Sommar i P1 is one of the most popular shows on Swedish radio. It has been broadcast every summer since 29 June 1959 as Sommar on P3 and since 1993 on P1; each 90-minute-long programme in the series –, broadcast daily from Midsummer's day until the middle of August at 13.00 and repeated in the late evening – is presented by a different, specially invited host who plays music of his or her own choosing and importantly, talks about a topic of personal relevance. Being invited to host the show has been compared to receiving a knighthood in Sweden, it has become the custom for each year's presenters to be featured in a group photograph, each wearing a floral crown known as a midsommarkrans as a mark of the "honour" bestowed upon them; the host has to be a speaker of Swedish. However, in 2014, intense international interest led to the production of an English-language edition presented by the YouTube celebrity PewDiePie. In the programme's early years the hosts – known as Sommarvärdar – were regular radio DJs who each presented several editions on a rotating basis, but the present formula of a different guest presenter each day emerged during the 1970s.

The original concept for the show came from the head of radio entertainment at Sveriges Radio, Tage Danielsson, producer Jörgen Cederberg, the first host. The programme's theme tune is Sommar, sommar, composed in 1951 by Sten Carlberg, with lyrics by Eric Sandström; the hosts range from celebrities to politicians, authors and royalty. Several prime ministers of Sweden and other Nordic countries have been hosts on the show. High-profile celebrities such as the actresses Anita Ekberg and Liv Ullmann and the film director Ingmar Bergman have all hosted their own Sommar show. Other hosts from the film industry include Academy Award winners and nominees such as Malik Bendjelloul, Kay Pollak, Tomas Alfredson, Paul N. J. Ottosson, and journalists like Magdi Abdelhadi. Members of ABBA and modern music stars such as Robyn or Maja Ivarsson from The Sounds, as well as authors such as Astrid Lindgren, Håkan Nesser and Karl Ove Knausgård have been hosts of their own shows. Other hosts have included such industry leaders as IKEA-founder Ingvar Kamprad and legendary Volvo CEO Pehr G. Gyllenhammar.

Niklas Zennström and Daniel Ek of Skype and Spotify fame have hosted their own shows. In June 2014, Sveriges Radio received over 70 formal complaints concerning an edition of Sommar presented by the poet and playwright Athena Farrokhzad; the show is broadcast on Swedish radio for a Swedish audience. However, in 2014, intense international interest led to the production of an English-language edition presented by YouTube celebrity PewDiePie. All of the shows are available for download from the Sommar website directly after broadcast. Since 2005, episodes of the show have been available as podcasts, with more than 800 broadcast editions available from an archive covering the period from 1963 to the present. At the annual press conference introducing each year's presenters the participants always appear wearing midsommarkrans floral head garlands. Since 2009, some of each year's presenters have appeared in the Sveriges Television show Sommarpratarna. Sommar at P1's website List of all hosts 1959–2016

Cannon Fodder 2: Once More unto the Breach, or Cannon Fodder 2, is an action-strategy shoot'em up game developed by Sensible Software and published by Virgin Interactive for the Amiga and DOS in November 1994. The game is the sequel to Cannon Fodder, a successful game released for multiple formats in 1993; the game is a combination of action and strategy involving a small number of soldiers battling through a time-travel scenario. The protagonists are outnumbered and killed; the player must rely on strategy and heavy secondary weapons to overcome enemies, their vehicles and installations. The game retained the mechanics and gameplay of its predecessor but introduced new levels and graphics. Former journalist Stuart Campbell designed the game's levels, making them harder and more tactically demanding, as well as introducing a multitude of pop culture references in the level titles; the development of the game's plot was hampered by budget constraints and the resulting lack of explanation confused reviewers.

Critics enjoyed the gameplay retained from the original Cannon Fodder but were disappointed at the lack of new mechanics or weapons, comparing the game to a data disk. Reviewers praised the game's level design, though less so those of its alien planet. Critics gave Cannon Fodder 2 positive reviews but lower scores than its predecessor and gave mixed criticism of the new theme music and increased difficulty. Cannon Fodder 2 shoot'em up elements; the player controls a small squad of up to four soldiers. These soldiers are armed with machine guns; the player's troops are fragile, while they possess superior fire-power at the game's outset the enemy infantry becomes more powerful as the game progresses. As well as foot soldiers, the antagonists include missile-armed turrets; the player must destroy buildings which spawn enemy soldiers. For these targets, which are invulnerable to machine gun fire, the player must use secondary, explosive weaponry: grenades and rockets. Ammunition for these weapons is limited and the player must find supply crates to replenish his troops.

Wasting these weapons can result in the player not having enough to fulfil the mission objectives. The player can opt to shoot crates – destroying enemy troops and buildings in the ensuing explosion – at less risk to his soldiers than retrieving them, but again at a greater risk of depleting ammunition; the player proceeds through 24 missions divided into several "phases" each, making 72 levels in all. There are various settings including medieval, gangster-themed Chicago, an alien spacecraft and an alien planet; the player must contend with mines and other booby traps. As well as shooting action, the game features strategy elements and employs a point-and-click control system more common to strategy than action games; as the player's troops are outnumbered and killed, he must use caution, as well as careful planning and positioning. To this end, he can split the squad into smaller units to take up separate positions or risk fewer soldiers when moving into dangerous areas. In alternative settings, heavy weapons are replaced graphically by such units as battering rams and wizards.

The game's plot – minimally expounded in the manual – concerns soldiers partaking in a Middle Eastern conflict abducted by aliens to do battle on an alien world. During the process of space travel, the aliens send the soldiers to various times and places, resulting in the intervening medieval and Chicago settings; the game is the sequel to Cannon Fodder, which drew criticism for its juxtaposition of war and humour and its use of iconography resembling the remembrance poppy. The cover art's poppy was replaced with a soldier, in turn replaced by a hand grenade for Cannon Fodder 2, regarding which Amiga Power joked: "the great thing about an explosive charge wrapped in hundreds of meters wound-inflicting wire is that it doesn't have the same child-frightening,'responsible adult' freaking, society-disrupting effect as an iddy-biddy flower." The One felt the new historical and science-fiction themes an attempt to avoid similar controversy as befell Cannon Fodder. Amiga Power itself had become embroiled in the controversy due to its planned use of the poppy on its cover and perceived inflammatory commentary its editor Stuart Campbell.

Campbell left the magazine to join Sensible Software as a programmer and worked on the sequel as his first game. A small team of "essentially four" people – among them first-time level-designer Campbell – created the game, retaining the Cannon Fodder engine. Prior to Campbell's arrival from a journalism career, Sensible Software had devised the game's time-travelling theme and decided upon the various settings. However, it had not yet developed a plot to expound these themes, it was not possible to illustrate the story in the game itself – due to Cannon Fodder 2's – simple nature and so Campbell began work on an elaborate "plot-to-be" completing a novella intended to accompany the final product. This version of the story had the time-travelling aliens plotting to intervene in various parts of human history to create chaos, which they intended to exploit to enslave and destroy humanity; the protagonists' kidnappers were envisioned as sympathisers who would send them through time to defend mankind.

However, Virgin took charge of the manual's production. The result was a simplified explanation which described the soldiers as in the employ of the aliens and did not clarify the time-travel element. Campbell said the loss of the novell

United Utilities Group plc, the United Kingdom's largest listed water company, was founded in 1995 as a result of the merger of North West Water and NORWEB. The group manages the regulated water and waste water network in North West England, which includes Cumbria, Greater Manchester and Merseyside, which have a combined population of nearly seven million; the United Utilities Group was the distribution network operator for the North West until 2010, when the electricity subsidiary was sold to Electricity North West. United Utilities' headquarters are in Warrington and the company has 5,300 direct employees, its shares are listed on the FTSE 100 Index. North West England is the wettest region in England, water hardness across the region is soft to soft. In 1990, North West Water and NORWEB, the companies responsible for the provision of water and electricity to the North West, were privatised. In 1995, they retained their separate identities. In January 1998, United Utilities listed on the New York Stock Exchange, but delisted its shares in May 2007.

In 2000, the North West Water and NORWEB branding was phased out in favour of United Utilities, the rebranding was completed by the end of 2001. The company sold some of the businesses it had acquired, its telecoms business, Your Communications was sold in February 2006, Vertex in March 2007. In December 2007, United Utilities sold its electricity distribution network assets to North West Electricity Networks Limitied, a joint venture between funds run by Colonial First State and investment bank JPMorgan Chase. Electricity North West became the licensed Distribution Network Operator for the north west of England as a result. United Utilities operated and maintained the network on behalf of Electricity Northwest until 2010, when Electricity Northwest bought the electricity network operations and maintenance arm of United Utilities to establish one Group. In October 2011, United Utilities was selected as the preferred bidder by Severn Trent Water to purchase the Lake Vyrnwy estate for £11 million.

United Utilities withdrew from the bidding process. In February 2012, United Utilities proposed a national water pipeline linking water sources in Manchester to London. In April 2016, United Utilities received an 18-year loan of £500m from The European Investment Bank to support investment across the North West. In May 2016, the Competition and Markets Authority granted United Utilities and Severn Trent Water approval to create a new joint venture company in preparation for the water market deregulation. In June 2016, United Utilities and Severn Trent Water formed Water Plus, in readiness to provide the retail services for their non household customers; as of 2012 United Utilities owned 184 reservoirs and was responsible to provide and maintain the water supply in the region. Some reservoirs operated by the company are outside the North West such as the Longdendale Chain in Derbyshire, which were constructed by the Manchester Corporation in the 19th century, remain networked to the North West's water supply.

In May 2010, a burst water main cut 15,000 customers in Moreton and Wallasey off water for 3 days. In November 2019, a burst pipe in a local treatment works disrupted water supply in the CH 41/42/43/63 areas and bottled water supply points were set up. On 7 August 2015, cryptosporidium, a water borne parasite that can cause diarrhoea and vomiting, had been detected in the water supply to Blackpool, Fylde, South Ribble and Wyre affecting more than 300,000 customers. No cases of cryptosporidiosis were reported and by introducing of ultra-violet treatment units "boil water" notices could be lifted in some areas. Investigations by UU and the Drinking Water Inspectorate had not identified the cause. On 6 September 2015, the water supply was declared free from contamination, restrictions were lifted. United Utilities was subsequently fined £300,000 at Preston Crown Court on 10 October 2017 for supplying water unfit for human consumption, with an additional £150,000 costs, it paid around £18 million in compensation to its customers.
