GREASE
 'Greasy spoons' very rarely appear in guidebooks, but they are an essential part of life in the UK, especially for peopleliving in the bigger cities. These small restaurants are so common that they often go unnoticed, but if they were removed, the country would be on its knees.
 In London, the capital city of the greasy spoon, there are hundreds of them, fuelling the population with bacon, egg and sausage. Greasy spoon cafés are so called because any cutlery that comes into contact with the food they offer is immediately coated with a sticky, greasy layer of lard. More calories can be found in a cup of tea in a good greasy spoon than in a whole meal at a normal restaurant.
 Greasy spoons are generally found slightly away from the main streets of most towns, they usually have large glass windows, a plastic sign with the name of the café - usually containing the name of the owner, e.g. Mario's, Bob's Place, Rita's Café - and a huge menu offering a wide variety of delights. Inside they are generally clean and functional. You'll see old wooden seats, tables covered with cracked linoleum and plain walls. Each table has on it a bottle of brown sauce, tomato ketchup and vinegar, and pots of salt and pepper.
 In a typical greasy spoon, you will find people from all walks of life. Poets, builders, hurrying businessmen, students lazing around with huge mugs of tea. Some read novels, some stare into space, and others catch up on the day's news. At weekends, there will always be large groups of friends, recovering from a night on the town.
 The meals here are dangerously unhealthy, and absolutely delicious. All kinds of fried food can be bought for incredibly low prices. The centrepiece is usually the traditional English breakfast. Although it's called a breakfast, you have to be really brave to eat it first thing in the morning, because it is huge. At least two pieces of bacon, two sizzling sausages, two fried eggs, fried mushrooms, baked beans and bread soaked in hot oil and fried. The English breakfast is full of meat and fat. If you want something less filling, there's still a lot to choose from; particular specialities are bacon or fried egg sandwiches (or, of course, bacon and egg sandwiches). There is also often a range of vegetarian sausages and burgers.
 Greasy spoons have some devoted followers. Typing 'greasy spoon' into an Internet search engine will bring up hundreds of entries. With pictures, reviews, menus and stories, it's the next best thing to going to a greasy spoon café yourself. But of course, nothing can beat going to the real thing - especially on an empty stomach.

RISE OF THE ‘INNER-NET’
 For most people, keeping track of emails and staying on top of their calendar might be hard enough, but for American software developer Chris Dancy, life doesn’t feel complete without being connected to several hundred devices and applications that collect data about his life at all times. "I’ve been called the most connected human on Earth, " he says. "I’ve spent the last four years connecting all the devices that I wear to all the smart technology in my home and transmitting all that data through to a single online platform, so I can search my entire life. I call it my “inner-net”.
 On a normal day, Dancy ‘travels light’, only wearing six devices: above his eyes sits a headset, which records everything he sees. Around his neck hangs a narrative camera, which requires no photography skills because it takes a picture automatically every thirty seconds. On his wrist is a smart watch, which sends him alerts from his two smart phones, while around the upper arm is a fitness armband, tracking his movement and sleep patterns twenty four hours a day. And then there’s the stuff you can’t see: a heart-rate monitor strapped to his chest to measure his heart beats and beneath his waistband, a posture sensor, "which vibrates when I get tired and I forget my posture and slouch," he beams. Back in Denver, Colorado, all the data from these devices feeds directly into his home environment, which automatically adjusts according to his mood and needs. "The house knows my moods," he says. "If I’ve been dashing around all day and get really stressed out so that I don’t sleep well, when I wake up, the light is a certain colour, the room a particular temperature and certain music plays."
