Alan Titchmarsh’s comments about avocados have struck a nerve — because everybody likes annoying vegans

Alan Titchmarsh’s comments about avocados have struck a nerve — because everybody likes annoying vegans

In terms of water use, it takes approximately 320 litres of water to produce just one avocado, compared to 15 of water to grow one apple. I bet Alan, whose observations about avocados coincide with the launch of his new Gardening Club series, eats apples. He is a cornflake and Weetabix fan, and probably eats porridge, so he at least can hold his head high. He’s 75 and in fine nick; when I met him a few years ago, he was disarmingly modest, but it was the modesty of a man who knows he is the pinup, along with Monty Don, of TV horticulture. Source link

Meghan Markle has been urged to stay off Instagram after the majority of Brits said they would rather she not make any more posts, according to a new poll.

Cringeworthy moment Meghan Markle is interrupted by Oprah at event | Royal | News

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex made a splash at a star-studded literary event last week, held at a bookstore in Montecito, California. At the event, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle rubbed shoulders with big names and laughed with some of their close friends, before Meghan stood up to speak. But halfway through her emotional speech, while Meghan spoke about the safe space of bookstores, billionaire media mogul Oprah Winfrey arrived late and awkwardly rushed in to take her seat.

The awkward moment was captured on video and shared on social media, showing Oprah walking into the store and taking a seat in the front row.
