period, bearing in mind we have three or four teams playing period, bearing in mind we have three orfour teams playing here. it is impossible to do that during the playing season. with squad sizes increasing, the fa says the changes to provide better environment for the players and gave clubs notice in 2014 and sent out warning letters. taunton town fc got theirs last week. it is a pretty harsh letter, you will be relegated. there are loads of grounds that do not have the facilities, so we just think it isa the facilities, so we just think it is a sledgehammer to the facilities, so we just think it is a sledgehammer to crack the facilities, so we just think it is a sledgehammer to crack a worn out. with the deadline looming, they are setting for a temporary fix, meaning longer term plans to upgrade grounds have been sidelined. england's first test against sri la nka england's first test against sri lanka will start at 4:30am uk time, taking place in cornwall. the england captain has called for a bolder and more courageous approach

about 5,000 employers, including a third of the biggest companies in the country, have signed up to a voluntary scheme to pay what's described as a real living wage, worked out by the charity the living wage foundation. it is substantially more than the legal minimum wage set by the government of £7.83 per hour if you are over 25. employers signed up to the voluntary scheme will raise wages by 25p an hour to £9 an hour, and by 35p per hour for staff working in london. this year, we've seen private rental costs go up, council tax go up, public transport has got more expensive, and the basic price of the sort of basic goods you buy in your supermarket shop has also gone up. all of that has come together to mean that people need more this year to meet their basic costs of living. other costs have been rising, such as in the case of a chippie, potatoes, squeezing employers' profit margins. the price of your fish and chips pays for a lot more than just fish
