Saab Owners in the UK will be making a demonstration outside the Saab headquarters in Luton and others across Europe will be arriving at the Saab factory in Sweden.

I stumbled across graze.com at the weekend and was intrigued at what they were selling. Graze is basically healthy eating by post. They have a selection of foods from nuts to fruit and seeds to olives. They offer quality food delivered to your door on a regular basis.

You can choose what goes in your box from over 100 different choices. You can rate the products they have so they never send you things you don't like. The food is well packaged and environmentally friendly. I'm definitely impressed and will continue to order and try new and exciting food snacks.

If you want to try the service like I did and get your first box for only £1 delivered, visit www.graze.com and use the code JWHGPCGB.

Google Street View

It looks as though Google Street View may be coming to a town near you - soon.

I was walking around the sleepy town of Bexhill-on-Sea at lunch time and spotted a Google Street View car. When I originally saw it, it was moving, so there may be a chance I'll be on the final footage. As I got to the end of the road I saw it parked up and got some photos.

My New Phone

On 24th February I got myself a new upgrade phone on Orange. I'll be writing a more detailed article about it shortly, once I've got to grips with it fully. In the mean time, it's a Nokia E71 and this is what it looks like.

Pepsi Raw Update

Since I've tried the Pepsi Raw I bought in Waitrose, I also found Pepsi Raw in 250ml cans in Boots.

Pepsi Raw is a very similar to Pepsi although it's definitely sweeter and less fizzy. I like the natural colour of the drink compared to how dark cola normally is and it also goes well with Jack Daniels.

Detox Conclusion

Posted by Toby Field On Monday, March 02, 2009 0 comments
After 4 weeks of cutting out many bad things from my diet, I have come to the conclusion that I miss coffee and cola quite a lot.

The first day was the hardest. Not having prepared myself fully for the withdrawal of certain substances, there were a lack of adequate substitutes in the house. As time went on the lack of coffee and coke got easier but I did notice however, that I was getting tired earlier in the evening.

Chocolate was easier to give up than I thought but I did replace it with other sweet things, like cake.

Having looked back on my original list though, I noticed that tea was on my list of things that I'd decided to give up. I'd totally forgotten about this and over the course of the four-week detox, I had about ten cups of tea.

So in summary, I can do it if I want to but I really do miss coffee and coke and not just for the taste!
