Evenlode is an investment business, owned by its staff, that makes money for clients in its own way. Its 18-strong investment team manages £5.6 billion of assets with an overriding goal of generating 'smooth' returns for investors. Although its £3.3 billion income fund has been so popular that it is currently deterring new investors from coming on board with a 5 per cent entry charge, Global Equity Income and Global Equity remain open for business.

Brexit , the rise of online grocery sales, climate change and the war in Ukraine have combined to create the scenario now facing consumers, according to Chris Elliott, founder of the Institute for Global Food Security. He told the Chartered Trading Standard Institute: 'The UK imports nearly 50 per cent of all food we eat, so everything that happens in other parts of the world impacts us. 'One Spanish company has decided not to import into the UK anymore because it's not a big enough market for it with all the paperwork that's needed.'

Graphic covert footage shows horses slipping over, collapsing and being hit with alkathene pipes in an abattoir in Straffan, County Kildare - which is at the heart of the country's equine industry and is Ireland's last remaining horse abattoir. Video also seems to show a man putting new microchips in horses' necks to change their 'identity', thought to be an effort to launder the identity of the animals and to 'clean' them up for human consumption in Europe. Of the roughly 2,000 hoses that were slaughtered at the site last year, two thirds of them were thoroughbreds and bad been cred for the racing industry, the report said. The video, taken on hidden cameras, was shown in an documentary entitled 'Horses: making a killing' on the the Irish broadcaster RTE on Wednesday night, and an investigation has since been launched by officials.

Fort Morgan is not a city or even a town - it's an 'unincorporated community' of around 650 people in Baldwin County sandwiched between the blue waters of Bon Secour Bay and the Gulf of Mexico. Local father-of-five Bryce Porter said residents are drawn to the area for its beautiful natural surroundings and the slow pace of life that comes with it. But this came under threat in 2003 when residents woke up one morning to find that the highway had been annexed overnight, impacting the residents living on it as well as those on the tiny tributary roads which trail off towards the beach.

Mr Akabusi was caught speeding on a country road near village on the Isle of Wight. At the time he was driving his Range Rover Vogue which retailed for over £84k brand new. He already had nine points on his driving license and tried to fight disqualification by claiming in court that he has 'exceptional hardship.' This argument was dismissed at Southampton Magistrate Court and instead he was handed a six month driving ban and fined £1,036. Mr Akabusis was one of Team GB's star athletes in the 1980s and 1990s - winning a silver medal at the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics and two silver medals in Barcelona in 1992.

When Nick Train recently said that the United Kingdom is a "backwater" of global markets, he was simply expressing a long-held belief among investors. The star fund manager was describing how unfashionable they had been, but others believe that UK shares are primed for future gains.

JOHN NAISH: Should nitrites - chemical additives in most cured meats such as ham, bacon and sausages - be banned because of links to type 2 diabetes and bowel cancer? That's the suggestion from leading scientists, MPs, and peers who are urging ministers to stop using it due to troubling, increasing evidence. The chemicals are also used as a preservative, as shown by items lists, such as E249, E250, and E251. Even the manufactures claim that nitrites produce food poisoning-free meats. And yet studies by leading scientists show that they will greatly raise the risk of chronic disease epidemics, as well as not help prevent food poisoning, as the manufacturers claim.

Groundhog Day debuted in February 1993, earning more than $105 million at the box office and becoming one of the year's most popular films. The Bill Murray-led film, which also starred Andie MacDowell, Chris Elliott, and Stephen Tobolowsky, was about a weatherman who became trapped in a time loop that caused him to live the same day over and over again. The film, directed by Harold Ramis and written by Danny Rubin, is now considered one of the most popular movies of all time, and it's difficult to believe that it's only been three decades since it first appeared in theaters. The 30th anniversary of its debut will be February 12 - and the cast has certainly changed a lot since it first appeared in theaters all those years ago. Some of them went on to launch major careers for themselves, winning numerous accolades and starring in a slew of big movies and TV shows; however, others stayed away from the spotlight and are now leading pretty normal lives. Here's a look at how the actors of Groundhog Day are faring from the family comedies. From the ones who rose to the top and those who fell from grace.
