Now, Kitchen Rat gets sent a lot of crappy e-mails every day, but a press release that dropped into the inbox today really takes the biscuit.

"Do you have a taste for good food and wine?" it asks. "If so, you may be more likely to cheat (on your partner)."

Who says?  Those fine upstanding citizens at illicitencounters.com, "the UK's largest extra-marital dating site", that's who.

And how did the website come to this conclusion? It analysed the stated interests of its 310,000 members and 'Food and wine' was at number one, with around 144,000 members. Just below was 'Movies and Cinema' (142,000 members). 

Scientific then.

Funnily enough, "getting your rocks off with Debbie from accounts in the back of your Ford Focus" wasn't mentioned as a main interest of the philanderers on the website.

If you're going to have a Lean & Green campaign, as in the case of caterer Harbour & Jones (H&J), it goes without saying that you have to walk-the-walk and not just talk (a lot).

To this end Kevin Harrison, H&J's ever so slightly scarily-named compliance director, has e-mailed all staff to inform them they will be receiving their very own pedometers.

H&J staff are being challenged to record each mode of transport they use in their working week, and to see if they can get anywhere near a recommended 10,000 steps a day, which should make them both healthier and "greener", albeit in quite a few steps.

Although there's a quarterly prize to be won, Kitchen Rat has not yet confirmed if it is indeed a night out with H&J co-founder Nathan Jones, or whether the runner-up gets two nights out with Jones for their troubles.

However, Harrison does warn in his e-mail that anyone caught cheating by shaking their pedometers, getting creative with cab reciepts or doctoring other people's scores, will, without doubt, win three nights out with Jones. Consider yourself warned.
