UK house prices slip for first time since June, may fall further

British house prices have fallen for the first time in seven months in January before the end of a tax cut for buyers on March 31, mortgage lender Nationwide said, adding that the market could weaken sharply.

House prices jumped in 2020 after Britain’s first coronavirus lockdown last spring, helped by finance minister Rishi Sunak’s decision to suspend purchase taxes on properties worth up to 500,000 pounds ($684,400.00) and by people seeking bigger homes in response to the lockdown restrictions.

Will 2021 Be The Year That Travel Returns To Normal?

Although travel has partially recovered from the early days of the pandemic, air travel is still at 46% of 2019 rates globally, with as much as an 80% reduction on U.K. flights. If you compare that to 9/11, in 2001, 1.66 billion passengers flew, the year after the attack, figures were back up at 1.63 billion passengers. Both 9/11 and the current situation have a lot in common; one of the main reasons people are not flying now is fear. Again, in both scenarios, airlines and airports have done everything than can to instill passenger confidence.

UK is advising against all travel to the US amid the coronavirus pandemic

The U.K. government is advising citizens and residents against all travel to the U.S. in response to the coronavirus pandemic.

In a brief statement, the U.K. Foreign Office said it is “advising against all but essential travel to the USA,” a day after the U.S. government expanded its list of countries whose nationals are effectively banned from entering the U.S. to include the United Kingdom and Ireland.

The announcement by the U.K. authorities follows a move by the Trump administration to impose restrictions on foreign travelers entering the U.S. in an effort to help stem the number of infections of the coronavirus strain, COVID-19, which last week was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization.

Shauna Coxsey reconfirmed for Team GB in 2021 Olympics

Coxsey personally earned a ‘named athlete’ quota place for Tokyo 2020 and retains her place for the Olympic Games, where sport climbing will debut. Named athlete quota places are those which are specific to the athlete who earned the qualification, and these have been guaranteed by the IOC as secure.

This means that all 21 of the athletes originally nominated to, and selected by, the British Olympic Association (BOA) for the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games have been confirmed by their sports as retaining their selections for the Games, now being held in 2021.

The COVID-19 pandemic has seen the postponement of the Games until 23 July 2021 and has required the International Olympic Committee (IOC) to reconfirm sport qualification processes, which they did recently.

Team GB Sport Climber, Shauna Coxsey, commented: "With so much uncertainty at the moment, I am relieved to have my place with Team GB reconfirmed for the Olympics. I have adapted my training so I can maintain my form at home, but I cannot wait to be back on the walls and prepari

British Olympic Trials To Be Held In April 2021 At The London Aquatics Centre

The British Swimming Championships – which double as the Olympic trials for the Great Britain team for Tokyo 2021 – will be held at the London Aquatics Centre from 13-18 April 2021.

The trials were due to be held from 14-19 April 2020 at the same venue in the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park – which staged the swimming programme at the 2012 Olympics and the scene of Adam Peaty‘s first 100br world record – only to be cancelled as the coronavirus wreaked havoc.

British Swimming announced the new dates on Tuesday morning with the event also due to serve as qualification for the world and European Junior Championships.

The senior continental showcase is to be held from 10-23 May at the Duna Arena, Budapest, where the ISL came to a spectacular conclusion on Sunday.

They also revealed a new format where a second heats session will be included in the daily programme while the qualification times required to compete in London will be backdated to March 2019.

2020 Cotic Flare 27.5 mountain bike jumps to 135mm of UK steel & alloy trail-ready travel

Originally developed as a trail-focused version of their UK-made Rocket enduro full-suspension bike, Cotic’s all-rounder Flare gets bumped up to 135mm for the new year. The Flare is Cotic’s shorter travel 27.5? wheeled version of their DropLink linkage-driven single pivot suspension design, pairing a premium steel front end to a stiff aluminum rear for a solid performing trail bike for almost any terrain. And now, thanks to a bit of extra travel from the Cane Creek DB Air IL rear shock, it’s more capable than ever.

AN ENGLISH CONVERSATION LESSON ABOUT UK WILD SWIMMING

Today we have a lesson focused on English conversation, a conversation about wild swimming in the UK. Being surrounded by water means [most] around 75% people in the UK learn to swim at an early age. However, many of those swimmers are turning to rivers, ponds, lakes and the sea to swim rather than use the thousands of swimming pools throughout the UK.
Listening to native English speakers is an efficient way to acquire the English language. Finding free, high quality English lessons which focus on helping you listen to English, understand what you hear, that come with a full English transcript is why Adept English exists.
?Our approach in helping you learn to speak English is different to a traditional English language learning approach, we focus on listening to English audio lessons, so you train your brain to acquire English. We use modern learning techniques like spaced repetition and our 7 rules, listen and learn system incorporates the psychology of how you learn to help you learn quickly while having fun.
We explain all of this on our free English course [The 7 Rules Of Adept English], so sign up for that if you want to know more.
