You're Not Imagining It. Everyone Is Ruder

Why are we all so bloody rude? A new report shows retail workers are copping it worse than ever, and we’ve got a theory as to why.

And, the Princess Test: the Royals’ bizarre initiation ritual for new family members visiting Balmoral for the first time. Holly reveals what it involves—and asks if you’d survive it.

Plus, for 48 hours, the internet swore Donald Trump was dead. He’s not—but the rumours about the President's health aren’t going anywhere. Amelia’s got three clues to explain why this is one conspiracy that just won't die.
