The 38-year-old says she was told it would be inappropriate for her to breastfeed her baby in the office. She was later made redundant. She launched a maternity discrimination and unfair dismissal claim. I'm all for supporting women in the workplace, but come off it, love: Your employer's objection was that it was inappropriate to work in the office while caring for a baby at the same time - and they are right.

For the majority of teenagers, social media, smartphones, and keeping up with the latest trends are all essential components of modern life.

He also has a large collection of vintage clothes and collectibles sourced from antique shops, including a mug commemorating King Edward VIII's coronation and a portrait of Winston Churchill. He and his grandmother, Anne Walker, who is 75, use a traditional rotary dial phone to communicate.
