Welcome to our June issue

It’s been a busy month in the RH Uncovered office!

The launch of our community website couldn’t have gone any better. We are so pleased with the response we have received from both our advertisers and the public. Thank you to all that have logged on, shared our posts and entered our exclusive competitions. If you haven’t yet visited take a look on www.rhuncovered.co.uk Last month we were lucky enough to be invited to the Gatwick Diamond Business Association awards, held at the stunning Effingham Park Hotel. After the awards we met a young man called Sam French from Gingerbread Sam. So taken were we with Sam’s story, Shelley, our community writer met with him to learn more about his gingerbread antics and we are happy to announce that Sam is now a part of the RH team! Keep an eye on the website for his first post. Featuring 75 vehicles that epitomise the very essence of motoring design, technology, style and culture from the past to the present, the Roundel Run is part “rally” and part “motor show” and will be passing through a village near you, on Saturday 13th June before ending up at the Biggin Hill Festival of Flight. We meet the organisers of the Roundel Run and have the all the details of the event so you don’t miss a thing. In June the WI celebrate their 100th year anniversary and to commemorate this we got in touch with some of the WI groups in the area. Read about the world famous institution and how they have grown and adapted to modern life. We uncover the local National Gardens Scheme that’s now in its 88th year and has so far raised almost £23 million pounds for charity. East Park Riding for the disabled based in Newchapel tell us about some generous donations and Lingfield hairdresser explains why he has joined forces with a national medical hair loss charity. All that and the usual what’s on listings, recipe, garden advice and tips for the home. Enjoy your read and don’t forget to tell our advertisers where you saw them.

The 100th year anniversary of the

Women’s Institute I

n 1915 the first Women’s Institute was formed to revitalise rural communities, but also to encourage women to become more involved in producing food during the First World War. Although their aims have changed, today, there are more than 6,500 Women’s Institute branches across Britain, hosting around 212,000 members.

The great British institution is reinventing itself. Their aims have broadened. They are the largest voluntary women’s organisation in the UK and local groups still play a very unique role in providing women with opportunities, a chance to build skills, take part in activities, and also to campaign on issues that really matter to them and their communities. Here at RH Uncovered we were keen to see how, 100 years on, the WI operates in our communities today… “The WI was a vital part of village life in its early days and throughout its 100 years it has developed into a vibrant, up to date organisation that is respected, popular and still appealing to women of every age and every walk of life,” Joy Greasley from Dormans Evening WI tells us. “What other organisation can offer that?”

Known as DEWI, the Dormans Evening WI was started in February 1964 by a group of young mums. Now some fifty years later, the group are fit to bursting with over seventy members – many coming from within the village and some even being original members!

“Whilst approximately half of our members live in Dormansland, the rest of us come from further afield to enjoy the fun and activities we organise. These include theatre trips, both in London and locally, outings, two book clubs, two walking groups, a camera group, mah-jong groups and an arts and crafts group,” president Joy continues. “We participate in many local community events including the Dormansland Carnival where we run the Tea Tent. This year we are hoping to enter a team in the Lingfield Marathon and will be helping in the WI Marquee at the Edenbridge and Oxted Show.” So what do the group have planned for the centenary celebrations? “One of our members is attending the Royal Albert Hall where the Annual General Meeting is taking place this month, others will be watching the event at Chequer Mead, East Grinstead where it will be broadcast live to a WI audience,” Joy explains. “Another lucky member will be attending the Royal Garden Party at Buckingham Palace which will be hosted by the Duchess of Cornwall, herself a WI member!” We wish the Dormans Evening WI and our other local WI members a happy month of celebrations!

Glorious

Gardens Open for Charity

W

hat can be more perfect than spending a lazy summer’s day, outside in the sunshine, amongst some truly beautiful gardens? This month, we’re uncovering local gardens open under the National Gardens Scheme, now in its 88th year, all hoping to raise money, through small admission fees and selling refreshments for seven charities. In the last ten years alone, almost £23 million has been donated, by the nationwide scheme to charities; Macmillan Cancer Support, Marie Curie Cancer Care, Hospice UK, Carers Trust, The Queen’s Nursing Institute and Perennial, as well as yearly guest charities - this year’s chosen charity is Parkinson’s UK.

How Does It Work? Just turn up to your preferred local garden/s, pay a small entry fee (usually less than £5.00 per person) and enjoy! Many green-fingered gardeners will also be selling homemade refreshments too – so why not make a day of it? “What could be more quintessentially English than to visit gardens lovingly cared for by so many people but with the same aim in mind - to raise money for charity?” Adrian Skeates, Publicity Officer for West Sussex NGS, asks. The gardens are all different; some small, others large. These garden gems are sometimes hidden away, often in the most unexpected places. The owners or gardeners are happy to talk with you about their gardens. Many of which also have the added bonus of delicious home-made teas!” Just some of the nearby glorious gardens that will be opening their gates this month include: Saturday 6th June (10am -5pm) – Standen, East Grinstead, RH19 4NE (admission: £9.50, £4.75 for children). Saturday 13th and Sunday 14th June (2-5pm) – Holly House, Chelwood Gate, RH17 7LF. Tuesday 23rd and Saturday 27th June (1.305.30pm) – Luctons, West Hoathly, RH19 4PP. Find more local gardens taking part between now through to September by visiting: www.ngs.org.uk/gardens/find-a-garden

Local Donations Received by Riding for Disabled Charity East Park Riding for the Disabled, based in Newchapel has received over £5,000 in generous donations over the last few months. Money gifted from Michael O’Neill, brother of Chief Instructor Sally, The Star in Lingfield, The Village Jeweller and local residents will help to fund the charity, which provides riding lessons for 48 local children each week, with learning or physical disabilities. “Donations for specific projects such as a new pony and our new stable building are very welcome,” James Baxter, Chairman of the fully self-funded East Park RDA , says, “but equally important are the many regular smaller sums raised by local pubs and businesses, which enable us to fund the day to day running costs of the riding sessions for our disabled children.” The charity currently need another £5,000 to be able to complete work to erect a new building. Donate or find out more by visiting www.eastparkrda.org.uk.

Lingfield Haidressers Joins National Medical Hair Loss Charity Suffering from an illness can understandably make a person feel less like themselves, especially if it also causes hair loss. Hiz ‘N’ Hairz Health and Beauty on Lingfield’s High Street have joined the My New Hair charity (created by Trevor Sorbie), which aims to offer unbiased advice, services and support to those suffering from medical hair loss - many of the treatments are also free! “It is still a shock that many clients are given a prescription and a wig is sent in the post without any instructions,” Ray Collins, owner of the salon, says. “Some do not know how to wear them correctly or that they can cut and style their wigs.” “We can wash, cut and restyle and even cut the wig around tender treatment areas. As the client’s treatment and illness change, often day by day, we enjoy being able to help and support a person with what is often a prized possession – their hair.” Find out more by calling Hiz ‘N’ Hairz on 01342 832 766.

What’s going on in East Grinstead It’s a touch of the Land of Hope and Glory for East Grinstead this month, as the very first Proms in the Park event is held in the parkland grounds of East Court Mansion on Sunday 28th June. This afternoon concert commences at 1pm and finishes – no doubt with a rousing chorus – at 5pm. The Sackville School Orchestra, the East Grinstead Concert Band as well as the Forest Row Orchestra will all be performing. Joining them will be The Merry Opera Company to lend a vocal touch to the afternoon. We can do no better than to quote their review in Opera Now “The Merry Opera Company has a nice line in slightly offbeat touring shows, performing them with charm, energy and wit” This is a Free Event organised by the East Grinstead Town Council and there will be a pay bar as well as a BBQ. Other events this month include the famous Bluebell Railway’s Rail Ale train in the evening of 19th June, this includes a sausage and mash supper at Sheffield Park and a live Jazz band at Horsted Keynes station, departures from East Grinstead.

T

he Biggin Hill Festival of Flight has always been an event to look forward to, and to remember. This year, however, it’s going to be bigger than ever.

Originally, and successfully, a motor-racing circuit, Brooklands became home to the Hawker Hurricane and Vickers Wellington, which were built there for the war effort.

Commemorating the 75th anniversary of the Battle of Britain, in which RAF Biggin Hill played a crucial role, the Festival will be pulling out all the stops to ensure a memorable and befitting event.

The first checkpoint is Bell and Colvill. Bobby (Bell) and Martin (Colvill) have sold cars together from their West Horsley premises for 40 years. Successful amateur racing drivers, they met through a mutual passion for motorsport and the legendary British Lotus marque, then at the height of Formula 1 success.

During the war the Aerodrome hosted the front line of defence against enemy bombers, with RAF fighters downing 1,400 Luftwaffe aircraft, from its runways alone. So naturally the air show will be spectacular. There will be fighter planes galore, including Spitfires, Hurricanes, Mustangs and a Messerschmitt Me109. But it doesn’t end there. The Festival also hosts an impressive ground display, both of aircraft and historical or military vehicles. However, this year’s static car display comes with a twist, thanks to a new part of the Festival called The Roundel Run. As much as Biggin Hill played a part in the Battle of Britain, so did many other locations across Surrey, Sussex and Kent. The inaugural Roundel Run aims to recognize their achievements as well. The Roundel Run is part ‘rally’ and part ‘motor show’. It will feature 75 vehicles that epitomise the very essence of motoring design, technology, style and culture; from the past to the present. It starts under Concorde, at Brooklands Museum; the home of British motorsport and aviation.

Along the way the route takes in the towns of Dorking and Reigate, with the latter being a key target during the war. One might surmise that this was because General Sir Bernard Montgomery, Land Commander of the 21st Army, had his HQ based in the large houses on Reigate Hill. Next up is Horley, home to Donald Campbell CBE, who broke 13 world speed records in the 1920s and 30s in his famous Bluebird cars and boats. The Run makes its way along the twisty roads of Turners Hill, on to East Grinstead, for a flying visit to the McIndoe Surgical Centre. Founded by Sir Archibald McIndoe, the Centre is famous for its legendary ‘Guinea Pig Club’. This was made up of patients, particularly RAF pilots and crew who, after receiving burn injuries in aircraft, needed experimental reconstructive plastic surgery for very deep burns and serious facial disfigurement. The Guinea Pig Club was the result of McIndoe’s efforts to make life in the hospital easier for his patients and to begin to rebuild them psychologically in preparation for life outside the hospital.

The next stop is Edenbridge, which hosted many evacuees during WW2. However it is probably most famous for its relationship with the Surtees family. John Surtees OBE, Formula 1 world champion in 1964, started Surtees Racing Management in the town in 1970 which resulted in the likes of F1 stars Mike Hailwood, Jochen Mass and 1980 Australian F1 World Champion Alan Jones becoming regular visitors to the towns’ motorsport factory. The Run then passes by the entrance to Chartwell House, the much-loved Churchill family home and the place from which Sir Winston drew inspiration from 1924 until the end of his life. During the Second World War, the house was mostly unused. Its relatively exposed position, in a county so near across the English Channel to German occupied France, meant it was potentially vulnerable to a German airstrike or commando raid. On passing the historic green with the Winston Churchill statue, in Westerham, the Roundel Run finishes the rally part of the day with a parade in front of the capacity crowd of 18,000 visitors, coming to a stop at the Festival Arena, where the motor show begins. In addition to educating and entertaining the Roundel Run will be raising money for four worthy charities; the RAF Benevolent Fund, the Kent, Surrey, Sussex Air Ambulance, Make a Wish Foundation UK and Brooklands Museum.

Falafel, Pepper And Goat’s Cheese Salad

If you’re having veggie friends around for lunch or just fancy a meat-free supper for a change this colourful salad will fit the bill. Falafels are small Middle Eastern deep-fried patties made with cooked chick peas. You can buy them ready-made in most supermarkets or deli’s but they are really easy to make at home with just a can of chick peas and a few store cupboard ingredients. For an on-the-go salad pack into warmed pitta breads.

Serves 4, Ready in 30 minutes 400g can chickpeas, drained and rinsed 2 garlic cloves, peeled and finely chopped 4 tbsp freshly chopped parsley or coriander 1 tsp ground cumin 1 tsp ground coriander 1 tsp chilli powder 2 tbsp plain flour Salt and freshly ground black pepper Oil for shallow frying 1 large red pepper, deseeded and thickly sliced

1 yellow pepper, deseeded and thickly sliced 2 tbsp olive oil 150g bag mixed salad leaves Half a small iceberg lettuce, roughly shredded 150g goats’ cheese, roughly crumbled FOR THE DRESSING 6 tbsp olive oil 2 tbsp white wine vinegar ½ tsp Dijon mustard

1. To make the falafel, place the chick peas, garlic, parsley or coriander, spices and flour in a food processor and season well with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Process for about 1 minute until you have a fairly smooth mixture. Turn into a bowl then divide and shape the mixture into 12 small patties with clean wetted hands. 2. Shallow fry the patties in hot oil for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on kitchen paper. 3. Meanwhile, place the sliced peppers on a foil-lined grill pan and drizzle over the olive oil. Grill for 3-4 minutes on each side until tender and lightly charred in places. 4. Toss together the salad leaves and shredded iceberg lettuce. Arrange on four plates with the grilled peppers. Halve the hot falafel then add to the salad and top with roughly crumbled goats’ cheese. 5. To make the dressing, place all the ingredients in a screw-topped jar and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Pour the dressing over the salad and serve immediately. Tip: Add a handful of fruity black or green olives to the salad or sprinkle with some lightly toasted pine nuts to give an extra Mediterranean flavour.

any of us dream of running our own business and becoming renowned in our chosen field, but for Sussex resident Sam French, that dream has quickly become a reality – already winning Gatwick Diamond’s Young Start-Up Talent, having his quirky gingerbread bakes featured in Vogue magazine and even becoming a motivational speaker, inspiring fellow young entrepreneurs; all before he turned twenty-three years old.

Sam, who won a prize worth £50,000 from the Young Start Up awards in 2013, was inspired to bake his way to success whilst on a trip to Selfridges with his grandad – even though he couldn’t actually bake at the time: “I went into London to have lunch with my grandad. I hadn’t even been in there before, but had wanted to go. After trying some gingerbread I remember thinking: this is one of the best stores in the world, but I’m sure I can do better, so I started baking!” It took Sam a little over a year to perfect his gingerbread men (and women) and it wasn’t long before he was supplying both local and national businesses; including British Airways, winning over the Gatwick Diamond judges and motivating others with the story behind his London Fashion Week influenced collection and personalised bakes.

“I’ve always been someone who wants to do whatever I’m doing to the best of my ability,” Sam, who founded Sam’s Kitchen at just sixteen, tells us. “Whether that was selling second-hand toys (as the Crawley resident starting doing when he was just five, at his dad’s stall) or selling gingerbread men, I think it’s important to really love and enjoy what you do.”

“It’s been so exciting,” the young entrepreneur continues, “I’ve met some really inspirational people – including the founder of British retailer Jack Wills, which was amazing! You only live once, if there’s something you want to do, why not give it a go? “You’ll never know otherwise!”

We’re pleased to announce that Sam will be joining the RH Uncovered team, showcasing the talents of fellow business owners in our local area – pop over to www.rhuncovered.co.uk to check out his latest blog!

Bring Me Add extra space, make the most of precious sunshine and bring the garden into your house. Katherine Sorrell looks at what you should consider when planning to build a conservatory.

Kit or bespoke? Kits tend to be cheap and DIY-friendly, as most of the parts (usually a PVCu frame and polycarbonate roofing) are pre-cut and predrilled ready for installation. If you choose a bespoke design you’ll pay a great deal more, but you’ll have something tailored to your individual requirements. Remember that unless a conservatory is well finished and appropriate to your property, it may detract from rather than add to its value. Size, siting and aspect A simple plant room or occasional-use home office can be squeezed into quite a small space, but for a useable room such as a sitting room, dining room or playroom, allow at least eight to ten metres of floor area. Overall, ensure that the proportions of your conservatory suit how you’re going to live in it and complement your property and garden.

Walls and frames Traditionally, conservatories are built onto a 600mm high ‘dwarf’ wall made of brick or stone, in a colour and style that matches or complements that of the main house. More recently, however, fully-glazed structures have become fashionable, offering a contemporary look and even more light. The most popular choice for the wall framework is PVCu, a material that is light, strong, requires little maintenance and is often made to stock lengths so it can be system-built quickly and easily. It isn’t an environmentally friendly choice, however, and its modern look can be inappropriate for a period property. Bespoke conservatories are generally made in hardwood, which can be carved into slender, intricate designs and suits older properties, though it is more expensive and requires regular maintenance.

How will your conservatory adjoin the house? Is there a large enough exterior wall, and will you have to avoid obstructions such as trees or outbuildings? If possible, try to place it facing east or west, as north-facing conservatories tend to be cold, while south-facing ones can overheat.

Glazing Double or triple glazing is essential to reduce heat loss from a conservatory at any time other than mid-summer. The best glazing combines a low-emissivity coating that reflects heat back inside, and argon-gas filled units for maximum insulation. In a bespoke conservatory, you can specify tinted, etched, obscured, anti-sun, fire-resistant, self-cleaning or other specialist glass at a price. For roofs, choose from glass or polycarbonate panels.

Ventilation In the height of summer you’ll need to be able to provide a cool waft of air in your conservatory. Roof vents may be opened manually (with long-armed winding gear) or electrically, or may even be thermostatically controlled to open at the necessary time, with a sensor to close them if it starts to rain. Trickle vents in the roof or side windows are useful, allowing warm air to flow out as necessary. You may also wish to add a central ceiling fan.

The latter are light and strong, cheap, and quick and easy to fit, but tend to obscure light, particularly at thicknesses that achieve the same thermal performance as double glazing. Near trees, they may also suffer from algae growth.

Shading Not just necessary for privacy, blinds also provide shade from direct sunlight and reduce the build-up of heat. If the latter is a problem, your best bet is solar-reflective roller blinds. Otherwise, the options include pleated fabric, pinoleum Roman blinds and slatted Venetian blinds. The blinds you choose will have an enormous impact on the style of the room as a whole, so take your time choosing a look that’s right for you. Remember to ask how easy it is to clean your chosen blinds, and consider whether you want to open and close them with pull-cords, rods or via remote control.

Heating Heating is essential if you plan to use your conservatory in winter and, to comply with building regulations, it must be independent from your main system. You may wish to place radiators against the dwarf walls or install under-floor heating, either of the warm-water pipe or electric cable variety, or you may consider electric trench heaters, hidden under grilles around the edges of the floor. Where there’s room for a chimney or flue it is perfectly possible to install an open fire on the wall that was the outside of the original house.

Do I need permission? Many small, domestic conservatories don’t need planning permission, but there are conditions. For further information, look at planningportal.gov.uk and consult your local planning authority.

Bugs and Beetles Bugs and beasties are really thriving in this warmer weather, so just how should you deal with the most common problems you are likely to encounter at this time of year? Aphids

Woodlice

Greenfly and blackfly, also known as aphids, can be a real menace as they suck sap from your plants and can transmit viruses at the same time. Aphids breed incredibly rapidly, so regular control is necessary.

Woodlice often cause a lot of concern, however these little creatures are rarely responsible as they simply do not have adequately strong mouthparts. They can cause damage to soft new growth or occasionally to soft-fleshed fruits such as strawberries but can’t tackle tougher plant growth. You may see them at the ‘scene of the crime’ and presume that they have caused the initial damage but they have probably moved in to clean up a lot of the debris created by other creatures.

Check plants regularly and either spray with a suitable insecticide or a soap or plant oil based insecticide

Use biological controls – they’re totally safe for all other creatures and of course leave no residues

Use a strong jet of water to blast the aphids off plants, but do a thorough job or else they will soon be back up and causing damage

Caterpillars Caterpillars come in all shapes, sizes and colours, but can do a lot of damage as they munch their way through your plants and perhaps even into your vegetables. •

Hand pick the pest where possible and either squash or place on the bird table. They’re easiest to spot at dusk or very early in the morning.

Spray with a suitable contact insecticide or better still use the Nemasys Caterpillar biological control.

Some caterpillars, in particular the Tortrix Moth produce quantities of fine webbing which they use to bind leaves or other plant parts together to create particularly safe shelters for themselves. It’s hard for a pesticide to actually reach them so hand picking or squashing is often the best answer.

Cover caterpillar-susceptible crops such as calabrese, broccoli and other brassicas with Envirofleece or Enviromesh.

Earwigs Earwigs can cause quite a bit of damage, particularly on the flowers of plants such as clematis and dahlias, where they nibble out large quantities of petal or occasionally leaf. Try trapping them using an inverted flowerpot on top of a bamboo cane. The bamboo cane and pot should be positioned amongst susceptible plants and the pot needs to be stuffed loosely full of hay, straw or similar material. The earwigs climb in there to hide and the pots can them simply be emptied out on a regular basis. Mildew Powdery mildew is also a problem at this time of year; it coats plant leaves, stems, buds and sometimes even petals with a white floury deposit. Sometimes the mildew can also prevent fruits from swelling normally, cause the leaves to become distorted and even fall early. Prompt action is essential and if you wish you can use a proprietary fungicide but check the label carefully for suitability. Keep the damage to a minimum in the first instance by ensuring that the plants are kept well watered. In addition try to ensure a good flow of air around the plants. A bit of careful pruning or weeding often helps too.

Visit Pippa’s website www.pippagreenwood.com where you can sign up for Pippa’s free newsletter and receive a free ebook on organic gardening, and buy a great range of gardening products including Nemasys caterpillar, slug, ant and other biological controls, Enviromesh, Envirofleece and a hand-picked selection of garden products

Five ways to boost your confidence this summer With summer fast approaching the thought of shedding off those layers of clothes can terrify us. Here’s some top tips to help you blossom this Summer.

• Firstly how about shedding all those negative thoughts about how you look. It’s time to spring clean those thoughts. Rather than starting from a point of ‘I wish I was’, start from ‘this is where I am, how can I move forward?’. As you head along the journey clear out the excess. How many of you keep clothes in their wardrobe ‘just in case’. You are already telling yourself you're likely to fail. As you open your wardrobe this summer see the clothes of the future, not the past. • Secondly, the key to dieting and healthy eating is listening to our bodies. Imagine balancing all the unhealthy food we eat in one hand and all the nutritious healthy foods in the other. Can you imagine what each hand would look like? Junk food sticking to one hand, running down your fingers, a mix of sticky ingredients. Against the natural foods, the fresh fruits and vegetables, with every colour of the rainbow catered for. I know which one is more appealing to me. If you are not sure or want some guidance, we have so many nutritionists available locally these days.

• Thirdly and just as importantly is hydration. Our bodies are made up of over 70% water. If you’re dehydrated this is a form of negative stress on the body. • Tip four is exercise. When you exercise you release a feel good chemical into the body. So not only are you burning off energy, you’re releasing that feel good chemical in you. • Finally but just as important, sleep… no I’m not hypnotising you! A lack of sleep can cause us to lose focus and make mistakes, which is turn can undermine our confidence. So how to spring into Summer confidently? Look after number one. Take time to relax. Have a massage. Treat yourself to a relaxing hypnotherapy session. Fuel your body with energising natural fuel. Why not grow vegetables? Then not only do you get the energy, you get the exercise looking after them. So shoulders back, a smile on your face and make this Summer your most confident one ever. Becky Wells, www.beckywells.com Personal Development Hypnotherapist www.payitforwarduk.net

What is hypnotherapy? Hypnotherapy is a natural state of heightened awareness that occurs within all of us. It allows us to open our minds to beneficial suggestions and allows the client to use their imagination to make positive changes. A brief way to describe a feeling similar to hypnosis is that moment you’ve been watching TV and not heard a word that’s been said, even though you’ve been staring straight at the screen. Alternatively it’s the car journey where you wonder how you got to a certain place. Your mind is on auto-pilot and must have been in control, otherwise there would probably have been an accident. What can hypnotherapy help with? • Agoraphobia • Anxiety • Blushing • Confidence Building • Depression • Fears and Phobias • Gambling • Guilt • Habits and Compulsions • IBS • Insecurity • Insomnia • Memory Recall • Nail biting • Nervousness • Pain Control • Obsessive Compulsive Disorder • Panic Attacks • Public Speaking • Smoking • Stress Management • Timidity • Trauma • Weight Problems • Worry

(Paper)

Licence to Kill I

f you, like me, begrudgingly gave up your paper driving licence in favour of one of the photocard examples back in 1998 (yes, it really was that long ago), you would have found some small comfort in the fact that you got to retain a paper counterpart. There is just something about that moth-eared, multiplefolded, piece of green paper that appeals to the luddite in me. A refusal to accept the inevitable fate that awaits us all – everything is going to end up smaller and/or on computer. Having the paper counterpart in my wallet, as illegible as it is now that it’s been through the wash several times, not to mention being used as a wedge to stop the table down the pub wobbling, is strangely reassuring. It’s a passport to a time when life seemed much simpler, even though it probably actually wasn’t. But, as much as it pains me to admit it, it’s going to happen, paper is going to lose out in favour of digital information. There is no stopping the perpetual march of progress. Remember the Brittanica Encyclopedia salesmen that were everywhere in the 90’s? When was the last time you saw one of them? Or even an Encyclopedia? Everything you ever need to know (and a lot of things that you don’t) is available on the internet – like, for example, the fact that in the UK, operating a cow or steam engine whilst intoxicated carries a prison sentence. Imagine, then, my dismay at the news that my passport to a time when chicken really tasted like chicken, and cheese didn’t crumble when you cut it, is being phased out. As of the 8th June 2015 the paper counterpart for your driving licence is no longer valid, or issued by the DVLA.

any endorsements or penalty points that you might have accrued, as well as indicating what type of vehicle you are legally allowed to drive. So the next time you hire a vehicle, or are going for a new job, there will no longer be that awkward moment in time when you have to explain away that SP40 crudely scrawled on the back, in biro, after presenting them with the paper counterpart. From the 8th of June, any information that would previously have been on that green bit of paper, will now be recorded digitally and available to share with the relevant parties via a special code obtained by you from the GOV.UK website. Or for the recalcitrant amongst us, there is the option to do it by phone by calling 0300 083 0013. The code will last for 72 hours each time you request it, and will allow you to share the finer details of your driving license with hire companies or prospective employers. In reality, all this really means to you or I is that we can rip up the paper bit and throw it in the bin on 8th June, as it will mean nothing after that date. The DVLA claim it’s part of their plan to simplify their services; though if you’ve bought or sold a car that was taxed recently, you might raise an eyebrow to that one. However, with all of that said, if you still haven’t updated to a photocard driving licence anyway, you get to keep that chewed-up, dog-eared, paper licence safe and sound in your wallet, and pretend none of this has ever happened. By Ben Morley

Maybe, though, it’s a good thing. The counterpart existed in the first place as a means of recording

Avoiding Tea-Time Terrors For many parents, the end of the day is when we’re at our busiest. From picking the kids up from nursery, school and after-school activities, to unpacking shopping, helping with homework, cooking dinner and supervising bath time – it can be a whirlwind few hours. That’s why this Child Safety Week (1st – 7th June), the focus is on tackling tea time terrors, as organisers, the Child Accident Prevention Trust found that most serious accidents happen during these hours. The week aims to offer parents simple and practical tips to keep their children safe, with events throughout the country. Families are invited to take part in a range of fun activities, including tasting Bitrex - known as the bitterest substance discovered, making

/RHUncovered

it a powerful deterrent to accidental swallowing of harmful household, garden and automotive chemicals. “Tea-time is a high pressure time for parents, with lots of competing demands. But it’s when pressures are high and everyone is tired that serious accidents can happen, including devastating burns and children knocked down by cars,” Katrina Phillips, Chief Executive of the Child Accident Prevention Trust, explains. “This Child Safety Week, we’re offering simple tips to help families make safety part of their tea-time routines. Look out for local events, check out our safety advice and join us on Facebook and Twitter.” Advice is available now on the Child Accident Prevention Trust’s website www.capt.org.uk, Facebook page www.facebook.com/ ChildAccidentPreventionTrust, and via Twitter @childsafetyweek.
