Iconic fashion – The Polo Shirt
What do you consider to be the most iconic item of fashion in a man’s wardrobe? You may go for a classic pair of Levi’s, a tuxedo, maybe a Harrington jacket if you have an Mod in your life, but for me, the most iconic piece in a man’s wardrobe has to be the ageless, timeless polo shirt.

His love for his team, West Bromwich Albion has no bounds, he literally lives, eats (Match of the Day repeats with his breakfast anyone?) and sleeps – in a West Brom duvet of course – football. And, as well as loving his team with a unbridled passion that borders on obsession, he also likes to play a little… Joe has spent the year working with coaches from The Albion Foundation, a brilliant organisation that works in…

Coca-Cola Great Britain Parklives – Super fun in Brum
Earlier this year, Coca-Cola Great Britain launched its Parklives programme, in partnership with Active Parks Birmingham. This is a programme that has created hundreds of fun and free activity sessions designed with getting people out into the great outdoors in order to get fit and active, whilst enjoying a little socialising too.

Parklives activities run throughout the week and are free of charge. Yesterday I took Joe to check out one of the activities, with a little table tennis…
