But as our dear old mudder used to say about art (and indeed literature, films and music), ‘we don’t know anything about it, but we know what we like’.

Which is why we like (recycled) fashion boutique Diva, of Totnes and Torquay, and its new website GetMyFashion.com

Pressure points

According to new figures, citizens of the People’s Republic have the UK’s highest incidence of undiagnosed high blood pressure.
