    In-flight meal stumps flyer: 'Nothing was quite as insubstantial as this'

    Some people have no choice in what they can eat. I'm allergic to seafood, berries, mushrooms & fresh pork, so my 'special' diet is a medical necessity, I'm not just a picky eater. I cannot process chlorophyl, so no green veges for me, thanks. I refuse to purchase or eat store bought salads...

    Plan to reduce pension access for claimants with drug and alcohol-related conditions is scrapped

    I had a car accident in 1978, and it's been an uphill battle to convince anyone, especially doctors, that I really do have a disability - just because I'm not in a wheelchair, it doesn't mean that the pain is any less. I can sit for limited periods, but even to carry a handbag around unless...
