He is guilty,” she added. Commenting on her video, it's safe to say people were divided in their response.

The formula for the perfect fish finger sandwich has been revealed: it's made with four fish fingers, 'real' butter, two slices of white bread, ketchup... and cut sideways.  A poll of 2,000 adults who eat fish finger sandwiches found that 42 per cent said it was their sandwich of choice.  According to those polled, the optimum fish finger sarnie is also made with lettuce (21 per cent), cheese (15 per cent) and tomato (12 per cent).  Nearly half (43 per cent) like their sandwich to be cut sideways, so there are whole fish fingers on both sides of the bread. But 30 per cent like to cut their sarnie lengthways, so all fish fingers are in half, and nine per cent go as far as cutting everything into triangles. Commissioned by Birds Eye, The Marine Stewardship Council (MSC), and Iceland Foods, which sells MSC certified products like Birds Eye fish fingers, the study found 76 per cent would opt for a fish finger sandwich made from sustainably sourced cod.  A spokesperson for the supermarket chain said: "We know our fish fingers are not only great value, but they taste good too - making them a quick and easy meal that is guaranteed to be a crowd pleaser for families. "With one third of the world's fish stocks overfished, it is more important than ever for shoppers to choose seafood from sustainable sources." Exactly nine in 10 said the fish finger sandwich is a quick, easy and affordable meal that tastes good. In addition, just over two thirds (68 per cent) said they care about making mealtimes more sustainable. But 62 per cent claim they only have a vague idea of what sustainable fishing is. Encouragingly, 80 per cent correctly believe the process of sustainable fishing ensures fish are left in the ocean, impact on habitats and ecosystems is minimalised, and fisheries are effectively managed. However, one in 16 mistakenly think sustainable fishing happens once a year so there is enough fish left in the ocean for everyone else. When asked to describe the meaning of the blue MSC label, 42 per cent were “unsure”. However, 44 per cent rightly said it is the symbol of sustainability for wild-caught fish and seafood. More than half (55 per cent) said they care about the impact their food choices have on the planet but find it confusing, while 39 per cent of those who took part in the OnePoll.com study simply can’t afford to make the necessary changes. A spokesperson for MSC said: "The creators of the fish finger, Birds Eye, helped to co-found the MSC to help protect seafood supplies. While Iceland, who won MSC UK Newcomer of the Year in 2020, has made great progress in increasing the availability of sustainable seafood to its customers. "And now offers the highest percentage range of MSC certified wild seafood among all UK retailers.” A spokesperson for Birds Eye added: “We are very proud to be working closely with the MSC. Fish is good for our health, and so for the good of our oceans the Birds Eye fish range is 100 per cent MSC certified to make sure future generations can enjoy fish too.” SWNS Read More Order a bagel and schmear at Feltz Bagels, and you'll be fed an original piece of art Kale, crispy bacon upgrades grilled cheese to an adult level Six healthy recipes that both you and your gut will love Being vegetarian may partly be in one’s genes, study finds Jamie Oliver says he’d choose anonymity over fame if given the choice again

Residents in Lahaina are petitioning Hawaii Gov. Josh Green to delay reopening West Maui to tourists this weekend, saying the community is still grieving and needs more time to heal after the devastating wildfires that left 97 dead.

When it comes to first impressions, nothing says ‘welcome’ like a stylish entrance. After all, it’s the first thing you see, and if you ever needed an excuse to decorate your entryway, the switch in seasons and rich autumn foliage is a fast track to des res doorscaping. It’s a trend that’s been inspired by social media stars such as Stacey Solomon and Zoe Sugg, says Wayfair’s resident style advisor, Dee Fontenot – who have all been embracing the ‘autumn doorscape,’ and transforming doors with pumpkins and golden hues. “Giving your front door a décor overhaul is a brilliant way to beat the end of summer blues,” opines Fontenot. “The traditional colours of autumn feel optimistic, with burnt orange shades, berry, honey, and warm oranges. It’s a super-soothing colour palette, that feels both cosy and comforting – the perfect welcome to arrive home to and brighten up the chillier months.” To master the art of decorating your doorway, Fontenot shares her top tips to make it instaworthy… and bring joy to everyone who enters… Versatile all-rounder “Dress up your door with a simple wreath that can be restyled as the seasons change,” suggests Fontenot. “While bristle grass and a burlap bow create a rustic vibe for autumn, pampas and dahlias will be a welcome addition come spring – and sunflowers will help ease the transition from the cooler months, making your wreath a star for all seasons.” If DIY isn’t your thing, she says a pre-arranged, handmade wreath decked in deep blue hues and burnt orange will be the perfect pick. “Easy to hang with some jute hanging string, it’s such a quick and easy way to give a front door a seasonal refresh.” Rustic vibes Fontenot says to take some inspiration from the countryside, and decorate a vintage-style wicker hamper with dried or faux flowers and greenery. “Combine a variety of sizes and colours – think wild moss combined with fluffy stems and the addition of luxe velvet pumpkins, or gourds for a spooky twist.” Mixed lanterns equipped with flickering LED candles will add a twinkle of rustic romance to your porch, she notes. “Complete with a pair of potted faux topiary on either side of your door to bring year-round kerb appeal,” adds Fontenot. Practical makes perfect Along with decorative homewares, Fontenot suggests introducing some practical elements to create an experience on your doorstep, “so it looks pretty whilst also being usable”. If you have the space, she says putting a bench at the front of your home will encourage you to spend extra time in the space. “It may be the front of your home catches more of the morning or afternoon sun and if a private spot, may well become your new favourite place for a quiet cup of tea in the autumn sunshine,” suggests Fontenot. Fall for faux “If your home hasn’t been treated to an abundance of autumn leaves over the doorway, that doesn’t mean you can’t achieve the look,” says Fontenot. “You can instantly bring pops of colour, using faux garlands,” she continues. “If you have bare vines above the doorway, simply use these to weave garlands of brown and orange leaves.” “Alternatively, use outdoor command hooks to frame the doorway, arching a spray of garlands from one side of the door for dramatic impact,” enthuses Fontenot. A smattering of fallen leaves, foraged conkers and autumn berries styled with pumpkin lights and a woolly blanket, complete the rustic, autumnal vibe.
