The 111-year-old from England, United Kingdom, John Alfred Tinniswood is now the world’s oldest living man and he says his longevity was “just luck”. Born in 1912, Tinniswood said there is no special secret to his diet, although he eats fish and chips every Friday.

<h2>World’s oldest man</h2>

Guinness World Records (GWR) confirmed that Tinniswood is now the world’s oldest man after the death of Juan Vicente Pérez Mora, 114, earlier this month.&nbsp;

The Guinness also awarded the title to the 111-year-old after 112-year-old Gisaburo Sonobe, from Japan, was confirmed to have died on March 31.&nbsp;

As of April 5, Tinniswood&nbsp;was&nbsp;111 years and 223 days old, according to the GWR.&nbsp;

Born in Liverpool, on August 26, 1912 – the same year that the Titanic sank – Tinniswood is currently living at a care home in Southport, where the staff has reportedly described him as a “big chatterbox”.

Speaking about the secret to his longevity, he said, “You either live long or you live short, and you can’t do much about it.”&nbsp;

Tinniswood also said that he does not follow any particular diet except for eating a portion of battered fish and chips every Friday.&nbsp;

“I eat what they give me and so does everybody else. I don’t have a special diet,” he told the Guinness World Records official.&nbsp;

The 111-year-old does not smoke and rarely drinks alcohol and his advice for staying healthy is to practice moderation.&nbsp;

“If you drink too much or you eat too much or you walk too much; if you do too much of anything, you’re going to suffer eventually,” said Tinniswood.&nbsp;

Notably, the 111-year-old was not fazed when he became the world’s oldest man, having become the oldest man in the UK in 2020. “Doesn’t make any difference to me,” he said.&nbsp;

<h2>About his life</h2>

The 111-year-old is a great-grandfather, has lived through both world wars and is the world’s oldest surviving male World War II&nbsp;veteran.&nbsp;

Tinniswood was 27 when the Second World War broke out, and despite having eyesight issues served an administrative role for the Army Pay Corps.&nbsp;

After the war, the 111-year-old went on to work in accounts for Shell and BP up until his retirement more than 50 years ago.&nbsp;

He met his wife, Blodwen, at a dance in Liverpool and one of his fondest memories is of their wedding in 1942. The couple was together for 44 years before Blodwen passed away in 1986.

Tinniswood has four grandchildren and three great-grandchildren. Since he turned 100, in 2012, he has received a birthday card each year from the late Queen Elizabeth.&nbsp;

His advice to the younger generation is, “Always do the best you can, whether you’re learning something or whether you’re teaching someone.”&nbsp;

He added, “Give it all you’ve got. Otherwise it’s not worth bothering with.”

UK: Rishi Sunak undecided on general elections

An unusual artwork of a toilet seat made of gold was stolen from an English stately home back in 2019, and now its burglar pleaded guilty to stealing the same. The toilet titled “America” is made from 18-carat gold and costs more than $6 million. It was first installed at Blenheim Palace in 2019, which is also the birthplace of Winston Churchill.&nbsp;

James Sheen, 39, pleaded guilty to burglary on Tuesday, as reported by UK’s PA Media news agency.

The toilet was designed by an Italian artist Maurizio Cattelan, and&nbsp;was displayed at an exhibition called “Victory is Not an Option” in 2019, and was stolen in September 2019.&nbsp;

The peculiar toilet seat laden with real gold was plumbed into the building, so the theft also caused major damage and flooding, as per the police.

Sheen was already serving his 17-year sentence at Five Wells Prison for various thefts when he appeared in court via video link and pleaded guilty to the charge.

He also stole tractors and high-value trophies in the past from the National Horse Racing Museum in Newmarket, worth $503,000.

“America” first went on display at the Guggenheim in New York City in 2016. It made headlines again in 2017, after then US President Trump’s White House emailed the Guggenheim asking to borrow Vincent Van Gogh’s 1888 painting “Landscape with Snow”; instead, the institution’s curator offered the gold toilet.

At the Blenheim Palace, the toilet was installed in a room next to where Churchill was born.&nbsp;

But why was the toilet named “America”? Well, as per an official statement from the exhibition, the golden toilet could be perceived as a comment on the social, political and economic disparities in the US.

Commenting on the work, Cattelan previously told the New Yorker: “Whatever you eat, a two-hundred-dollar lunch or a two-dollar hot dog, the results are the same, toilet-wise.”&nbsp;

He also described the work as “1% art for the 99%.”

Three other men were also charged in connection with the toilet’s theft, but they haven’t pleaded guilty yet.&nbsp; 
Michael Jones, 38, accused of burglary; and Frederick Sines, Bora Guccuck, 40 are both accused of conspiracy to transfer the criminal property. All men are due for trial in February next year.

Trigger warning: Some readers may find the details of this report disturbing. Discretion is advised.

A former UK teacher who is in jail for raping a child while working as the deputy head at a primary school has now been banned from ever teaching again.

44-year-old Julie Morris was imprisoned for filming the abuse as she and her boyfriend David Morris, 52, raped a schoolgirl aged 13.

As per a Metro UK report, the duo made their "graphic and depraved" plans a "sordid" reality.

<h2>Locked up</h2>

Julie Morris was locked up in December 2021 after admitting to 18 sex offences unrelated to her job as the 'safeguarding lead' at St George’s Central Primary School in Tyldesley, near Wigan.

Her partner, David Morris, a mechanic, was jailed for 16 years, with an additional four-year extended licence period, for a total of 34 offences. These include seven counts of rape and 13 counts of causing or inciting a child under 13 to engage in sexual activity.

Judge Andrew Menary, while sentencing the pair, had expressed shock, stating: "Every now and again you see cases, the circumstances of which are almost beyond belief."

"This is one of those cases. It demonstrates that human depravity really knows no depths."

Following this, her case was transferred to the Teaching Regulation Agency (TRA), which deals with cases of misconduct.

A three-person panel of the TRA concluded that the former teacher's actions were "fundamentally incompatible with her being a teacher."

"Her conduct ran counter to what should be at the very core of the practice of a teacher with a duty of care towards children," stated a report detailing the panel's findings.

The panel was of the opinion that Morris' actions in committing the rape and abuse "would undoubtedly affect public confidence in the teaching profession, particularly given the influence that teachers may have on pupils, parents, and others in the community".

It added that the fact she was also the safeguarding lead at the school "makes her offending all the more shocking in that, whilst the designated point of contact for welfare and safety concerns at the School, she herself was engaged in abusing a child, albeit not one at the school."

The panel also found that Morris' offences were "deliberate and sustained" and were not committed "under duress".

Concluding that there was a "real risk" of Morris repeating her offences, they banned her from teaching indefinitely on February 27.

This, as per the report, means that the now 46-year-old is barred from teaching in schools, sixth-form colleges, youth accommodations or children’s homes.

<h2>How was the couple caught?</h2>

The couple's 'sordid secret' came to light when police found a conversation about the sexual abuse of children on David's phone. The phone, which was seized during a search warrant, also had video recordings of rape and sexual abuse.

In one video, Julie Morris&nbsp;even filmed herself laughing as she abused a child she claimed was a willing participant.
