Advertising Regulation
What: The industry, led by the Advertising Association, will be under pressure to implement recommendations made in the government-backed Bailey report into the commercialisation of childhood.

 We tweeted yesterday about fun things to follow to cheer us all up through the recent doom and gloom. So should we spend our way through December and out of recession? And if we did, what would we splash the cash on? This got us day dreaming of the best places on the planet to escape [...]

Luxury is no longer about a 5* hotel, gourmet food and a comfy seat on a plane. A new form of luxury is evolving, where customers want exclusivity combined with an unforgettable experience.
Unmissable has access to a new property that perfectly encapsulates this ideal. Bighorn, a private heli ski residence in British Columbia offers uber-luxe standards of accommodation and [...]

Bubbles, bubbles everywhere!  Well not quite, although I’m fairly sure you wouldn’t expect to see a bubble here?
France has, in it’s time, brought us baguettes, frogs’ legs and Eric Cantona, but the bubble tent is their latest gift and it promises to be equally magnifique. There will never be the need to miss a sunset [...]
