where a pair of casually-dressed young chaps gleefully accepted them, despite the fact the food wasn’t what they ordered.
You’d be right to expect that annoyed me no end but I, in fact, forgave the minor misdemeanour, because one of the recipients was my old mate, Radio Exe DJ Ashley Jeary, who looks like he could do with a good meal, or two, or maybe three.
Niggle number two: After waiting 20 minutes for our starter, the wrong soup was served...
An action plan to help reduce the amount of food waste in Devon was endorsed by Devon County Council's ruling Cabinet.
It follows a Food Waste Spotlight Review being commissioned by Devon County Council’s Corporate, Infrastructure and Regulatory Services Scrutiny Commitee earlier this year.
Representatives from food charities, councils and anaerobic digestion plants attended the review to discuss why food is wasted, how to reduce it and ways to improve its collection.
Almost a third of all food purchased in Devon is thrown away, either by residents or businesses,...

The eerie atmosphere lingered above the crowd like ominous fog suddenly appearing in a thriller movie. The crowd were born ready, but were the security guards? We were soon to find out.
It's Friday the 11th of November and The Great Hall in Exeter held the gig of the year, feeding us the reckless punk-duo, Slaves. Laurie Vincent and Isaac Holman both from Kent, changed the norm and brought punk back to our charts in 2014. Formed in 2012 the duo signed to Virgin EMI in 2014 releasing their most popular song ‘The Hunter’ that November.
I was lucky enough to enjoy a night at the Plymouth Pavilions on Saturday night. I am a huge Bastille fan especially after seeing them live at Radio 1s Big Weekend at Powderham Castle this summer. Their Wild World tour encompasses a gruelling schedule finshing in May 2017 with several dates in the United States.
There were two acts supporting Bastille on Saturday in Plymouth – Childcare and Rationale. We were in the queue when Childcare performed but were really impressed with Rationale.
Rationale (formerly known as Tinashe Fazakerley) was born 1984 in Harare, Zimbabwe in...
Complicated and extensive Terms and Conditions (T&Cs) that customers face, or all too often choose to ignore, are being reviewed by the government.
In September 2015, Which? carried out research that looked at the terms and conditions for car and travel insurance. Some of the longest were over 38,000 words, longer than Shakespeare’s ‘Hamlet’ and ‘Romeo and Juliet’. The Department for Business, Innovation and Skills (BIS) is asking consumers who have experienced issues when consulting their terms and conditions to respond to the Call for Evidence.
Calling the tour 'out of the whirlwind' is as an apt description of an evening with 'Ireland's number one comedian', Tommy Tiernan, as you could possibly get.
The experience leaves you ruffled, refreshed and somehow cleansed but ultimately rewarded in the humour stakes for hearing him out and following his acerbic outpouring that resonates strongly with the Devon crowd.
Tommy Tiernan's appearance at Exeter's Corn Exchange, as part of the mostly excellent LOL Festival which is now it it's 7th year, transported the audience...

Police and Crime Commissioner Tony Hogg has spoken of his delight after Policing Minister Mike Penning withdrew the Home Office review into the police funding formula. In answer to a question by MP Keith Vaz, Mr Penning said the withdrawal came as a direct result of the mistakes discovered by the Devon and Cornwall OPCC and highlighted in the media last week. “The funding formula was descending into chaos, and the Government’s decision to delay is the right one,” said Mr Hogg. “My excellent team has worked on the Government’s proposals for the past five months. They have submitted two...
