We’ve been absolutely spoiled with the glorious warm weather in Greater Manchester this week.
After a mixed bag in April and May, it’s finally starting to feel like summer, with an incoming heatwave due to bring 16 consecutive days of 20°C sunshine to our region in June.
There’s no better time for a barbecue then, right?
We all know that us Brits don’t need much of an excuse to fire up the barbecue when the sun’s out, but if you’re looking for something a little different to accompany your burgers and kebabs, then Home Bargains has got your sweet tooth covered.
Eagle-eyed shoppers have spotted an instant milk chocolate fondue set on the shelves of the budget retail chain, and it’s specifically designed for BBQs.

Commentator Arlo White shows off what the Old Trafford gantry walk looks like
Danny Jones
Ever wondered what it’s like to be up in the gantry in a football stadium, say, Old Trafford? Well, we certainly have.
You see the odd shot of the commentators sat there on the telly from time to time but it never really gives much away either and, at some venues, it’s quite a ways up there. There’s a little bit of allure behind these mysterious parts of footy grounds that most fans will never get to see.
After hours of mindless scrolling on the social media app, we stumbled across the well-known sports commentator‘s channel where he’s been showing off what it’s like to go in the gantry and one of them is his long walk to crow’s nest up at the Theatre of Dreams.
As it turns out, Arlo’s been doing these videos for a couple of years now, revealing how the gantry looks not only at Old Trafford but other big Premier League grounds too, such as down the road at the Etihad, Arsenal’s Emirates Stadium, Tottenham Hotspurs’ sparkly new ground and many more.
Another reason we found ourselves stuck on his TikTok for so long was also because of the other behind-the-scenes details he reveals too, even shedding light on how he prepares for games: note-taking, data sheets, how keeps himself warm up there during those cold nights on comms and so on.
