Having rained all day and with just 20 minutes prior to the first guests arriving at 6pm, the sun finally came out. They decided it was time to be brave and create a new cocktail drink for the new summer conditions and moved the whole party outside into our garden. Our Midsummer Muddle Cocktail was born, and what a drinks party it was!

Today we\u2019d like to share with you how to wash your exterior siding and windows with ease with a simple spray on and rinse clean formula.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Rejuvenate Outdoor Window &amp; Surface Cleaner<br \/>\nDirty windows and siding are no problem when you use Rejuvenate\u2019s\u00ae Outdoor Widow &amp; Surface Cleaner.

There are plenty of apps designed to boost literacy, mathematical and motor skills in children. It\u2019s great to see the vast majority of parents recognise the importance of familiarising kids with gadgets at a young age.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\u201cParents\u2019 concerns about their children being behind their peers if denied access to technology shows that they understand how important it is for their children to be able to interact with the latest gadgets, as school learning and tests become more technology based.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Parents believe their children should be of high school age (11 years old) before they own their own smartphone or tablet with internet capability.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">LaptopsDirect.co.uk is the UK\u2019s largest online laptop specialist, selling a wide range of new and refurbished laptops from leading brands, as well as a wide range of other lifestyle gadgets.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">For more information, visit www.laptopsdirect.co.uk<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">Almost half of football fans would avoid scheduling their wedding day on match day<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-343405\" src=\"http:\/\/www.intouchrugby.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/fan.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"615\" height=\"924\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.intouchrugby.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/fan.jpg 615w, https:\/\/www.intouchrugby.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/fan-200x300.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 615px) 100vw, 615px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Power management company, Eaton, reveals the lengths fans will go to in order to watch their team, with 39% of Brits admitting they would only miss a match on TV if a power cut forced them to<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">London, UK, 10 August 2017 \u2013 Almost half (41%) of British football fans wouldn\u2019t schedule their wedding day on a match day, reveals power management company Eaton, and a third (35%) would prioritise catching the game over going on holiday.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">The results from the survey of 2,000 football fans \u2013 commissioned by Eaton to celebrate its partnership with Manchester City Football Club \u2013 demonstrates the loyalty fans feel to their football team and how much of a priority keeping up-to-date with it is to their lives.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">In fact, over a third (39%) admit the only reason they would miss a football match on TV would be due to a power cut giving them no choice in the matter. The unfortunate reality is that sometimes these loyal fans don\u2019t get a choice \u2013 one in 10 fans reported that a power cut, affecting their home and surrounding area, has led to them missing a match. Eaton has developed xStorage Home, which is available for pre-order now, to provide homes with electrical energy in the event of power cuts \u2013 powering lights and even a TV and broadband router to retain power if needed.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Pedro de la Horra Calomarde, Segment Manager Residential Buildings EMEA, from Eaton responded to the research:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\u201cIt\u2019s surprising to learn how many fans have missed a game due to power cuts. We partnered with Manchester City to share best practice on how the use of power management solutions highlight the benefits of improved quality of life and to the environment. By developing battery storage solutions, such as xStorage Home, we\u2019re making sure people have a reliable power supply and that there\u2019s back-up in place to avoid outage and mean no one ever misses a match due to power cuts.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Almost a third (30%) of the fans surveyed said they would pay \u00a3100 or more to avoid missing a match. Millennials proved to be the most eager to cough up the cash to overcome any issues preventing them from tuning in, with 80% saying they would pay to ensure they could watch their team play.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">One fan who has gone above and beyond to catch every game is City fan, Sean Riley. Sean, 51 years old from Manchester, has missed just one City match in 28 years, including away games. Sean said: \u201cI started going to matches with my dad in 1974 and have been an ardent City supporter ever since,\u201d says Sean. \u201cFor the past 28 years, I have been very fortunate and privileged to attend every competitive game played by the club, at home, away, and in Europe. The single exception was the CSKA game in Moscow in 2014 which was officially played behind closed doors so no one could attend\u201d. He continues: \u201cMy wife is also a committed fan of the Club, so naturally, we got married outside of the football season, to ensure our big day didn\u2019t clash with any of the fixtures!\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Most fans (72%) put their devotion down to a love for their team and wanting to be with them every step of the way. A quarter (24%) said it\u2019s because they want to be a part of the post-match analysis and 18% admitted they like to know the results because they have a Fantasy Football team.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Martha Newson, cognitive anthropologist at University of Oxford, commented:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\u201cTypically, our families are the people we experience life\u2019s highs and lows with \u2013 and are the people we are most likely to sacrifice ourselves for. In some ways, football clubs and other such groups evoke, and even manage to exaggerate, our evolved tendency for this kin psychology so that we treat other group members like our closest kin. For some football fans, the ritual of the game becomes more important than our most cherished family rituals, like birthday parties and weddings.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">In May 2017, Eaton became Manchester City\u2019s new Official Home Energy Storage Partner in the UK. Eaton signed a multi-year deal with the Club who are committed to lead the way in sustainability.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Eaton, who have more than 100 years of experience in the industry, will share best practice in energy storage to help enhance the Club\u2019s efforts across all its daily operations at the Etihad Stadium and City Football Academy.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">For more information on xStorage Home, please visit: www.eaton.com\/mancity<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">Sema Tosya, Accessory Designer, working with semiprecious natural stones, creating bespoke jewellery commissions.<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-343403\" src=\"http:\/\/www.intouchrugby.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/tet1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"615\" height=\"513\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.intouchrugby.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/tet1.jpg 615w, https:\/\/www.intouchrugby.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/tet1-300x250.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 615px) 100vw, 615px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Having started wishing to explore my creative side by designing jewellery for myself, I soon found that friends were placing orders for my creations, what started as a hobby soon developed into a business, my designs progressing, growing, taking shape, evolving.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Inspiration comes to me from my surroundings, in nature far and wide, woodland, beaches, flora, fauna, even fabrics luxurious silks, lace, crisp cottons, linens of the world famous Grand Bazaar, Istanbul as well as ancient and modern crafts.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Every piece of jewellery is as unique as the individual, choose your style from styles on the website :<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">www.xplandirect.com\/sema-s-jewellery-designs<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Lovingly and patiently designed and handmade for you.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">If you do not see what you are looking for, please ask me to customise your style.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Bespoke orders welcome<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">Win Designer Furniture with NOXU Home!<br \/>\nNOXU Home is excited to announce their latest competition, giving you the chance to win \u00a3350 of outstanding designer furniture!<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">www.noxuhome.com<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-343401\" src=\"http:\/\/www.intouchrugby.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/winn.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"615\" height=\"293\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.intouchrugby.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/winn.jpg 615w, https:\/\/www.intouchrugby.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/winn-300x143.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 615px) 100vw, 615px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">NOXU Home is an online furniture destination, with a team of interior design professionals dedicated to bringing you fantastic furniture pieces by independent designers from across Europe.

The resort is 20 minute speed boat ride of Male airport and a boat will be there to collect guests whatever time they arrive so they can be checking in and enjoying the Maldives before their fellow travellers have even left the arrivals lounge!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">A one-island-one-resort concept with luxury villas, world-class experiences, incredible dining choices and wide-ranging facilities, the new destination resort is truly paradise on earth.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">With this in mind, we\u2019ve drafted a list of the 10 things people can do and experience in the Maldives with the time and money saved from not getting a sea plane.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Enjoy 1 Leg-Jet treatment and 1 Kodhipparu Fusion Massage<br \/>\nTry every single one of the Kodhipparu Special cocktails (all 16 of them!)<br \/>\nEach 20 Tropical Fruit Platters from Breeze Bar<br \/>\nTake a Boat Exploration Trip<br \/>\nHave a Windsurfing Lesson and a Jet Ski session<br \/>\nTake a sunset fishing trip (120mins)<br \/>\nLearn to cook Maldivian Curry<br \/>\nSwim with Sea Turtles<br \/>\nThe kids could have been on a crab hunt and race at the Little Explorers club<br \/>\nYou could have read 60 pages of a book laying on the beach<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">For more information, please visit <a href=\"http:\/\/www.parkhotelgroup.com\/en\/maldives\">www.parkhotelgroup.com\/en\/maldives<\/a><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">FlasKap<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-343397\" src=\"http:\/\/www.intouchrugby.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/FK-still-12.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"615\" height=\"346\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.intouchrugby.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/FK-still-12.jpg 615w, https:\/\/www.intouchrugby.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/FK-still-12-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 615px) 100vw, 615px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Outdoor enthusiasts can now mix and transport the perfect cocktail while enjoying outdoor activities. FlasKap is the first ever flask built straight into a tumbler-style lid! It fits securely onto most standard stainless steel \u201cYETI style\u201d tumblers to give you the ability to discreetly enjoy your favorite beverage no matter where you adventure. FlasKap is perfect for outings where drinks may not be served but are always desired.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Founders Cailley and Drew Tonn are outdoor enthusiasts and have been product testing the FlasKap for over a year. Drew Tonn shares, \u201cmy main goal was to have a reservoir with a metered dispensing function. When I achieved that I incorporated other improvements such as a sipping hole large enough for a straw and superior thermal-insulating properties. The built-in flask allows you to make your drink as strong or light as you want. Plus, as your ice melts you can add more to your drink so it doesn\u2019t get watered down. FlasKap also functions as an excellent lid even when not using its enhancer function &#8212; it\u2019s the the only lid you\u2019ll ever need.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">The FlasKap is clear, splash-resistant, dishwasher safe, insulated, and BPA-free. The food grade stainless steel rod and double piston transfer alcohol. The double piston is made of a food grade silicone type material as an overmold. The FlasKap dispense button screws onto the end of the stainless steel rod is made of a tough and reliable plastic.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">The FlasKap is available for pre-order through Kickstarter.

It has an amazing sporting history dating back to the 1900s and, as well as our regular football fixtures and the two Rugby World Cup 2015 matches, we have hosted many major events over the years, from boxing matches to concerts for music legends such as Springsteen and Take That.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\u201cRugby 7s is a fantastic event, providing a great day out for sports fans. I am sure that many Villa fans would want to be there and will be thrilled that Villa Park is playing a role.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\u201cOur players and coaching staff would also welcome the Commonwealth Games in Birmingham. There will be great opportunities to share information in the pursuit of sporting excellence and it would just be fantastic to be part of the event.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\u201cEverybody at Villa Park said that hosting the Rugby World Cup was one of the most fulfilling things we have done for our community. We are a great community based club and it is important that we play our part in delivering the best ever Games in 2022.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\u201cBeing part of Team Birmingham and helping to bring the Commonwealth Games to Birmingham is something we are proud to be doing. This will be another first for Villa and we look forward to playing our role.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\u201cI spent five years managing The Olympic Club for the Sydney 2000 Olympic Games and then seven years on the board of the SECC Hydro Arena, which was a focal point for the Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth Games. I have seen multi-sport events close up and know the amazing effect they can have and the positive impact they can bring to a host city.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\u201cIt is fantastic to be part of Birmingham\u2019s Bid and with the role of the Commonwealth likely to become more important for Britain going forward, we will do all we can to bring the Games here.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\u201cBring it on!\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Villa players agree and cannot wait to see the Games come to Birmingham.

It is both a traditional and iconic arena.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\u201cEmerging from the tunnel and walking out into a wall of noise from all four stands is an uplifting experience. The Rugby 7s teams will have an incredible experience playing at Villa Park during Birmingham 2022 so let\u2019s back the bid. \u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">James Rodwell is England\u2019s most capped Rugby 7s player of all time. He won a Silver medal at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games in the sport\u2019s inaugural Games and is a two-times Commonwealth Games player (Delhi 2010, Glasgow 2014). Having studied at University of Birmingham and played for Moseley Rugby Club, Rodwell is championing Birmingham\u2019s bid:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\u201cRugby 7s is one of the most popular events at the Commonwealth Games.

The annual report, covering the period 2016 to 2017, indicate that there are now only 1388 regulated companies providing Claims Management in the UK.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">These companies shared combined revenues of some \u00a3726 million in the year to 30 November 2016. Their activities cover PPI, personal injuries etc. But over the past few years thousands of companies have been struck off or have voluntarily given up. At the peak in 2011 there were 3213 companies active in this sector.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">The number of companies seeking to register for Claims Management is also at an all-time low. Only 107 new applications to become a CM company were made in 2016 and applications were down 47% in the &#8220;personal injury&#8221; sector. Overall, fewer than a quarter of all the 6722 companies registered on the CMR database are still operating.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">The fall in number of companies, and low registration of new companies is due in part to a stricter regulatory environment. Claims Management companies must abide by a range of statutory conditions and comply with conduct rules. During 2016 some 69 companies were shut down by the regulator for non-compliance.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Helen Dewdney, The Complaining Cow consumer champion and author of How to Complain: The Essential Consumer Guide to Getting Refunds, Redress and Results! says she is pleased to see this reduction in claims management companies. &#8220;So often we see companies doing what consumers can easily do themselves. There are plenty of template letters available for the likes of PPI claims and flight delays which people can use to claim 100% of what they are due. The more complicated cases, where you may need help from a third-party, are very rare.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Marcus Williamson, editor of the consumer website http:\/\/CEOemail.com &#8211; which provides contact details for CEOs &#8211; says that it\u2019s not worth losing 20-30% of a claim to a CMC. \u201cIt\u2019s time that people stop wasting money on using Claims Management Companies and take matters into their own hands\u201d, says Williamson, \u201cWhether it\u2019s PPI or flight claims, just write to customer services, demand redress and escalate to the CEO if necessary.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">PPI claims remain high but with a slight decline. The deadline for making PPI claims is August 2019, so it is likely that there will be continued decline in CMCs, as the last remaining PPI claims are made.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">The CMR report cites a &#8220;substantial increase&#8221; in the emergence of CMCs working in the area of holiday illness. There have been recent reports of claims management companies encouraging people to make false claims of illness against holiday companies. The regulator says it has established a team to work with reputable CMCs, tour operators, ABTA and solicitors to clamp down on this behaviour.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Latest CMR report, released on 4 August 2017 https:\/\/www.gov.uk\/government\/collections\/claims-management-regulator-annual-reports<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Delayed flight template letter available from The Complaining Cow website http:\/\/www.thecomplainingcow.co.uk\/airline-claim-compensation-letter-template\/<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">Grilled Zucchini Recipe<\/h3>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">By www.simplynecessaryinc.wordpress.com<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-343140 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/www.intouchrugby.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Grilled-Zucchini.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"236\" height=\"314\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.intouchrugby.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Grilled-Zucchini.jpg 236w, https:\/\/www.intouchrugby.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Grilled-Zucchini-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 236px) 100vw, 236px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Though it is treated like a vegetable, zucchini is a fruit. Zucchini is a summer squash with ancestry in the Americas. &#8220;Zucca&#8221; (the Italian word for pumpkins or squash) was combined with the root &#8220;ina&#8221; (which means little). Zucchini is the plural form. Zucchini is calorie friendly. There are about 21 calories in a one cup serving. It\u2019s a good source of vitamin C. It provides lutein and zeaxanthin, which are good for vision. It is also a source of manganese.

Wasps are a great example to all of us in the local area in the way in which they\u2019ve done that.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\u201cIt was partly that attitude and the club\u2019s innovative approach, led by Derek Richardson at the top, that attracted us to form a partnership by sponsoring Wasps\u2019 End of Season Awards. As well of course as the exciting and positive style of rugby that Wasps play that always makes for an entertaining day at the Ricoh Arena.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">England international, Matt Mullan, also appreciated the support shown by sponsors and supporters alike: \u201cFirstly a big thanks to George Pragnell for putting on such a great show at the End of the Season Awards, which was a fantastic night and certainly the most stylish Awards I\u2019ve attended at the club.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\u201cThere was also a deeper meaning to the evening. I remember watching the video that the Community Foundation showed and you realised just how much is involved and how many people it brings enjoyment to in the wider community, particularly young people. As a player, you want to support those projects and hopefully help to contribute further in the future.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Thomas Young, who made his debut for Wales on their summer tour, added: \u201cIt\u2019s great to be able to help support kids with learning difficulties and to give them an opportunity to get together and enjoy sport. On a personal note, I feel it\u2019s important to get behind programmes like this and try to back them in any way we can.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Wasps players are gearing up for the new season start as they are being put through their paces in pre-season training.

He told the Irish Times: \u201cThe margins at the moment between people at high levels in sport or high levels in business are just getting smaller and smaller and smaller.

Since most people desire an island when designing a new kitchen, integrated seating has evolved hugely as it is more space efficient and often allows the kitchen design to work better.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Poggenpohl +segmento in sand grey 2 small crop<br \/>\nIslands are seen as multi-functional spaces that act as the bridge between cooking and socialising. A few years back top UK independent kitchen designers and retailers Kitchens International saw bar stools and high seating as the most popular. While still \u2018in\u2019, many people now opt for a more solid banquet seat which wraps round the island, taking up less space and allowing storage underneath the seats.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Stoneham Living Kitchen banqueting table small<br \/>\nThis type of seating tends to be slightly more comfortable and allows social gatherings either around an island table or the table can be incorporated into the island with stand alone chairs.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Senior KI Designer Carol Cameron says: \u201cIncreasingly we are designing seating around an island or integrated kitchen table, which becomes a more permanent, unified part of the kitchen, rather than a separate zoned area. This provides a sense of inclusion rather than isolation for dining McLeod_5 low res smalland reinforces the feeling that the kitchen is quite definitely the heart of the home.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Integrated seating can take the form of bench banqueting seats, curved sofa style seats or individual chairs. It is important that the colour and textures of the seating is the same or similar as the rest of the kitchen so there is a greater feeling of flow within the design, advises Kitchens International.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Kitchens are not just functional areas, they are integral to our everyday lifestyle. Given that we all like to sit, eat and socialise the seating must reflect our way of life. At home socialising, whether it is just family or a wider group of friends, will certainly be enhanced by clever integrated seating.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Take a look at the new Kitchens International website, or better still visit one of their showrooms, to find out how your kitchen can be improved with a new design and better seating.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">MARMITE UNVEILED AS THE MOST SEIZED ITEM BY AIRPORT SECURITY<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-343098 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/www.intouchrugby.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/mmm-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"615\" height=\"410\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.intouchrugby.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/mmm-2.jpg 615w, https:\/\/www.intouchrugby.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/mmm-2-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 615px) 100vw, 615px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\u00b7 London City Airport crown Marmite the number one prohibited branded food item confiscated from travellers\u2019 hand luggage and in the top 10 overall for food items<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\u00b7 Britain\u2019s favourite breakfast spread took over LCY security gates on Monday 31st July, offering passengers the opportunity to swap their prohibited jars for a travel-friendly size<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\u00b7 Airport officials expected it to be the busiest day of the year yet<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\u200b<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">A study has revealed that Brits can\u2019t live without their favorite breakfast spread, Marmite, when travelling abroad \u2013 with London City Airport unveiling that it is one of the most intercepted items by security officials.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">The airport reveals that the yeasty spread was crowned the number one prohibited branded food item confiscated from travellers\u2019 hand luggage \u2013 and in the top 10 overall for food items.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">It seems that for holiday-goers, the thought of having to say goodbye to a Marmite-smeared life and venture into breakfast options unknown while on holiday is just too much to bear.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">To ensure Brits never have to go without the brown sticky stuff, Marmite and London City Airport have come together, taking over the security gate at the East London location to offer passengers the chance to swap their prohibited jars for a travel-friendly sized 70g miniature.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">The hand-baggage friendly Marmite meets the approval of security officers at airports, who will take away any container with more than 100ml of liquid inside.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">With the school holidays now in full swing, the swap service will be available at the airport for one day only today (Monday 31st July) from 6am until late in the evening \u2013 with airport officials expecting it to be the busiest day of the year yet.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Pending the success of the event, Marmite are considering rolling the initiative out nationwide for lovers.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">The research also found that around one in eight people (13 per cent) in the UK have had to surrender an item in their hand luggage because it didn\u2019t meet aviation or immigration rules.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">For the confiscated jars, London City Airport donate the items to a local charity called Community Food Enterprises (http:\/\/www.c-f-e.org.uk\/), who distribute to smaller charities in local communities.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Melanie Burnley, Director of Customer Experience at London City Airport, said \u201cWith 4.5 million passengers travelling through our doors each year, we see all kinds of weird and wonderful restricted items, including Marmite. &#8220;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\u201cThe Marmite swap is a temporary but popular addition which means that whether you love it or hate it, you\u2019ll still be able to get your Marmite fix when travelling from London City Airport.

Paired with darker hues, plush fabrics and geometric shapes Greenery takes on a whole new feel. AW17 sees this colour teamed with deeper shades of green as well as dark blues and even charcoal.
