Bread Ahead founder urges Chancellor to show ‘some courage’ and claims ‘high’ minimum wage is barrier to youth employment Hook: Berkshire’s postcard sunrise, a river that glints like a silver thread through royal parks, a riverside stroll that feels timeless.

South Indian food is so underrated 🥀🥀 Thali set from Saravana Bhavan The river corridor shimmered in the late afternoon, that particular Berkshire light where the Thames wears a silver thread through a mosaic of market towns.
