How’s this for rather unfortunate domain names:
I use the BBC iPlayer. Every so often. It’s pretty good.
Only problem on my system is that the iPlayer does not like staying fullscreened on one monitor if I need to use the other screen (same issue with all other flash viewers it seems). Next best alternative is to view the video in the pop-out window; unfortunately, the window is rather small. Rather than try to fix the fullscreen issue, I found that adjusting the flash object dimensions manually did the trick. This does get rather tedious, but luckily, I have Greasemonkey installed.
Writing this was quite straightforward: this is a simple script which resizes the pop-out window to a nice size (HD-ready view of 1280×720), and allows you to resize the player by resizing the window (big criticism of the default behaviour).The bulk of the code is along these lines:
player.width = 1280;
player.height = 834; // 720 + 114px of iPlayer chrome
resizeToPlayer(player); //window.resizeTo(1286,916)
window.addEventListener('resize', function() { resizeToWindow(player); }, true);
Install Greasemonkey if not already (Firefox only), and install this script from the userscripts.org page.

New homes in England are smaller than those in Europe (I’d like them to compare these to housing in Hong Kong / Japan though!)

Lactose Intolerance by groups – the text after the chart is particularly interesting regarding children’s tolerances. Whilst as babies they can consume milk happily, apparently 85% of Chinese & Japanese children will have lactose intolerance by the age of 10, though most could consume 200ml of milk with no issues.
