Possibly, but it's unlikely we will ever hear the facts of this case, I mean we still haven't had confirmation that the misconduct was even sexual in nature, it was first reported as him bullying a reporter if I'm not mistaken and without the facts we can't say what motivated her to reject the settlement offer.

While it's suspect on the surface, offering a financial settlement is a very common tactic in regards to avoiding backlash, regardless of whether you are actually guilty or not. Now I'm not saying for a second that him being cleared must mean he is innocent, but the money being offered really isn't evidence of any guilt like you'd think it would be.

Big fan of Atomic Shrimp, his budget challenges are really entertaining and always give you a few ideas on how to save some money on your next food shop.

They have to make it as accessible a headline as possible, especially when most don't read past the headline anyway these days. The average person probably doesn't have much of an idea as to what 125TB looks like in real world use.

I've never heard of Boursin, I'll have to try that out at some point.

I would think that there were very few people doing that overall. I'll have to find the articles again but they suffered a massive drop in sales, it's possible though that those sales figures have since recovered but I don't have that info on hand.

It's so effective, but you just can't expect to get everyone on board sadly. Unfortunately it seems that there will always be those that value the convenience of Amazon, for example, over pushing for real change. Look at Bud Light, I hated the reasoning behind the boycott but it showed just how powerful collective action can be against corporations.

Beans on toast is probably one of the first meals most of us learn here in the UK. Or a Pot Noodle, once you figure out how the kettle works.
