    A Reddit user has been lauded for delivering a dose of "petty revenge" on a neighbour who frequently used his driveway to park. Exasperated by regularly finding his neighbour's car occupying his driveway, making him resort to street parking, he attempted to address the issue but was repeatedly brushed off. In his Reddit post, he shared: "My neighbours been parking in my driveway for months I've asked him not to a bunch of times but he always goes 'it's just for a sec' and shrugs it off.

    UK motorists are set for a new boost from the DVLA, which now permits them to drive heavier electric and hydrogen vehicles with a standard car licence.

But it was only after she finished university and managed to get work experience that she finally fulfilled her dream and worked there as a production assistant. Over nine years, she worked her way up to be the manager of Download with entertainment company Live Nation.

    With more than 160 food and drink options available at the three-day Download festival this year at Donington Park, it's not easy to choose what you want to eat. Maybe it's something about too much choice and the capacity for only so much food in a day. I wondered about the ostrich burger or maybe the 100% plant-based, organic Portuguese food.
