No more inflating the crossed-out price just before a sale. Since 28 May 2022, an EU directive has required any announced price reduction to refer to the lowest price the seller charged in the previous 30 days. An item sold for €40 in early November then raised to €60 can't be advertised as '50% off' at €30 on Black Friday: the real cut is 25%. Worth remembering when a deal looks spectacular.
Chlorine on its own is fairly gentle. But when it combines with urine, sweat and other grime from swimmers, it forms chloramines, which cause stinging eyes and that classic 'chlorine smell'. A well-kept pool barely smells at all. Shower before you swim and never pee in the water.
Muscle mass slowly shrinks with age, putting independence at risk. But in 1990, a study had nursing home residents aged 86 to 96 train their legs for eight weeks: their strength more than doubled. Muscle responds to training at any age. Getting up from a chair without using your hands is already an exercise.
