Nottingdale Cafe - review

Charles Dickens once wrote that Notting Dale was "a plague spot, scarcely equalled for its insalubrity by any other in London". Known as the Potteries and Piggeries, the mid-19th century saw it inhabited by Romany gypsies who crowded into this once boggy marsh. Today their ancestors reside nearby under the Westway and have become TV stars, leaving the dale to be invaded by the denizens of Planets Pop and Fashion.

Why are children so fat? Check their morning cereal

The foodies on Mumsnet call it crack for kids. Krave is the latest offering from Kellogg's to persuade children to eat a breakfast that is 30 per cent pure sugar. The TV ads feature bouncing cereal shells gobbling up chocolate, while the packets entice you to play Krave Krusaders on Facebook. Children love it.

Not all women want to break the glass ceiling

The glass ceiling. I wish they would stop bashing it over women's heads. It's a patronising metaphor that's been bandied around for more than 30 years, and yesterday yet another predictable report emerged from Friends Life, a financial services group, telling us we will be prevented from "climbing to the upper rungs of the corporate ladder" for at least another decade.

First find the funds, then we can find a cure

Anyone know any billionaires? I'd love to meet Lakshmi Mittal ..." London mother Sharmila Nikapota was not joking last week when she made a clarion call to London's super-rich at the Everyman Cinema to find a cure for her eight-year-old daughter Sohana's rare skin condition.

Beach life in Miami

A couple of miles offshore, three gargantuan passenger liners, filled to the gunnels with Caribbean-bound holiday makers, steer their way out of Miami waters and into the leaden skies of the Atlantic. From our vantage point, 20 storeys up in the three-bedroom penthouse of the W Hotel South Beach, we inhabit a very different world.
