Lamb can be one of the most tender meats and is delicious when cooked and eaten off the bone. Here are some different lamb recipes which afford a great way to cook and enjoy lamb.

Lamb Curry

Almost everyone enjoys a good curry and lamb is a perfect meat for it. Lamb can be used to make a mild Rogan Josh or a much hotter Jalfrezi.

Chunky Lamb Stew

This is an ideal lamb recipe for colder nights, or just for when you’re particularly hungry. The advantage of a lamb stew is that once you have prepared the ingredients it can be left on its own to cook whilst you entertain your guests, or relax in front of the TV.

Aromatic Lamb

This is one of those lamb recipes that you have to be prepared to wait for, as for the best flavour you should leave the lamb to marinate for 24 hours with ingredients like pepper, honey and rosemary.

Braised Lamb Casserole

This is another one of those lamb recipes for a cold day. Lamb casserole needs to simmer for around 90 minutes with all of the ingredients in a large casserole pot, but it’s well worth the wait!

Grilled Lamb Chops

Lamb chops are one of the simplest lamb recipes, yet it is also one of the tastiest. Lamb chops should generally be served with mint sauce and new potatoes and make a perfect Sunday lunch.

Serving in the Armed Forces is an understandably dangerous occupation. Even so, soldiers injured in the line of duty are just as entitled to make claims for military injuries as any member of the public is entitled to claim compensation for injuries. The MOD is also just as liable as an employer to be sued for negligence by soldiers injured while serving their country if the law proves that the MOD has been negligent. Negligence on the part of the MOD could, for example, extend to supplying inadequate safety equipment to soldiers.

Any soldiers who have suffered military injuries can make a claim under The Armed Forces Compensation Scheme, which has been set up specifically to cater for military claims for compensation for injuries. The scheme has been created to compensate soldiers for injuries, and even death, suffered in the line of duty. The compensation scheme is also open to all regular members of the Armed Forces and Gurkhas, and relates to injuries or deaths suffered since 6th April 2005.

The scheme offers compensation for claims for military injuries on a scale of 1-15, with level 1 being the most serious.Any soldiers who have suffered military injuries can make a claim under The Armed Forces Compensation Scheme, which has been set up specifically to cater for military claims for compensation for injuries.

Car parking at Stansted airport is well thought out, considering that it is the UK’s fourth largest airport serving 19 million customers a year, operating 20 airlines covering 114 destinations, and all with just one runway and one terminal. You’d think things would be cramped and possibly hard to find, but the airport offers a wide range of parking options and at prices which are competitive considering the location of this airport.

Stansted airport offers a number of different parking options, from short stay to mid stay and from long stay to meet-and-greet or valet services. The short stay car parking, which requires no advanced booking, is primarily aimed at providing a suitable service for those who are dropping passengers off or picking them up. It is very close to the main terminal and is charged at £2.60 for up to an hour. However, the first 15 minutes are free which is well worth knowing, and if you can drop off or pick your passengers up quickly then parking will not cost you anything.

For stays of a day or more you can choose from either the mid stay or long stay car parks. The mid stay car parks are just 5 minutes from the terminal by shuttle bus and cost £12.50 per 24 hour period. Although there’s no need to book in advance, the advantage of doing so will mean that a place is guaranteed for you: there is no guarantee if you just turn up, and as this is a busy airport it’s best not to leave your parking arrangements to chance.

The long stay parking is the best option if you’re leaving your car at the airport while you go away on holiday and represents the best value for money if you book in advance. The shuttle bus will collect you, running every 8 minutes during peak times, and every 20 minutes off peak.

The long stay car parking at Stansted airport incorporates a great deal of security, including high security fencing, monitored CCTV coverage and regular patrols. In addition, the long stay car parks include parking for Blue Badge holders, and these 130 bays have been built to the best modern standards, offering all of the space and facilities you require. However, in order to be able to take advantage of this option you are highly recommended to book in advance to be sure of getting one of these spaces should you need it.

You may also be interested to note that Stansted airport parking has a number of other facilities in its long stay car parks, which are not often seen at other locations. This includes a number of oversized bays which are suitable for camper vans or for cars with trailers. Again, however, to be certain of being able to obtain one of these, book in advance because they are limited.

If you do not book in advance then not only are you not guaranteed to be able to find the kind of bay you require, but you will also be charged the roll-up rate of £9 per 24 hours, or part thereof, which makes it much more expensive, and you can obtain discounts of up to 60% by booking in advance.

There are two further options to consider besides the short stay, medium stay and long stay car parks and these are the park and sleep, and the meet and greet services.

The park and sleep service is one offered by the local hotels, including the De Salis hotel. Imagine being able to turn up at the hotel, park your car and then enjoy a night’s rest before you fly. In the morning, or whenever your flight departs, you catch the free shuttle bus from outside the hotel entrance, and just 5 minutes later you’re at the terminal. At the end of your holiday you call a number and your car is brought to you at the terminal within a few minutes. The parking at these hotels is, in many cases, free, and so all you pay is for your one night’s accommodation.

Alternatively the meet and greet service, sometimes referred to as a valet or chauffeur service, is one which allows minimal hassle, and is ideal if you have elderly or disabled passengers, children or a lot of heavy or bulky luggage to take. This service completely eliminates any requirement for travelling or using shuttle busses. Just turn up outside the terminal and your chauffeur will meet you, help you unpack your luggage from the vehicle, and will then drive your car away for you, to be parked in a secure facility.

At the end of the holiday, your chauffeur will drive your car back to the terminal for you. At just £49 for 8 days, this is not an expensive option at all, and as far as car parking at Stansted airport is concerned, it’s the easiest, simplest and most hassle free option available.
