Public transport etiquette
I get the train to work and usually it's not busy so commonly passengers have a spare seat next to them. When it is busy though you end up sitting next someone.

Does a banana a day keep weight loss away?
A few months ago I swapped my usual breakfast of oats and milk for a green smoothie - my only fruit intake for the day. The smoothie usually contains banana (greenish not overly ripe), spinach, flaxseed, fruit such as apple, berries or kiwi fruit and water. My weight loss has been quite slow but in the past few weeks I've…
