HERE'S a surprising statistic found in the Daily Mirror who report that nearly a quarter of British adults have never been on a plane!

Research by travel search engine KAYAK.co.uk also revealed that a fifth of those surveyed say they have never visited a beach in their life, a quarter have never visited a European capital city and 41 per cent say they've never tried foreign food.

And one in 10 Brits have stayed in the UK their entire life and never once been abroad.

AS someone who remembers when they were the only option available, it is interesting to read a Daily Mail article which says that that vinyl records are enjoying a revival.

Apparently, last year saw more than one million albums sold on vinyl for the first time in almost two decades, after seven years of steady growth, and sales are expected to hit two million this year.
