Plus SAM JORDISON on the decline of public toilets; JOE STRETCH on sex and debt; EDWARD HOGAN on industrial gardening; SEBASTIAN MEYER and JACK ROBERTS chart British Pig Farming’s doomsday moment; CHRIS FLYNN almost drowns; RORY KINSELLA predicts a new career path for Jon Snow; and in a special report, BAD IDEA dissects the world credit crunch.
