Vegetable Oil Road Trip

Found an interesting little article:
John and Ann Till, from Petersfield, in Hampshire used a recycling-to-rewards-miles machine at their local Tesco supermarket to gain enough air miles to finance business class tickets for their honeymoon.

John and Ann Till, from Petersfield, in Hampshire, took thousands of cans and bottles to a recycling centre at a nearby Tesco supermarket.

For every four recycled items, they earned a reward point which was then converted into BA air miles.

They amassed 36,000 miles, which they used to fly back in business class from their US honeymoon.

Congrats on the wedding!

The New York Times has a touching and hilarious story (written and illustrated) by Christophe Niemann, a father whose two sons (5 and 3) are obsessed with the New York Subway system:

When your child cries in public, it is usually an uncomfortable situation. Once, we needed to get home quickly from Chambers Street, and I told Gustav that we had to take whichever blue train came next. The A train pulled in, and Gustav (who had been hoping for the C) started throwing a fit. However, the other passengers in the car gave me warm smiles. I guess they hadn’t seen that many 3-year-olds sobbing, “Local…I want the local.”
