Huge rat spotted in restaurant as owner slams viral video and eatery declared pest-free
A huge rat has been spotted in an eatery as the owner slammed an 'unfair' viral video, Ashley Docherty, who worked for a short time at the restaurant in Leeds city centre, posted the footage of the rodent which was seen there. The short video attracted 93 shares and multiple comments in less than 24 hours. But the owner of the restaurant chain Pieminster has condemned claims it has a "resident rat". The video , which was posted by the ex-worker, showed the ' huge rat ' running around the dining area of the premises. But Jon Simon, managing director and co-founder of the chain told LeedsLive the video didn't reflect his restaurant's standards and was filmed when the business was closed. Ashley Docherty, who worked briefly at the restaurant, posted the video showing the rodent ( Image: Leeds Live) Mr Simon said: "It's certainly not true and seems incredibly unfair.

New “severe” label on Denver’s air quality means higher gas prices, more stringent emissions standards
After years of failing to improve air quality, the Denver region is on the verge of receiving another downgrade by the Environmental Protection Agency that would result in higher gas prices and require more businesses to apply for emissions permits under the federal Clean Air Act. The move would force refineries to produce a special blend of gasoline for drivers in the nine-county northern Front Range during the summer months, which the association that represents the state’s gas sellers estimates would increase prices by 40 to 50 cents per gallon by next year. Michael Ogletree, director of Colorado’s Air Pollution Control Division, estimated Tuesday that 470 businesses could be required to apply for Title V air permits because the threshold for acceptable ozone-creating emissions would drop. However, there are rules that allow businesses to take steps that qualify for exceptions, so the number of newly regulated businesses could be between 100 to 300, he said. The EPA is … [Read more...] about New “severe” label on Denver’s air quality means higher gas prices, more stringent emissions standards
25 eBay buzzwords that can double your profits in an instant – and how poor grammar can lead to profit fail
Words such as "authentic" and "sport" can boost your eBay sale by up to 50% - and sellers should avoid the term "genuine" at all costs, according to linguistics experts. Researchers at Birmingham City University have trawled more than 68,000 items listed and sold on auction giant eBay.co.uk to reveal the buzzwords that can reel in the cash - and the ones that'll cost you your sale entirely. The word "gents" can fetch you up to £70 on a standard men's watch - however, use the word "men's" and you'll make just under half, at £34. Likewise, "authentic" products fetch up to 50% more than "genuine" - with fragrances selling for an average of £13 more on the auction website . Similarly, users paid nearly three times as much for “on-ear” headphones as “in-ear” headphones (£25 to £71) while a watch with “resistance” can expect to attract nearly 50 per cent more than a “resistant” watch (£85 to £59). Grammatical errors such as missing apostrophes and internet speak were also … [Read more...] about 25 eBay buzzwords that can double your profits in an instant – and how poor grammar can lead to profit fail
