Image:Lego is the UK's strongest brand, according to a poll
Lego has been voted the strongest brand in the UK, beating more than 1,500 others in the annual Superbrands ranking.
The company, which is celebrating its 60th year making children's building blocks, had been in second place in 2017.
Last year's winner British Airways, meanwhile, plunged, falling out of the top 20.
Gillette was up three places to replace them, while Apple also rose three places from last year to come in third.
The list is determined by 2,500 consumers, who are asked to rank each brand for quality, reliability and distinction for the Centre for Brand Analysis.
Superbrands chairman Stephen Cheliotis said: "British Airways tumbling from top spot to outside of the top 20 should be a wake-up call for all brands.
"In a world where customer expectations have rightfully risen, brands cannot afford to disappoint and need to continually deliver to retain their valuable reputations.
"No brand, however strong, is immune to changing consumer sentiment.
"The rise of fresh, disruptive brands - particularly in terms of relevance to consumers' lives - should be an added warning to more established brands.
"The likes of Netflix, PurpleBricks and Zoopla may not be challenging for the top spot in the overall ranking yet, but they surely will be if they continue their current momentum and the established elite don't respond fast enough."
New post North Korea tests completed Yongbyon nuclear reactor, say analysts Image: Experts say recent satellite imagery shows testing has begun at the Yongbyon reactor North Korea has begun testing a nuclear reactor that could be used to produce weapons-grade plutonium, according to intelligence analysts. The country has been developing an experimental light water reactor at the Yongbyon Atomic Energy Research Centre for several years, but activity is said to have increased in recent months. Experts say recent satellite imagery shows the reactor has been structurally finished and there is evidence testing has begun.

Although the reactor could be used to produce weapons-grade plutonium, North Korea is believed to already have enough fissile material for several nuclear bombs. Construction of the...

Modrić, who is 38 years old, has been a consistent performer for Real Madrid since he arrived at the club in 2012. He has helped the club win four Champions League titles, among other trophies, and has also been a key player for Croatia at the international level.

Modrić is widely considered as one of the best midfielders of his era, and his skills and insights would be a great asset to any coaching team. In a recent interview, Ancelotti praised Modrić, sa...
Chicken Miso Meatballs Ground chicken bosom meat is genuinely lean, so milk is added to this formula to keep them damp and delicate. As the meatballs prepare, the miso caramelizes into exquisite chomps of sweet-pungent umami. Disintegrated Ritz wafers add lavishness and make a more succulent meatball (however plain, dry bread pieces will likewise work). To make the Ritz morsels, place the wafers in a resealable plastic pack and delicately squash them with the rear of a wooden spoon or estimating cup. These additionally make a scrumptious hors d'oeuvre: Simply fold the blend into more modest 1-inch balls. For a fast plunging sauce, join 2 sections soy sauce to 1 section refined white vinegar, and add cut scallions, or red-pepper pieces, assuming you like hotness. INGREDIENTS ¼ cup whole milk 3 tablespoons sweet white miso 1 tablespoon minced garlic 1 teaspoons kosher salt ¾ teaspoon black pepper ½ cup finely crushed Ritz c...
Chocolate and Almond Tiger Cake This almond cake depends on lenders, the little, typically ingot-formed cakes originally made in Paris in the last part of the 1880s. The baked good gourmet specialist Lasne made and named them for his stockbroker clients, keeping them simple and slick to eat on the run - piece of cake. Made with egg whites, ground nuts and a great deal of dissolved margarine, the formula is enticingly riffable. My beloved take is the tigré, a round, chocolate-dotted cake finished off with a spot of ganache. Years prior, I misread the name, and I've called them tiger cakes from that point forward. My play on the tiger is a huge cake, somewhat less rich than the first, go through with cleaved chocolate and covered with enough ganache to leave obvious smircesh. Stockbrokers be careful. Recipes 5 tablespoons/70 grams unsalted butter, plus more for the pan ½ cup/65 grams all-purpose flour, plus more for the pan ¾ cup/150 grams granulated sugar ½ teaspoon baking powder ¼...
