The city where the barber still sings

Article Abstract:

The city of Seville, Spain, is associated with many myths and legends. It is based around the old town area of Santa Cruz, where there are short, narrow streets, cobbled squares and white-walled houses. The city's other attractions include the Triana district, which also has narrow streets and some old courtyards, and the cathedral. Seville is also a good base from which to visit places such as Madrid, Granada and Cordoba.

It's managers vs talent on TV tonight

Article Abstract:

Managers in the UK television industry have an attitude which serves to discourage creativity. As long as this continues, the industry will never become significant on a global level. It tends to be dominated by the middle class, thus preventing access for the working class, which is where the best ideas tend to originate.
