Don't let our cynical city dweller persona fool you. Behind the scenes, us Glitterditchers are busy administering Baby Bio to the window boxes and recycling the empties: our local bottle bank thanks us. Oh yes. We heart green, which is why we were delighted to hear that an alpine-style… read more…

In a move that is as surprising as sunrise and inevitable as gravity, some people have decided to hold a protest against the booze ban. Glitterditch enjoys a good piss-up as much as the next ASBO-grabbing alkie, but we're thinking that this idea is pretty ridiculous. We've already made… read more…

As I stood at the bus stop in the wazzing rain this morning, retaining moisture like a damp spaniel, the mantra, 'Hail a cab, you fool!' attempted to make inroads into my iron will. But maintaining a granite resistance to the voice of transport temptation was surprisingly easy because,… read more…
