Remember the past? A simpler time. A time before doxing and pile-ons and Katie Hopkins. A time when wholesome telly presenters on wholesome telly programmes told us that in the future we’d all be running our cars on chip fat and everything would be fine.

Well we’re in that future and EVERYTHING IS NOT FINE, PHILIPPA FORRESTER.

Chip fat in cars is now a thing.* So much so that Yerp insist a certain percentage of motor fuel is chip fat. Which would be super (and previously supper) if it didn’t indirectly mean rainforests getting walloped. Which, it transpires, it does.

Also this week, a quick canter through the impressively apocalyptic goings on since Babble #211 (a thinning stratosphere, LOL) and a look at some premium economy eco-guff from Etihad.

*Don’t believe us? Try it for yourself.
