While UK employers are legally permitted to ask job applicants about their current salary, candidates are not obliged to answer. Campaigners and recruitment bodies have urged employers to stop asking for salary history to prevent perpetuating historic pay inequalities, and new EU rules will ban the practice. However, the UK has no current plans for a ban, focusing instead on publishing salary information in job adverts. Experts advise jobseekers to focus on their skills, experience, market rates, and salary expectations rather than disclosing previous pay.

Organisers of Jersey's annual cider festival, La Faîs'sie d'Cidre, are appealing for apple donations after poor weather and heatwaves severely impacted this year's harvest. Jersey Heritage normally gathers 80 sacks of apples from its main orchard, but expects to yield only about two sacks. While the festival will still take place on 17 and 18 October at Hamptonne Country Life Museum, the format may be adapted with fewer demonstrations and less fresh juice tasting, though last year's vintage cider will remain available.

Residents of the Orchard Park housing estate in Hull are sharing their memories, photographs, and stories as part of a project led by the charity Back to Ours. Built in the 1960s as an ambitious 330-acre development based on the Radburn design, the estate initially promised numerous amenities that never materialised. While the area has faced modern challenges, including being highlighted as a 'left behind' neighbourhood with issues such as anti-social behaviour, many residents fondly remember a strong sense of community and a positive upbringing. The collected stories form an exhibition at the Orchard Centre before transferring to the Hull History Centre.
