Pork medallions with charred courgettes and courgette salsa
If you grow your own courgettes you'll know the feeling – one minute there are none, and the next you've got a glut and no clue what to do with them all. Here we're grilling some lovely round discs of courgette, which just so happen to be the perfect size to match chunks of pork fillet. Also shaved raw, they make a great salad or a fresh little garnish alongside, and whatever's left goes into a zingy salsa. Nothing wasted.

‘It's manky and awful', says man on mission to revive Tate Britain
Tate Britain may have the beauties of the pre-Raphaelites and the landscape delights of JMW Turner, but according to its chairman, it is 'awful'. Roland Rudd said that parts of the gallery, branded as the home of British art, were not a great location to visit given their 'manky' features. Rudd was speaking as he unveiled plans to create a £150 million endowment fund for Tate, which he said would be reserved for acquiring the world's best artworks and curators. Over £40 million has been contributed to the Tate Future Fund, started by Rudd, 64, who was appointed chairman in 2021 and who said he hoped it would be one of his legacies to the organisation, as well as fixing up Tate Britain. 'At the moment, let's be honest, when you go to Tate Britain it is awful,' Rudd said. 'You have got these rows of bushes [at the front] and they look very old, they look manky. People tend to relieve themselves behind them.

Dive-bombing seagulls behind Royal Mail delays, postal workers say
Aggressive seagulls are causing havoc for postal workers in Cornwall, who have had to abandon their routes due to 'safety issues'. Royal Mail has apologised to residents in Liskeard after the dive-bombing gulls forced staff to suspend their deliveries in the area. The postal service has offered locals alternative arrangements – including a safer delivery address away from the offending birds and mail being held in an office. It also suggested residents wait until the aggressive birds have calmed down and stopped protecting their young – but this could be at the end of the August. In a letter to residents, Royal Mail assured customers the situation would be monitored on a daily basis. The letter said: "As you may be aware, we are currently experiencing some difficulties safely delivering to you and your neighbour due to seagulls in the area, swooping at delivering staff in order to protect their young. "The purpose of this letter is to firstly advise you of the issues we are experiencing but also to assure you that we will continue to attempt deliveries every day." It added: "Please accept my apologies for any inconvenience this may cause but whilst Royal Mail is committed to providing a consistent daily delivery to addresses, we do place the highest priority on the safety of our employees." Seagulls typically raise their young from May to late August each year and in this period, they can be more aggressive. The RSPCA says that gulls that swoop suddenly on people or pets are often trying to protect their chicks and will stop when the person or animal has moved away from their young. However, this behaviour usually only lasts for a few weeks until the chicks have fledged and are able to protect themselves, according to the animal charity. One local in Liskeard, Naomi, told the BBC the gulls nest on her neighbouring property for six weeks every year – in this time she said it's 'sort of deadly to go out'. "It's really a daily occurrence where I'm seeing people that are walking by or delivering things getting swooped,' she said. Another resident told The Telegraph: 'These birds are so terrible for being so protective of their young. Something has got to be done about these birds to stop them attacking humans.' However, others suggested the posties should just wear a hat or a safety helmet.
