There is a free game for Android smartphones, from Google, that has today also been made available for iPhones.

It is an "Augmented Reality" game which means it uses the real world around us, and then adds extra features/information to it.

Essentially, it is a game of territorial control between two factions.

I've found it to be great fun, and especially good if you would like to walk/run/cycle more. Also can be very sociable if you want it to be.

The game is called Ingress. There is a sci-fi narrative alongside the game, but you can ignore that.

The two factions are Resistance (blue) and Enlightened (green). The 'Resistance' has more members, so I recommend signing up to Enlightened to help even up the numbers. Okay, there's a couple of million players worldwide...

  Did you eat the chicken from the first two purchases? Did they smell before going into the oven? I’d definitely speak to the shop and also speak to Environmental Health at Lambeth - I think that is the borough that butcher is in. Hopefully ArchieCarlos will do the same.

  Something doesn't quite smell right here and probably it's not the chicken. Both the OP and TheWeekEnd specifically mention chicken thigh fillets. TWE purchased £14 worth of chicken thigh fillets and they were thrown away "probably for the third time". £14 equates to around 12 fillets which is a lot. Could some have been frozen after purchase and then thawed? And thawed properly before cooking? TWE has a total of 4 posts of which 3 are on this thread.
