A girl has recently gone viral on social media after sharing an anecdote of a good deed that Noel Gallagher once did for her whilst she was working at Levi’s.
Audrey Indome – most well-known for appearing on the popular current affairs podcast The Receipts Podcast – shared the amazing story on Twitter yesterday.
After being unable to hit her sales numbers for that month, which left her feeling upset and worried for any potential repercussions, Noel Gallagher showed his true Mancunian spirit by stepping in to lend a hand and purchasing multiple pairs of jeans so that she was able to reach her target.
It’s been described as a moment she’ll “never forget”.
Audrey – who goes by @ghanasfinestx on Twitter – wrote: “I remember when I worked in Levi’s at Selfridges, Noel Gallagher came in and asked why I looked sad,”

“I told him I hadn’t hit target and he bought 10 pairs of black 501’s,”
“I’ll never forget that.”

I remember when I worked in Levi’s at selfridges Noel Gallagher came in and asked why I looked sad, I told him I hadn’t hit target and he bought 10 pairs of black 501’s I’ll never forget that.
Given the nature of the good deed, the tweet has understandably received a lot of attention since posting. It has gone on to amass tens of thousands of retweets, likes and comments, with many sharing their own similar celebrity experiences too.
Loool I low-key miss them days you know. One time Kanye west came on a Sunday and basically shut the store down because we followed him to every floor & didn’t do any work haha ?
The only celebrity tales I have from my days as Red or Dead manager in Selfridges, are selling Billie Piper a pair of shoes, and asking Rod Stewart why he was still wearing his sunglasses inside…??♀️I miss my 35% staff discount more than working there ??
Whilst this multi-purchase doesn’t particularly sound like a completely out of character thing for Noel to do, and we’d love to believe that it’s true, many people have however gone on to question whether or not the encounter did ever really take place.

It has also prompted other Twitter users to make up other stories in a similar vein to this, which we do have to admit are pretty funny.
My wife worked in Marylebone as an an estate agent 10 years ago,she left her car outside and ran in to another agency to collect keys to come out and find her car being held up from rolling down the road,by Noel Gallagher.
I’m glad he has helped others. Last year I was sat on a beach in Cornwall. All of a sudden I heard a rumble and a tsunami was about to hit us. Out of nowhere Mr Gallagher appears from nowhere and literally held back the tide. Allowing us to escape. What a man ????
Mad that! When I used to work in Harrods, Jesus came in and bought 173 boxes of Christmas crackers and I just about hit my target. Everyone was clapping and cheering and singing “we love you Jesus, we do”
Well then, all we can say is, if this story is true – nice one, Noel.
Doing Manchester proud once again.

Oldham mansion that starred in an iconic pop music video is up for sale
Thomas Melia
A Greater Manchester mansion that’s featured in one of the most famous music videos of the past decade is now up for sale.
Situated in the picturesque village of Uppermill, Oldham, Ashcroft House is currently listed at £2,350,000 accepting offers in the region of this figure.
The property has six bedrooms, six baths and five reception rooms – this mansion is a party host’s dream.
Ashcroft House has four storeys with the lower ground floor currently set up as a gym space and the ground floor boasting an eye-catching grand entrance hall.
This isn’t everything the lower ground floor has to offer. There are a number of breakout rooms such as a wine store, cinema room and your own personal steam room.
When going up another flight of stairs, the first floor’s main selling point besides the very large balcony is the matched walk in wardrobes paired with each of the six sleeping quarters, yes please!

Finally, if that wasn’t enough to draw you in, there is another flight of stairs leading to the second floor which is currently acting as the house’s ever-impressive storage area.
With the rolling hills of Saddleworth nearby and a local pub a ten minute walk away, how could life possibly get any better?
Oh wait it does! In 2016 one of the UK’s best selling girl groups of all time shot a music video for their worldwide hit right here in these very four walls.
X Factor prodigies and three time BRIT award winning girl group Little Mix perched up with their film crew to spend 21 hours recording the video for their groundbreaking single ‘Hair’.
The video itself has amassed nearly 500 million views on social media platform Youtube since being released eight years ago.

The previous owner of the house even revealed that once the music video shoot wrapped up, the girls stayed with the family to share a slice of pizza or two.
If you’re interested in owning a piece of pop culture history or just as nosey as we are you can take a virtual tour of this mansion in Oldham here.
People are finally discovering this super easy money-saving food hack
Danny Jones
These days, pinching the pennies and protecting the pounds wherever you can is more important than ever, so we have no intention of gatekeeping this game-changing itsu food hack.
For the longest time, we’ll admit that we thought itsu was just another good place to grab some fresh sushi, Asian-inspired meals and groceries, but after learning of this clever little loophole, it’s probably up there with one of our very favourite chains.
Starting out in London back in the late 90s, itsu has gone on to become a huge franchise with nearly 80 locations nationwide and, naturally, the risk that comes with a food brand getting this big is the almost unavoidable problem of waste.
However, what was once just a conveyor belt in Chelsea has turned into a super-efficient restaurant and fully established food brand that has also come up with a great way to not only help stop food from going to waste but save you money in the process too.

Put quite simply, because itsu would quite rightly rather see food go in your gob than in the bin, they have a discount policy on their products that are about to go out of date.
Think Too Good To Go only more specific and with even more money off guaranteed.
Once the clock hits a certain time towards the end of trading hours, sushi, salad boxes and other cold food items can be purchased at 50% off their usual price to help save money and on food spoiling.
No, we’re not having you on: each and EVERY single day you can get highly-quality itsu sushi selection platters, rice and salad boxes, poke bowls and more at literally half-price. You can see the full details in their FAQs.
It doesn’t matter if it’s a random work night or a peckish walk home from the pub on the weekend, provided you go after 8:30pm and get there before they shut, you can grab some of your favourites at essentially a two-for-one rate. Sensational stuff.
You don’t even have to download an app, go up to the counter and have any kind of awkward conversation or anything like that: the digital pay screens will automatically update once the click strikes cha-ching and you can saunter out of the gaff with your scran.

We’ll be honest, we often end up getting double the amount we came for but who can blame us with a value-for-money offer like that? There’s also a 15% discount for students and NHS workers, by the way.
We know that might sound counter-intuitive when we’ve pitched this as a money-saving life hack, but it’s actually come in handy when grabbing not just a last-minute tea for ourselves but hungry flatmates too; plus we go home knowing we’ve done our little bit to help reduce waste.
Eating out can get super expensive, especially in Manchester city centre during a cost of living crisis, but let’s face it, we all fancy a treat sometimes and the thought of cooking is too tiring to even think about – that’s what makes stumbling upon little happy discoveries like these makes so great.
Now, we’re not going to pretend you’re the first people to know about this: the ‘secret’ is out and is gradually getting more and more popular, so you’ll almost certainly find a fair few people queuing up with the same idea come 8:30pm, but that’s kind of the idea. The more we spread the news, the less waste.
itsu Spinningfields is currently the only branch in Manchester (the first-ever Northern site to be opened by the brand back in 2016) but if you need some discounted food whilst you’re travelling around, you can find your nearest location HERE. Enjoy!
