A retired 90s pop star famed for a string of hits looked completely unrecognisable with his VERY smooth features when he was pictured getting a parking ticket.

Not many things split the Great British public opinion more than their views on high street coffee chains. For many, grabbing a Costa , Starbucks or Pret is as fundamental a part of their morning routine as it is brushing their teeth. Others are appalled by the sight of these stores and symbolize them as everything that is wrong with the modern world.
