People have been left outraged, claiming that Borough Market’s annual cheese festival was just not gouda-nuff after an event last night was overcrowded, making it difficult for customers to reach the cheese.

‘Colour aside, Nutella is good for the hair as it makes it more shiny.’

But how?

Nutella is the spread of kings. It’s so versatile – it can be spread on toast, bagels, pancakes. It can be eaten solo by simply dipping a spoon in the jar. It can be used as chocolate icing when you’re too lazy to make a proper frosting. So many uses.

But what you probably didn’t know about the hazelnut spread is that it can also apparently be used to dye hair.

Three weeks after Sara Roebuck moved to Paris for a six month internship, she was attacked by a man in a nightclub.

Almost a year after the attack happened, and one day after Sara stood in front of the man who had tried to rape her and fought back against what he claimed had happened, she decided to write a powerful open letter to the man on Medium.

In the letter – which you can read in full at the bottom of this article – Sara directly addresses the man who tried… Read the full story

Christmas is a busy time for parents.

There is so much to think about, to buy and to do.

This woman wrote a powerful open letter to the man who tried to rape her

The founders of Sapio got in touch with Metro.co.uk to put the record straight on what the orientation means and how to know if you qualify as a sapiosexual.

Every Christmas you get given something that you don’t want. It’s like a tradition.

No Christmas is complete without a bath-themed gift set or unwanted earrings – standard present fodder for people who really don’t know you that well or just don’t care that much about you.

And you end up hoarding these things for months. If you’re audacious enough, you might repackage them for someone else. But most of us just keep hold of them indefinitely, taking up precious cupboard space.

There are two types of Londoners: those who ride buses, and those who do not.

Those who do not may not understand the specific vibe of riding the bus late at night. The loud chatter of hammered people at 1am. The argument over a seat. The driver yelling at everyone to go up the stairs and use the seats.

On The Night Bus, by photographer Nick Turpin, gives a sense of the quieter moments on buses, when it’s late, rainy, and people just want to get home.
