Come on, everybody's nicked something from work … haven't they?
I used to work for a large American investment bank. No, seriously. Not on the trading floor though, or in mergers and acquisitions. I was in maintenance, a gofer. I wore a white boiler suit, I had a tool kit and an orange trolley. I moved things, I fixed things, I crawled around under the desks of the masters of the universe.
And I nicked things. Not on a grand scale. I wasn't snaffling euro bonds or transferring millions to my offshore account (though I would have if I'd known how). No, I took stuff from the store cupboards. Coffee mainly – catering-size tins of Nescafé, which I gave to my friends (more wealth distribution than theft). And cleaning products. Loo paper, obviously, and stationery. Ink cartridges were probably the most valuable thing I took.
I'm not proud; it was stealing. But nor am I very ashamed. Given the scale of it, the enormous wealth of the company, the salaries of those people (literally) above me, my poverty at the time ... well, was it really so bad?
These are the kind of issues that are explored in Tony Basgallop's Inside Men (BBC1). We're not in a bank here, but a security deposit, a big warehouse full of cash that people are employed to count (do these places exist?). A couple of the guys who work there – a security guard and a warehouse man, both of whom have financial problems (plus these are difficult economic times, we're constantly reminded) – are siphoning a bit off. Fifty grand actually, but that's little compared with the millions there. Still much bigger than my level, but again victimless ...
Except it's not. There is a victim: poor, uptight, number-crunching gamma-male depot manager John (so excellently played by Steven Mackintosh). Very insecure, to be managing a security depot. Up until now, he's covered any losses out of his own pocket (as well as winning manager of the month competition every month). But 50 grand? That's out of the question, especially now with a new adopted daughter. Anyway, he tells the two culprits after catching them, what's the point of putting your hand in the till if you're only going to pull out 50 grand? Why not take the lot?
Whoa, is timid, stuttering John suggesting a heist, on his own depot? In fact, that's where the whole thing starts off – a proper robbery, with men in scary masks, pump-action shotguns, a blown-off knee-cap, screaming staff. John looks like the victim here: they're holding his wife and new daughter hostage at home, he has to help the masked men help themselves, to millions. Then we jump back a few months, and begin to work forwards, through the two employees' thieving, and John's discovery of them. So do they then team up, are they behind the big one? Is this mild-mannered John's master plan?
It looks that way. It also looks as if we've almost caught up with ourselves, the past with the future. Can there really be three more episodes?
There must be more twists and turns. And I'll be tuning in. It's great. A tense, knuckle-gnawing thriller, with a lovely stark industrial quality to it – refreshingly unflashy, unOcean's Eleven. They are great characters – real and believable, not just John but Marcus (Warren Brown) and security guard Chris (Ashley Waters) too. And at its heart there are interesting issues and questions of morality. Perhaps more relevant to some of us than to others ...
Oh, come on, everyone's done stationery, haven't they? No? OK, the coffee and ink cartridges were wrong. And if any of my current bosses are reading, that's obviously all in the past. Just my gym stuff in the bag ...
So how does Raymond Blanc: The Very Hungry Frenchman (BBC2) go? The famous French chef is pottering around France – his own home region of Franche-Comté in this first one – in his 2CV. He tastes, he eats, he cooks, he chuckles and says "Ooh la la". He drops in on his mum, and some old pals, he eats some more, says "Ooh la la" some more. He visits a Comté factory,.....

Could an edible window box change the world, asks Helen Babbs
All is still quiet in the world of the window boxes and, in a 90cm x 12cm place where nothing much happens, it's tempting to start thinking big. Peering at my plants through the bathroom window, I've started wondering what it's all about. Is a decision to grow things on the ledge of a building I will never call my own, in the chaos that is Holloway, about more than decoration? Is urban growing a kind of activism?
Let's focus on food. An edible window box isn't going to change the world but it could be part of a wider movement that just might. The minute you start growing your own, no matter how small the scale, you become aware of others who are doing the same. Some urban growers are protesting with their produce – a positive kind of protest that explores alternative ways of living and working.
Grow Heathrow has returned a derelict market garden back to its former productive glory, while challenging stereotypes about squatting and highlighting environmental issues. I ask William Ronan from the project if he sees urban growing as activism. "The way in which we meet our basic need to feed ourselves is deeply political, and political movements have a rich history in making food a focus of their organising."
"Instead of lobbying power-holders through methods like petitions, marching and media stunts, urban food growing puts political power in the hands of the community. We remove our reliance on food systems that destroy eco-systems, manipulate workers and enrich the bank balances of corporation shareholders. We don't have to eat vegetables tainted with chemicals, air miles and poverty wages."
In Hackney, Growing Communities actively challenges agribusiness and supermarket dominance by growing tonnes of inner city salad and promoting community led trade. Kerry Rankine from the social enterprise says urban growing "concentrates people's minds on how much effort goes into producing the food we all take for granted. For many, it's a way to start thinking about alternatives".
While Kerry thinks small-scale growing can be a form of activism, she believes as a means of creating change it's not a great lever by itself. Urban growing is part of wider changes that need to be made, including supporting small farmers around cities and mentoring new growers.
So what would an activist's window box look like, if William and Kerry were pushed to indulge me? It would be sown with rare varieties not sold by mainstream companies, and with locally sourced seed. An activist grower would reject the often sterile F1 Hybrid seed that's wiping out old varieties of veg.
Kerry and I even think about window box potatoes, specifically the rare 1918 'Arran Victory'. It's an ambitious plan requiring a deep container and a very sturdy ledge, but one that emphasises that experimenting with heritage edibles is a key way to transform a passive box into an active one. Sounds like an excuse for a Seedy Sunday.

People are being urged to wash fruit and vegetable as salmonella newport infects 35 people across the UK
Health watchdogs have reminded people to wash fruit and vegetables, as they investigate whether a salmonella outbreak in which 35 people in the UK are known to have been infected is linked to watermelons.
One person has died, although it is understood they had underlying health complications.
Eastern England has been the area most affected by the outbreak of salmonella newport, the Health Protection Agency (HPA) said. Those with the infection ranged from age six months to 85.
Bob Adak, head of the gastrointestinal diseases department at the HPA, which is investigating 30 cases in England, Wales and Northern Ireland, said: "Although it's too soon to say with certainty what the likely cause of infection is, early indications suggest that a number of people became unwell after eating watermelon. This has also been noted in the cases in Scotland and Germany, although further investigation is ongoing.
"It's important to remember that the risk of becoming unwell after eating watermelon is very low. These cases only represent a very small proportion of total consumption. It is always advisable to wash fruits and vegetables – including watermelon – before consumption to reduce the risk of possible illness."
All of the cases in England, Wales and Northern Ireland were reported in December. Health Protection Scotland said none of the five cases there were reported to have needed hospital treatment and no new cases had been reported since early last month.
Infection with salmonella newport causes a similar illness to other forms of salmonella, with symptoms including diarrhoea, vomiting, abdominal pain and fever.
The HPA said it had identified salmonella newport from a ready-to-eat sliced watermelon imported from Brazil, in a local food survey in north-west England in November 2011. Subsequently, a number of people who became unwell were found to be infected with the same strain identified in the survey.
Ten out of 15 cases followed up by telephone interview reported eating watermelon in the three days prior to the onset of their symptoms, although the agency did not know where their fruit had come from.
An agency spokeswoman said: "Further investigations by the FSA [Food Standards Agency] are ongoing and as soon as any particular producer or distributor of infected watermelons has been identified, steps will be put in place to inform the public and remove any affected items from the food chain."
There were two possible routes of infection. Either the melon surface was contaminated and the bug transferred to flesh during the cutting process or it may have transferred through the cut stem while the melons were stored or washed in contaminated water.
The FSA ,which is involved in the investigations, said it was monitoring the situation and working closely with the food industry, the European commission and other countries. Five cases have been reported in Ireland and 15 in Germany.
In a normal year, about 200 people in England, Wales and Northern Ireland are infected with this type of salmonella newport strain. Last year there was a big outbreak in Germany and the Netherlands caused by bean sprouts. Germany also experienced a big E coli outbreak linked to bean sprouts.

We're looking for the best budget eats in Cheltenham and Gloucester. Can you help? Review our chosen 10, then have your say on the Word of Mouth blog
Calling the Cotswolds! Shout out to Stroud! Big up Stow-on-the-Wold! Yes, the Guardian's crack squad of cheap chow aficionados (that'll be me, then) has been busy running the gastronomic rule over Cheltenham and Gloucester, in a bid to find a variety of venues where visitors can eat well, on a budget, between race meetings and cathedral tours.
Regular Word of Mouth readers will know the drill by now: you need to be able to eat for under £10 a head. That means the list might range from a sensational chippy or sandwich shop to a great gastropub or a good restaurant that does a notably cheap lunch. You can review my choices in Gloucester and Cheltenham here.
But, as ever, this post is more an opportunity to chew over the places that I either missed or couldn't get to. My 10 included Vanilla, El Bahdja, Pepper's, Blue Thai, Svea and the Swan, but what of Cheltenham's Gusto (recommended to me by a couple of in-the-know locals, but they were shutting-up shop at just gone four, on a Thursday, despite what it says on the website) or Gloucester's C&W African Experience? The latter is a reputedly brilliant find, but it was closed at lunch the day I was in town.
In Gloucester, I was also stymied in my attempts to try a Pilgrim's Pie. It sounds great, but the cathedral cafe was having none of my attempt to get them to serve me one before midday. Did I miss out? I recently wrote a tongue-in-cheek preview of how 2012 was going to pan out in food, in which I predicted that the coming together of several key restaurant industry trends (specialisation, austerity, speed) would lead to someone opening a venue that sold nothing but toast. Little did I know that down at Gloucester docks this is already a reality. Kind of. On Toast serves all sorts of gubbins: from cheddar, leeks and tabasco, to (yes, I realise how ridiculous this sounds) Mars Bars and Curly Wurlys, either on or in toast. Frankly, my mackerel, lemon and horseradish didn't work. Lemon juice doesn't react well to being heated in a Breville. But are there better savoury options?
Over in Cheltenham, there were quite a few places that, for a variety of reasons, just failed to make my shortlist. Should sausage and mash specialists the Railway have made the cut? Is the cream tea at the Daffodil one to bear in mind? Is Brosh all it's cracked up to be? I felt it would be squeezing it in, slightly - over other, more useful venues - to include its evening bar menu, from which you would only be able to afford two or three tapas dishes for under £10. Would they satisfy an appetite? If you're picky about what you eat, would it nonetheless be worth visiting Brosh and sticking to tap water?
The Royal Well Tavern has a good rep, but is currently closed for a refurb. Is it one to check next time around? Heading out of town, is the Royal Oak in Prestbury worth visiting at lunch? Has anyone out there tried interesting Ullenwood social enterprise, the Star Bistro? And what of the Cotswolds' hinterland? Can you suggest other competitively priced destinations as good as the deli at Made by Bob in Cirencester?

Owners play new music and translate menus into Arabic amid surge in visitors from Middle East
In the Turkish restaurants around Taksim Square in Istanbul, the menus are getting a new look. It's not so much the food that is changing but the languages, as more and more restaurateurs choose to include Arabic.
Erkan Ali Karabulut, manager of Cafe Eylül in the touristic Talimhane district near the square, is reprinting his menus this year. "If you speak Arabic with Arabic tourists, they see you as a friend, and feel more comfortable," he said.
"But sometimes I get negative reactions from Turks. 'Why is everything here in Arabic?' they ask. They get very jealous." Pointing to the list of MP3 songs on his laptop, he added: "I now play English music, as a compromise. But in the evenings, it's all Arabic."
Turkey has made much over the past year of its growing influence in the Arab world. Less well documented is the growing Arab influence within Turkey. The Turkish tourism sector, once the preserve of semi-adventurous westerners, is now dominated by Arabs. Last year, there were approximately 3 million visitors from Arab countries.
Abdullah Korun, owner of the Haci Abdullah restaurant in Beyoglu, said about two-thirds of his patrons now came from Arab countries: "This increase started about two years ago," he said.
"I think that Turkey's much improved dialogue and co-operation with Arab countries is the main reason for this development. Turkish businessmen are now profiting from our government's foreign policies."
Arab diners are, moreover, a more generous, Epicurean bunch than their European counterparts.
Ramazan Bingöl, head of the Association of All Restaurants, Eateries and Suppliers and owner of the Ramazan Bingöl Et restaurant, said: "Ten Arab guests spend as much money as 40 guests from a western country. They don't come with tour buses, and do not want to eat fixed menus at a fixed price."
According to numbers published by the Turkish tourism industry, Arab tourists spent approximately £1,700 per person in shops and restaurants, nearly four times as much as western tourists.
Shopping centres, one of the main attractions to many Arab tourists, have started to adapt their marketing strategies: Cevahir mall, where Arabs constitute 80% of all foreign shoppers, has put up a tax-free office at its entrance and organises autograph sessions with Turkish actors, many of whom are very popular in the Arab world, owing to the success of Turkish TV series there.
One restaurant in the Forum Istanbul, another shopping centre popular with Arab tourists, took all pork-based meals off its menu. Several restaurant managers in Cevahir mall said they would add Arabic translations to their menus this year.
Cemil Kahraman, managing director of an Italian restaurant in the shopping centre, said that the display of alcoholic drinks did not keep out diners from Arab countries or from Iran.
"Some ask us to prepare sauces without wine, but that's all. We offer a halal menu as well." He laughed. "But not all of them care, and some are happy to enjoy Italian cuisine, and a good glass of wine at the side."
There is a knock-on benefit for the approximately 1 million ethnic Arabs who live in Turkey, mostly in the south-eastern regions. Their language skills are in ever higher demand in tourism hotspots – and in restaurants.
"[Restaurants] used to look for English-speaking staff, but now Arabic has become more important for many of them," said Bingöl.
In his own restaurant he has noticed a 40% increase of diners from Arabic countries in the last year alone.
"Most of them come from the Gulf countries, from Bahrain, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the Emirates," he said.
"They feel comfortable about travelling in Turkey because we share many things culturally. Taste-wise their own cuisine is very close to that of Turkey, too."

Small children require vitamin D to keep bones strong and healthy, but they rarely get the intake they need from the food they're eating
How could we have forgotten about vitamin D? Suddenly newspapers are reporting that one in four toddlers do not get enough and rickets is emerging again. The chief medical officer in England, Dame Sally Davies, has reminded doctors that children under five are one of a number of groups who need supplements. A recent survey of health professionals found most didn't know this.
Without vitamin D, bones become soft and bend in the middle, giving the typical rickets appearance of bow legs. A deficiency can cause muscle weakness, fatigue and an increased risk of infections because of damage to cells in the immune system, in particular TB.
But why should a healthy child, eating a varied diet, need supplements? Since some of the noise about vitamin D comes from Feeding for Life – sponsored by Cow & Gate, which happens to make milk products with vitamin D in them – isn't this just a push from the industry?
The solution
More than 90% of vitamin D comes from ultraviolet B rays hitting the skin and converting a type of cholesterol into vitamin D. If you have fair skin you need to be outside for only 13 minutes between 10am and 3pm, two to three times a week in summer, to get enough – any longer and you'll need sunscreen. If you have darker skin, you need at least twice as much sun.
The problem with getting vitamin D from food is that most children aren't mad on oily fish, mushrooms and egg yolks. Colin Michie of the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health is adamant all children under five need vitamin D supplements: "The diet of the average under-five does not provide enough," he says. They "don't run around and play in the sunshine. Our lifestyles are putting us in the position where we have to buy supplements."
Guidelines from the health watchdog Nice say children under five should have vitamin D supplements. I don't give them to my child and I don't know many doctors who do. But if it's good enough for Nice and the Royal College, then maybe we should all start.

Despite a quota system to boost female participitation, the gender imbalance is still heavily skewed towards men
If you attended the opening address by Angela Merkel or the private dinner in which Nobel laureate Leymah Gbowee held a group of financiers in thrall with her life story, you might think that fabulous, powerful women dominate Davos. But the fact is, Davos has a woman problem.
The first day, which included honours for the Japanese violinist Midori and a screening of the biopic of Aung San Suu Kyi, may have ended with a party to "honour women innovators" such as the web entrepreneur Arianna Huffington. with guests departing into the snowy darkness of Davos to the rousing sounds of the 1980s disco classic Ladies' Night. And the biggest day of this year's World Economic Forum (WEF) on Friday may include a main room event discussing "women as the way forward".
But while the impact of women this year may be bigger than ever, organisers keen to encourage and then trumpet their success cannot hide the fact that their numbers are still small.
Despite a new quota system demanding that the largest members send one woman for every four men, just 17% of the 2,500 delegates are female. Despite a push to encourage more women on to panels to discuss the issues of the day, just 20% of those invited to do so are women. The majority of panels, especially on key economic topics, are still dominated by (white) men.
Although the days are long gone when one female delegate was asked to leave an event because security assumed she must be a spouse without the required permit, the majority of the women in Davos are not there as participants. Only newcomers to Davos seem to consider this fact remarkable, with the odd feminist exception such as Helen Clark. The former prime minister of New Zealand turned administrator of the United Nations Development Programme called the female participation rate "pathetic". The leader who appointed so many senior women to her cabinet that Benetton ran an airport advertising campaign welcoming visitors to the "women's republic of New Zealand" called for organisers to commit to the millennium development goal of 30% female participation by 2015. "Or why not next year? They should just go and look for the women. In one stroke, participation would go up."
There is little support for such intervention among organisers, who argue that Davos merely reflects a world in which women lead just 3% of the biggest companies in the US and UK and make up 17% of its parliaments. Saadia Zahidi, the WEF's head of constituents who is spearheading the gender programme, calls this the "external glass ceiling" about which an annual meeting of top people can do nothing.
Roger Carr, the chairman of Centrica who is leading efforts to get more women appointed to British boards, agrees. "Davos is a special place populated by the most senior decision makers. The fact is that the number of women in that position is quite small. Davos is just the symptom of something that happened way, way back." Centrica sends just two delegates and both the chief executive and chairman happen to be men.
With the cost of the meeting astronomical – delegates have to pay for five nights' stay as a minimum – not to mention the annual membership fees of about £100,000 for the strategic partners subject to the quota, many companies are happy to talk the talk while hoping that others do the walking.
So why even bother to set a quota? Why not simply accept the status quo at an event which sums up a world governed by just 1% of its population? Is the whole gender parity programme part of a cynical PR exercise to encourage a belief that the most powerful people in the world care about half the world's population?
There are two answers to this from within Davos. The first, that it is not a numbers exercise but good business, is summed up by Carr when he says: "This is nothing to do with PR. It's just good business. I've sat on single gender boards....

Alan Connor demystifies each type of cryptic crossword clue for beginners and asks experienced solvers to share their favourite examples. This week: initial letters
In this series, I hope that newcomers can equip themselves with the tools of the solver's trade, while aficionados can enjoy some prime examples of the art of setting.
We've looked at hidden answers, double definitions and soundalikes; now it's time for initial letters.
If you've been following the series, you may be wondering why we haven't yet tackled the staple diet of the setter: the anagram. But the anagram can wait. And nervous newcomers should remember that here we're looking at clues in isolation; in a genuine puzzle environment, you'd have some letters from other clues, considerably lightening the solving load.How it works
So. We're looking at a device which asks you as solver to take the initial letters of a string of words in the clue. Remember, a cryptic clue typically gives you two chances to get the answer: a definition found either at the beginning or the end, and some wordplay; sometimes the wordplay is made up entirely of this process of decapitating words and gathering together the heads.
Here's an example, from Rufus:
12ac Starts to serve time in Russian prison (4)
The start to "serve" - its first letter - is "S". And so the starts to "serve time in Russian" are S, T, I and R for STIR - a synonym for prison and not a word in the clue wasted.
Such clues don't always start with "Starts to..." - and where would be the challenge in that? But you might find "start" slightly hidden somewhere else in the clue, as with Orlando's...
22d Black and white lamb starts to cry (4)
...where if you take the "starts" of the previous four words, you should be having a BAWL.
You should also keep a lookout for variants of "start", as with Brummie's clue...
29d Never offer drunk eggnog starters, bud! (4)
...for NODE and for other words with a similar sense, as with Bunthorne's clue...
23d Does he lead prayer for openers? Is Mohammed a Muslim? (4)
...for IMAM.It's not always that simple
As we explore the types of cryptic clues, we often find at this point that the device we're getting used to might be used backwards. So it is with initial letters and here's a clue from the Times in which the hint that this is happening is wittily concealed:
6ac Face protection racket or swindle in village: heads must roll! (5)
So we're taking the first letters of "racket", "or", "swindle", "in" and "village" and rolling them back to give us VISOR.
And of course, many clues use more than one device to get you to the answer. Here's Philistine:
19ac I forgot to mention at the start, so try and pay attention! (4)
Before we get to the initial letters, we have "I forgot to mention", which you might indicate by writing "PS" at the end of a message. Then we're asked for the starting letters of "so" and "try", S and T. Whack them together and you get an expression for "pay attention": PSST.
I know what you're thinking now: "Hey, perhaps those clues which use more than one device can work in back-to-front way too! Am I right?"
As Paul proves, you are right:
26ac Sporting arenas support all temporary staff, initially, in retirement (6)
The definition comes first this time. Then we take a word for "support", AID and the first letters of "all", "temporary" and "staff", ATS. Finally we "retire" or reverse the lot to give us STADIA.
For the next clue, "macaroni" is an old term for a dandy, by the way, especially one who's travelled abroad and eaten poncy foreign food - but we don't need to worry about that to see how the "initial letters" device works differently here.
So here's another twist: on the basis of what we've seen so far, you'd expect "starts to manage estate" to indicate ME. Not in this Times clue:
17d Old dandy starts to manage estate for example on island (8)
This one should be read as "starts to manage" giving the two letters at the start of "manage"...
