.M&S launch scheme with Oxfam International so you can send
a) 2nd hand clothes to charity shop
b) damaged clothes to be recycled. It's free & via post.

🎧📱📣 Genuine question. Why is it *peculiarly* annoying when people play noisy music/videos on their phones in public? Even more so than just a loud conversation?

Is there any science/study analysing this?

It's amazing how quickly the 'speedy grocery' bubble burst. One of the founders of these companies told me the market could be worth $1 trillion.
It turns out, in fact, most people are happy going to the shops. Or waiting a few hours for a delivery

It’s the end of the world as we know it… from my Times Diary column today

The company that eats together stays together -really interesting article by ⁦Harry Wallop⁩

What's a more exciting fashion business? Asos or Next?
A hell of a graph in the (v good) daily Times Business newsletter, showing how share price of wizzy online platform Asos has fallen 94%, while dull – but v consistent – Next has climbed 71% since 2018.

Very much enjoying Jamie Oliver’s new Channel 4 Air Fryer show.
But why is he plating up a chicken curry & rice on a chopping board?! It looks a complete mess.

Boring but very sensible answer to Britain’s false nostalgia
