They play in Treviso, Benetton is the name of the team.

Isn’t the other side of the French Alps (Italian side) pretty full of snow? I think it snowed a lot over Christmas in Piedmont.

The DLR is coming to Thamesmead.

The extension will boost connectivity, unlock the delivery of thousands of new homes, and drive economic growth.

Great news for Greenwich and South East London.

I’d imagine they are paid significantly less. I would be incredibly - but pleasantly- surprised if they get 13 euro an hour on average. There’s no minimum wage, so pay will likely vary a lot by location.

A message to every Londoner, and anyone who talks our city down.

Kafka-land at UC Berkeley The 160 members of the university notified that their names were forwarded to the DOE's Office for Civil Rights were not informed of any specific allegations against them.

"Of course, I am not K, but I find myself uncannily identified with his predicament." Judith Butler's open letter to UC Berkeley.

I think that the tone changed since the election of Meloni. It shifted from being focused on ‘invasion’ and critical of government inaction to one focused on Meloni trying to do something but being prevented by others. I don’t live in Italy anymore but this is my perception observing from the UK.

Very unlikely to happen. Would be incredibly surprised if the quorum was to be reached.

wasn’t there a pub after the bookie?

To add to the above, AS Roma lost the Europa League final in 2023, Juve was in the semifinals the same here. AC Milan lost the CL semifinal against Inter. I also think that since the start of the Conference there’s always been an Italian team in the final. That said, agree serie A is not great.

A chart showing population proportions by age group in London and the rest of England for 2023. It shows that London has a younger population compared to the rest of England, which has a higher proportion of older age groups.

*The age of London’s population – how it’s changing & what this tells us*

London’s population is in general younger than the rest of England

1 in 3 Londoners are 20-40 y/o, compared to just 1 in 5 in the rest of England...
