- I could fill this post ten times over with things I’ve learned from Tristan Gooley this week, but here’s one of my favourites. If you’re ever lost in a town or city, it helps to know that satellite dishes in Britain always point south-east.
- There are nine countries in Africa with more mobile phone banking accounts than traditional bank accounts.
- I mentioned Costa Rica yesterday and its radical stand on nonviolence. Japan is another country with a deliberate policy of non-aggression – though it looks like that is about to change.
- Nestle, the world’s largest food company, has decided to pay a living wage to all its contractors and staff. It is the first corporation of its size to make that commitment in Britain.
