LUKE Elsworth has become Britain's youngest ever airline pilot....at the age of 19.

The Daily Mirror says that Luke qualified to fly passenger jets just two years after he was allowed a driver’s licence.

He was offered a job with easyJet after enrolling in the airline’s pilot training programme at CTC Aviation in Southampton almost as soon as they would accept him - just nine days after his 18th birthday.

He described his first flight - from Gatwick to Toulouse in the south of France - as “incredible”. Nature watchers in the UK reckon signs of spring took a week longer to spread across the country this year than in the last two decades.

OH dear, it seems that Britain is facing a crisis of gigantic proportions.

According to the Daily Express, the cost of chocolate is expected to shoot up before Christmas.

They are quoting an article in The Grocer trade paper which claims that a 100g bar currently costing £1.10 could go up by as much as 21p. The reason is a 70 per cent rise in the past year in the price of cocoa butter.
