Reading is one of worst areas for food hygiene in the UK

Data released by the Food Standards Agency shows Reading has one of the worst rates in the country

More than a third of food premises in Reading have received a written warning for bad food hygiene, one of the highest rates in the country.

Four in 10 of all premises serving food in the area - not only pubs and restaurants but also places like schools and hospitals - have received a written warning over hygiene issues in 2015/16.

Data released by the Food Standards Agency (FSA) - the nation’s official food watchdog - shows 589 establishments in the town received a written warning at some point in the year to the end of March 2016.

The FSA collects data from local councils across the country, saying how often they have inspected premises, and what they have done to ensure hygiene laws are met.

The laws cover anyone preparing and serving food, and a written warning is considered ‘informal’ enforcement.

According to the FSA, this includes any communication with an owner or manager of a business saying that infringements of hygiene legislation have been found.
The data shows eight businesses in Reading were served with hygiene improvement notices during the 12 month period.

The figures are disclosed in the FSA’s annual report on UK local authority food law enforcement, released on Monday, November 21.

Across the UK as a whole, the number of food hygiene written warnings rose from 160,205 to 162,029.

Woman blasts watch retailer Breitling for displaying 'vile' mannequin at Bluewater shopping centre

A woman has blasted a watch retailer for displaying a “vile” mannequin in their shop window at Bluewater.

Kirsty Russell, 42, from Fawkham, was at the Greenhithe shopping complex when she saw the display in the Breitling store.

The blonde female mannequin is perched on top of a fake missile with her underwear on show – something Ms Russell believes has nothing to do with selling watches.

She claims the woman could be mistaken for an inflatable sex doll and that the display is offensive.

The controversial mannequin in the Breitling store at Bluewater

Ms Russell told News Shopper: “Breitling must have lost confidence in the quality of their watches to sell themselves and have stooped to this.

“Their shop display has a woman sitting on either side of a missile with exaggerated breasts, nipples highlighted by a spotlight and her gusset on show.

“I’m offended and I don’t think a shop window display like this should be at a family shopping centre such as Bluewater – it’s vile.

“The shop window display is needlessly sexist and inappropriate - would Breitling or Bluewater allow this advertising model to be in a shop window if it represented a man? Absolutely not.

“They would not spotlight a man’s enlarged erect penis for us all to see with our children.”

Ms Russell has contacted Bluewater customer services and staff at Breitling but says her complaints have been rebuffed.

Following her alleged rejection, she has started an online petition in an attempt to have the display removed.

The Fawkham parish councillor claims some customers plan to boycott Bluewater for Mother’s Day this weekend.

Ms Russell . . . . the way that Lesley's address themselves :emoticon-0125-mmm:

To be fair to her, the mannequin is quite attractive (to me, anyway :emoticon-0136-giggl) and she may well not be, so it may be just jealousy :cheesy:

I'd be jealous if a mans erect penis had breitling wrapped around it
