06:57:00 +0000 https://themanc.com/?p=288471

A new monthly travelling food festival is set to launch in Wythenshawe later this month, bringing some of Greater Manchester's best street food traders to the south Manchester neighbourhood.

Featuring local traders, pop-up brewery bars, take-home produce stalls and a stacked stage of entertainment, the new monthly event will come from original Manchester street food festival favourites Grub.

Teaming up with Manchester City Council, the new Grub Carnival will bring top local food traders to every corner of the region - popping up at a new location in Greater Manchester every month.

The first event will take place outside the former Wythenshawe indoor market on Saturday, 23 July, with street food stalls from non-traditional dumpling purveyors Desert Island Dumplings, burger purveryors Rad Burger and Italian foodies Il Forno.

Further traders confirmed for the first festival include The Neighbourhood Coop, Thief Street Grill & Waffle, The Chaat Walas, tiramisu heroes Paradiso Authentic Italian and Marzipan Mcr.

That's not all, either. There'll be a mini-produce market full of goodies from local independent food and drink producers, too, and a fully-stocked beer bar showing off the best summer pours from Manchester's breweries.

The Grub Carnival bar will be stacked with craft beer from the likes of North West brewers like Vocation Brewery, Squawk Brew Co. Rivington Brew Co and many more, plus the Runaway Brewery team will be there in person pouring and talking about their beers.

Elsewhere, there'll be a range of cocktails, mocktails, wines and soft drinks to enjoy, a Grub Carnival tent hosting a stage full of live entertainment and DJs, and lawn games keep the kids (and adults) amused.

Grub is also reaching out to the Wythenshawe community to collaborate and offer support
through their ‘School Of Grub’ scheme, a free-to-attend workshop presented by successful street food traders giving real life advice on how to get started in the business.

The best prospects from those workshops will then get free mentoring from Grub and a leg up to get to their first street food gig.

Grub also wants to hear from local businesses, residents, artists, musicians and community groups who might want to support or get involved in the event. If that sounds like you then please drop them an email using the address info@grubcarnival.com.

"It’s amazing to have the opportunity to bring this smashing new market to Wythenshawe and we can’t wait to bring folk together to have a great time.

"We’ve got big hopes that this event is just the start of great things happening in Wythenshawe”.

Halifax has told customers they are free to close their accounts if they disagree with pronouns being on staff name tags.

After taking to social media earlier this week to share an image of a staff name tag which had Gemma written on it with the pronouns ‘she/her/hers’ underneath, and to state that "pronouns matter", the bank was met with praise on the move by many customers, as well as by leading LGTBQ+ charity, Stonewall.

Stonewall said it was great to see companies like Halifax offering staff the option of displaying their pronouns, and claimed it was a great way to "make sure LGBTQ+ identities are respected" in the workplace.

A spokesperson for Halifax said the bank wants to "create a safe and accepting environment that opens the conversation around gender identity", and it hopes the move will support colleagues to be themselves and feel included.

"We care about our customers' and colleagues' individual preferences," the spokesperson added.

But despite all the praise it received, Halifax was also hit with criticism from some other customers who said they didn't agree with the move.

One critical Twitter user accused the bank of "pathetic virtue signalling" and questioned why it was trying to "alienate" people, to which Halifax responded in a now-viral tweet telling the customer to close their account.

Halifax said: "We strive for inclusion, equality and quite simply, in doing what’s right. If you disagree with our values, you’re welcome to close your account."

In another critical tweet, another customer wrote: "If a person is wearing a NAME badge, wouldn't it more polite to use that NAME, isn't that the point of a NAME badge, otherwise, why put the NAME on the NAME badge in the first place?"

Halifax then responded to reiterate that it wishes to "create a safe and accepting environment that opens the conversation around gender identity," for staff and customers alike.

Halifax is the latest organisation to offer employees the chance to display their pronouns on name badges, and it comes after retailer M&S made the headlines for adopting the optional move back in November 2021.

The move by M&S came from a suggestion via the retailer’s employee suggestion initiative, and it now means that workers have the choice to use "whichever combinations of pronouns is right for them".

Announcing the decision to introduce the new pronoun badges, M&S explained: "Recently, we introduced pronoun name badges for our colleagues, encouraging as many of them as possible to wear whichever combination of pronouns is right for them.

"An amazing initiative provided by one of our colleagues as we continue to build an inclusive future, together."

A volunteer from Oldham who has given her time and skills to good causes for more than 60 years has received a prestigious award.

Barbara Heywood has been given a Platinum Champions award by the Royal Voluntary Service (RVS) for her volunteering excellence after she started lending a hand at homeless charity Emmaus back in 2011, and has been offering her services each week within the charity's social enterprise and community since then.

Barbara has mostly given her time to Emmaus Mossley in Ashton-under-Lyne.

Emmaus Mossley is just one local branch of the charity across Greater Manchester, and it supports 26 formerly-homeless people by providing them with a home, work, companionship, and individual support.

Barbara was awarded her RVS Platinum Champions award as par of an official Jubilee project to celebrate outstanding volunteers across the country who are making a difference every day.

Thousands of people from all over the UK who volunteer for a range of causes were nominated for the RVS Platinum Champions award, and from these nominations, 490 volunteers were hand-picked by a judging panel presided over by The Duchess of Cornwall - one of which was Barbara.

"This award was a lovely surprise and really, I receive it on behalf of all the dedicated volunteers who see a job and get it done," Barbara said.

A free climber from Manchester posed as a construction worker in order to scale and hang off the tallest crane in Dubai.

21-year-old Adam Lockwood, from Wigan, successfully scaled the crane without any safety equipment and hung off it with just one hand after he managed to gain entry to the 77-storey residential skyscraper, Il Primo - which is directly next to the world's tallest building, the Burj Khalifa.

He posed as a construction worker and attempted to dodge the real construction workers on his ascent to the top.

Video footage documenting Lockwood's death-defying journey to top of the 390 metre (1,280ft) crane has been shared to his YouTube channel, and has already racked up over tens and thousands of views.

Lockwood said the whole experience was "surreal".

During the seven-minute YouTube video of the journey to completing the stunt - which was was carried out at 5:45am, and mostly filmed on a GoPro - Lockwood pretended to be a construction worker who had forgotten something in order to gain access to the building, but after being initially shouted at by a genuine site worker, had to changed stairwells eight times over two hours to evade others.

With the sun rise and glittering cityscape providing the dramatic backdrop to the stunt, the video then shows Lockwood flipping and moving around the crane’s structure, and then hanging off the top of it with one just hand.

The video then ends with him emerging onto the streets with a stunned expression, looking up at the towering skyscrapers.

Lockwood said he experience as "the most incredible thing I've ever done", but described it as "almost peaceful" as his "brain is blank" when he performs stunts.

"When I first looked at the footage, I was thinking to myself: ‘This is it, this is the most incredible thing I’ve done," he said. "It’s something I know I can do and that 99% of the world can’t and never will do, so I feel obliged to use my ability and enjoy doing it in the process."

He admitted he "slept for the whole day" afterwards.

This isn't the first time Lockwood has attempted previous stunts, of course, and has most-notably dangled from the 80-metre San Siro stadium in Milan back in April, and later scaled the famous glass pyramid at the Louvre in Paris to take a selfie.

In the past, he has also grabbed headlines for scaling Arndale Food Court in Manchester city centre during a Black Lives Matter protest on 7 June 2020, and then just a few days later, he dangled from the edge of a 600ft balcony at the Madison Building in London’s Canary Wharf - with video footage of both instances uploaded to the internet.

Back in August 2020, Lockwood was handed a suspended sentence and narrowly avoided jail after breaching a Manchester City Council injunction, and "continuing to risk his life" by "dangerously scaling" tall buildings.

Aldi is giving away over 100,000 books to children across the UK for free this summer to help get more kids into reading.

Did you know that one in 17 children in the UK doesn't own a single book? And more than one in four 11-year-olds had below-expected reading levels in 2019? On top of that, some new research commissioned by budget supermarket retailer Aldi has revealed that 90% of charity professionals believe that children’s reading abilities have unfortunately declined since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic too.

So, in a bid to help more children benefit from everything that reading has to offer, Aldi has announced it will donate more than 100,000 books to children across the UK ahead of the school summer holidays.

The campaign has been backed by Manchester United and England star, Marcus Rashford MBE.

Alongside the launch of the campaign, Aldi has also asked the Wythenshawe-born footballer and best-selling children’s author to narrate an animation called 'My Reading Journey' - which the retailer says brings to life "how much joy reading can bring to a child".

"I didn’t read properly until I was 17, and I don’t want that for others like me," Marcus said.

https://twitter.com/AldiUK/status/1542402690000584704?s=20&t=-FQcOnQcklcmdTmu1IaTAQ

"The escapism and joy you can get from reading could have benefitted me significantly as a child, but the issue was always access and representation.

"Struggling to put food on the table, there was very little money left for things like books, so it’s great to see Aldi step up to address a growing need for access to books in communities just like mine [as] it’s important that children can see a world much bigger than what they see on their doorstep and that can be achieved through books."

The books will be produced by Macmillan Children's Books, and distributed with support from the charity Magic Breakfast - which provides nutritious breakfasts to children and young people at schools in disadvantaged areas for free - with additional copies also being donated by national giving platform, Neighbourly.

"At Aldi we believe that access to books, just like quality food, should be a right, not a privilege and every child deserves to experience the magic of reading," added Giles Hurley - CEO at Aldi UK and Ireland.

"Not only are we donating over 100,000 books to children that need them, this campaign also aims to help raise awareness of the increasing number of children who don’t have access to their own books at home so those that are in the fortunate position to do so, have the chance to help too."

Aldi is also encouraging the public to donate to help them provide books to a children.

Making a donation of just £5 means that two books will be gifted to those in need, and you can find out more and donate on the Aldi website here.

The exhibition is split into two halves, with the first half telling the story of the women’s game up until the ban, from its nineteenth-century origins to the all-conquering Dick, Kerr Ladies, and the second half kicks off later in the summer, focusing on the present state of play within women’s football, from the grassroots up to the professional game.

They had gone up from £1.00 to £1.20 with no warning....

I understand everything is going up but there is a really bad homeless issue in Stockport and the Greater Manchester area.

There's less than a month to go now before Manchester Originals and The Hundred is set to return to Emirates Old Trafford.

Sports fans will get the chance to see some of the world’s best cricketers, watch a handful of the hottest music acts, and tuck into some amazing local street food once the city's 100-ball cricket franchise, Manchester Originals, and The Hundred tournament returns to Emirates Old Trafford in just a few weeks' time.

It's set to be one of the best sporting and entertainment events this summer.

Unfamiliar with The Hundred? Cricket's newest one-day tournament gives spectators the chance to watch a mix of fast-paced world class cricket, and music and entertainment off the pitch - and it proved to be big hit with families and young people in particular during its first year.

The Hundred's return to Old Trafford also gives people the chance to watch the city's very-own Manchester Originals live in action.

Manchester Originals have a roster that is absolutely packed with impressive players for their second year - with the women's team led by Manchester-born pace bowler Kate Cross, and explosive batter Jos Buttler heading up the men's team.

Cricket fans will know that Kate Cross made history last year as she hit The Hundred’s first ever six and took 12 wickets, while Jos Buttler will be looking to imbue his World Cup-winning pedigree into a men’s team full of talent.

"We’ve got immense talent in both squads, and if we perform at the level we know that this group is capable of, there’s nothing that can stop us from going all the way," Kate Cross said ahead of The Hundred's return.

"The Hundred presents a huge opportunity for our game and it’s going to be a fantastic summer, with something in there for everyone no matter your age or background.

"I can’t wait to get back out at Emirates Old Trafford to do it all over again."

World number one bowler Sophie Ecclestone and last year’s top scorer Lizelle Lee also both return to the women’s lineup, while local hero Matt Parkinson and exciting batter Phil Salt have too kept their place on the men's team.

They will all be joined by new international superstars Andre Russell, Deandra Dottin, Amy Satterthwaite, and Wanindu Hasaranga, who are all set to make their Originals debuts.

Jos Buttler said he can't wait to see fans packing out Emirates Old Trafford to cheer on both sides once again.

"We’ve got a great mix of international quality and local talent in both our squads and we are really looking forward to playing some exciting cricket and hopefully inspiring the next generation along the way," he added.

The off-field entertainment this year will be hosted by BBC Radio Manchester’s DJ Roesh for all the home games this season, while an all-star music lineup curated by BBC Introducing has now been announced - with some of the most exciting names on the UK music scene, Leigh's very-own indie pop band Lottery Winners, and Manchester-based singer Phoebe Green, confirmed to perform at Emirates Old Trafford.

Fans can also look forward to a wide range of street food on offer, as well as a dedicated kids zone for the team’s younger supporters.

Wigan boys The Lathums have had a seriously big career moment this week, when The Killers pulled them up on stage to perform one of their own songs.

Killers frontman Brendon Flowers sang How Beautiful Life Can Be, from The Lathum's album of the same name, standing side-by-side with Alex Moore from the group.

Although he pronounced the band name wrong (it's Lah-thums, rather than Lay-Thums), Brendon had some lovely things to say about the local indie band.

The star said: "We’ve had the great pleasure of playing a few shows with The Lathums. They are a great band from the UK, from a town - from Wigan, right?

https://twitter.com/battleiswon/status/1547242927637905412

"I first heard about them from this song, it’s called ‘How Beautiful Life Can Be’ and it’s a beautiful song. We’re going to share it with you now."

Those who were at the gig in Vienna shared videos of the touching moment, with Alex visibly beaming.

Several people in the audience can be heard chanting 'Up the tics', in reference to football team Wigan Athletic.

https://twitter.com/NewMusicMogul/status/1547236035423240198

One person said: "Imagine that, a band that were performing before you were even old enough to hold a guitar, playing a song of yours. Proper magic that. Up the tics!"

Another wrote: "This is what dreams are made of. A song written at home, inspired lyrics by his mother during a pandemic and now sung together with one of the biggest bands on the planet at a venue full of music lovers. Perfect. Well played @TheLathums @thekillers."

Someone else tweeted: "Think this is the definition of made it."

The four-piece have supported The Killers on a few dates on their huge world tour.

After a recent gig in Paris, Alex wrote: "Mad feeling that, couldn’t believe it when everyone started getting their lights out.

"Very humbling feeling being accepted by so many different people different places. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, I can’t describe how much it helps me."

Since launching in 2013, Sounds of the City has hosted the likes of Kylie, Arcade Fire, Elbow, Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds, Catfish And The Bottlemen and Courteeners.

As with most music events, Sounds of the City had its 2020 and 2021 summer seasons disrupted, but returned with a handful of gigs last September.

Now it's back in full force and ready to kick off in a matter of days.

Here's what you need to know.

Who's headlining Sounds of the City on which date?

• Tuesday 28 June – Lewis Capaldi plus special guest Jp Saxe & Emie Nathan
• Wednesday 29 June – Foals plus special guests Wet Leg & The Regrettes - Sold Out

How do I buy tickets?

There are still tickets left for a few of the Sounds of the City gigs, as well as tickets cropping up on resale sites (as always, make sure you're using a verified fan-to-fan service so you don't get ripped off).

You can expect to pay between £40 and £50 for most of the events - Lewis Capaldi tickets are £44.25, The Libertines tickets are going for £47.40, and The Pixies for £50.50, for example.

You can browse the events and see the latest ticket availability through Ticketmaster.

What are the stage and venue times?

Doors to the venue are expected to open at 5.30pm for most of the concerts.

There'll be a strict 10.30pm curfew.

Each artist is likely to announce their individual stage times on social media in the coming days, but you can probably expect headliners to take to the stage between 8.30pm and 9pm most nights.

What's the seating chart for the venue?

Castlefield Bowl is an amphitheatre-style outdoor venue in the city centre.

Although all tickets are billed as unreserved standing, if you're quick you can take a seat on the large concrete steps that curve around the stage.

Many people also take a perch up on the grassy banks at the back of the venue too.

How do I get to Castlefield Bowl?

Another month, another set of new openings to shout about - and boy are there some crackers coming to Manchester this July.

From a spanking new late-night music venue, late-night bar and restaurant over on Oxford Road, to a teeny-tiny Japanese street food stall, there's loads to look forward to this month.

Keep reading to discover our top picks to try out this July.

Rise Pizza

After years spent cooking in high-end Michelin kitchens, chef Sam Astley-Dean has switched his chef whites for jeans and a tshirt, applying his skills to new one-man pizza pop-up Rise.

Pizza here celebrates quality ingredients, made with the likes of organic tomatoes and mozzarella, planet saving flour, imported italian basil and parmigiano reggiano di solo bruna.

Sam can often be found popping up all over Greater Manchester, but for the month of July you can be sure to find his brilliant pizzas at Track's taproom every Friday and Saturday between the hours of 3 and 9pm.

1 July, Track brewery taproom

Primo Bagel

Founded by three friends who have all previously worked together at esteemed Manchester bakery Pollen, Primo has spent the past few months popping up at the Cloudwater brewery taproom on Picadilly Industrial Trading Estate.

As of this month, though, the trio officially has a new home inside the Seesaw co-working space on Princess Street previously occupied by Batard.

Find them serving up a host of generously-stuffed bagels alongside sweet bakes, hummus and chips, fermented cabbage, and bialy – a Polish treat made using leftover bagel dough, baked with half a red onion inside - with a selection of eight different bagels in flavours like salt, marbled malt, sesame, everything, pumpernickel, plain and poppy.

As for fillings, think salt beef with Swiss cheese and Russian dressing; spicy, pickled jalapeno schmear with bacon from Littlewood’s butchers; smoked salmon and ‘everything’ cream cheese with lemon, dill, seeds, onion and garlic; and a whipped Marmite cream cheese bagel with spring onions.

There are sweet cookies too, and a new 'off/secret menu(ish) type of thing' for those in the know combining a toasted bagel with plain cream cheese and apricot jam.

Wednesday to Friday, 9am-4pm, 86 Princess Street

Maray

Liverpool favourite Maray will open its doors this month in the Bruntwood Works’ Union building on Brazennose Street next to ‘The Hidden Gem’ church.

In a central location that’s slightly off the beaten path, it will form part of the transformation taking place around the Town Hall and Lincoln Square.

Founded in 2014 by James Bates, Tom White and Dom Jones, the concept was originally inspired by the owners’ experiences in the Le Marais district of  Paris – a vibrant area of the city famed as a culinary melting pot of Middle Eastern flavours and stand out cocktail bars.

In a nod to this, the menu at Maray features a selection of mezze, and small plates like falafel, lamb shawarma and baked halloumi.

It also boasts an extensive vegan and vegetarian offering – think wild mushrooms with cannellini beans, sweet potato with tahini and date molasses, and spiced lentil and rice mejadara.

16 July, Lincoln Square

The Flat Baker

The Flat Baker is opening its first little shop in Ancoats this month, serving specialist treats and classic pastries with a Brazilian-inspired twist from a window hatch on Radium Street.

Opening on Saturdays only, here pastry and bread lovers will find a multitude of croissants and cruffins, pastel de natas, cinnamon swirls and faviours breads, including focaccia, cornbread, Pão de Queijo (cheese bread) and boozy brioche.

Elsewhere, there’ll be more specialist Brazilian treats for sale too, like carrot cake topped and filled with creamy chocolate truffle (brigadeiro), guava polenta cake, tonka bean brownies, and passion fruit and lime meringue tarts.

2 July, Radium Street

Frankie's Toasties

Frankie's Toasties will open a new toasted sandwich stall at Manchester's Arndale Market this month, selling retro Breville delights stuffed with everything from supernoodles to all the ingredients of a Full English breakfast.

Adding to its existing site on Portland Street, the new Little Frankie's branch will offer daily grab-and-go toasties throughout the day until the market closes at 6pm.

The new food stall will offer all the same goodies as its existing site — albeit in a slightly smaller package - with Full English breakfast toasties, chilli con carne toasties, a toastie stuffed with four-cheese macaroni, chocolate and loads more all set to be on the menu.

Date TBC, Manchester Arndale

Panc / Yum Yum

Another new addition to Manchester Arndale, this time in the council-run market on the High Street side of the centre bordering the Northern Quarter.

Christmas market favourites Panc are taking over the former Salt and Pepper unit this month, bringing all their savoury favourites with them - as well as a range of sweet desserts under the new banner Yum Yum

Splitting the stall into two, Panc and Yum Yum will each be housed in their own individual sections – one serving up tasty vegan ‘junk’ food like kebabs, burgers, loaded fries, hot dogs and ‘chick’n’, the other focusing exclusively on milkshakes and desserts.

Yum Yum will boast a brand new chimney cake offering alongside vegan soft serve, bringing plant-based ice cream to the Arndale market for the very first time alongside Panc’s popular churros, loaded PANCakes and Belgian waffles.

8 July, Arndale Market

The Ancoats Lad

Tiny Oldham Street boozer The Ancoats Lad is being given a new lease of life five months after its owners' bit farewell via a heartbreaking letter plastered to its shutters.

Long known as a place that ‘encouraged awkwardness’ with ‘old-school’ customers, the miniscule pub, sandwiched between Gullivers and Chakalaka, will reopen as The Mancunian next month – with a hyper-local offering to reflect its new moniker.

Drinks will come from the likes of Salford Rum, Manchester Union Lager, Manchester Gin, Shindigger, Seven Brothers and more. “Pretty much everyone you could think of”, Perry and Josh tell us, adding they want to keeping everything as traditional and Manchester-based as possible.

16 July, Oldham Street

Monkey Trio

Manchester's first-ever dedicated sake bar, Monkey Trio will open at the Circle Square development on Oxford Road this month.

It will offer drinkers a range of different Japanese sake styles, as well as various Japanese-made whiskies and craft matcha beers.

TBC, Circle Square

Takoyaki Master

New Japanese street food stall Takoyaki Master specialises in little fried balls stuffed with diced octopus, bonito and sweetcorn.

Run by Violet and Pong Ho, it is pretty much a brand new arrival at the market. The pair have only been in Manchester a few months – having moved over here from Hong Kong, where they tell us they ran a very successful Takoyaki stall for “many years”.

There are two styles of takoyaki on offer - one topped with scallions, and one without. Both come filled with diced octopus, sweetcorn and bonito soup, then topped with bonito and seaweed flakes, Japanese mayo and Okonomi sauce.

If you don't like octopus, though, they'll happily switch it out for chicken, cheese or beef.

Open now, Arndale Market

Tsjuiri

Popular matcha dessert tea house Tsujiri is also tipped to open inside Circle Square this month.

It is the second Manchester site for the brand, which already has an existing cafe in Chinatown.

Here, you'll be able to pick up everything from mochi balls to matcha basque cheesecakes, black sesame chocolate tarts and tubs of matcha and roasted soy bean ice cream. Elsewhere, the menu will feature a range of bubble teas and lattes.

TBC, Circle Square

Cherry’s Boba Shop

From the cocktail wizarding team that brought Stockport Cherry Jam comes a new bubble tea shop, the first of its kind in the neighbourhood.

Cherry’s Boba Shop sees cocktail bartender Neil Garner turn his hand to wild and wacky and wonderful boba tea creations in flavours like strawberry shortcake, banana split, mango cheesecake and PB&J.

In his own words: "If Willy Wonka made boba tea, this shop would sell them all." 

Opening opposite Red Rock Cinema at the start of July, there are also some cocktail-inspired (but alcohol-free) serves like Cherry's Mojito and the Popstar Marteani (passion fruit and vanilla fruit tea with passion fruit popping boba).

1 July, Stockport

Canvas

A new music, entertainment and wellness venue, Canvas will open its doors this month at Oxford Road's Circle Square development.

With live music, club nights, a members’ lounge with a programme of events, a late-night bar and restaurant, and a digital platform, it's set to bring a whole new late-night offering to the busy student side of town.

An official opening date is yet to be announced, but Canvas is expected to open in the second week of July.

Over on Deansgate Square, Salvi's has just opened the doors to its latest restaurant.

A far cry from the cosy settings of the family-run brands' other sites, this swanky new spot is something of a behemoth with a large covered and heated drinks terrace, elegant restaurant, Italian deli, bar, private dining room and exhibition space spanning 3,000 square feet.

Nestled underneath the luxury apartments of the Square's many influencer residents, it hasn't been open long but already features in a number of glossy and carefully edited grid posts - the opulent plant-filled terrace bar has clearly become a popular choice amongst Manchester's glitterati already.

A huge gold sparkly pizza oven sits centre stage in the open kitchen and reminds me of a disco ball, like Salvi's has entered its party era.

This year marks a decade since owner Maurizio Cecco opened his family's first restaurant in Manchester's Corn Exchange, and this new site feels like a celebration of that.

In the corner, an Italian deli is overflowing with gorgeous ingredients (all of which also feature in the dishes here) giving visitors the chance to pick up top-quality Italian meats, cheeses, oils, vinegar and more to take home.

A large table in the middle gives it a family feel, with a variety of different gelato flavours sitting on display close by behind a glass cabinet.

Keen to see how its new restaurant stands up against other Salvi's in the city, we paid the new site a visit to check it out - and left, three hours later, full to the brim and grinning like idiots.

Serving everything from cichetti to contorni, Italian cakes and gelato, the menu here is just as expansive as the site itself.

The wine list is, as you'd expect, predominantly Italian, the cocktails similarly styled - a sweet and refreshing limoncello spritz, a Campari G&T, a sweet, Frangelico-spiked espresso martini.

We dig into huge plates loaded with the softest prosciutto di parma, gorgonzola drizzled with honey, smoked mozzarella peppered with sweet heritage cherry tomatoes, and Southern Italian grilled cheese with a sprinkle of balsamic, all designed to show off Salvi's gorgeous imported produce.

Next, a giant bowl of mussels swimming in a rich and ever-so-slightly spicy tomato broth plops onto the table - adorned with slices of fresh bread, encouraging some hearty dipping as we attempt to soak up every last morsel of the shellfish's accompanying sauce.

Pasta follows, and we dive into two of the restaurant's best-selling dishes -  the pistachio pesto-laden pasta Nonna Teresa is an instant hit, the molten pork fat from its guanciale (pork cheek) all juicy and salty, adding beautifully into the mix.

Another bowl, this time of baby octopus and spicy sausage paste pasta polipo ‘nduja, is rich and bright, its salty morsels of cephalopod cutting through the tomato base.

Suffice to say, the quality is just as good as you'd find in the Corn Exchange or the Northern Quarter restaurants, or in Italy itself, for that matter.

Full to the brim but unable to resist dessert, we finish on a beautifully-light pistachio cake served with a dusting of iced ricotta on the side, joined by that aforementioned silky sweet hazelnut espresso martini - a heavenly pairing, even if your trousers are beginning to strain at the waist (as mine are).

It all feels very glamorous, but with that warm, friendly Italian service - keenly suggesting this, enthusiastically encouraging that - that reminds you you're in a neighbourhood place, and they really want you to enjoy their food.

A beautiful new addition to Deansgate Square, we highly recommend you pay them a visit - and grab some goodies to take home on your way out.

A former military helicopter has now been turned into an Airbnb, and it's parked up an hour outside Manchester.

The specially converted Lynx helicopter once flew in the Gulf War and was used by the British Army in places like Kosovo too.

But now it's found its resting place in the idyllic Lancashire countryside, where its previous military interior has been turned into cosy overnight accommodation.

Although it's far from roomy inside, the 1982 Westland Lynx XZ676 comfortably has space for up to two adults and two children.

A specially-designed double bunk has been installed in the tail of the chopper, while the sofa bed pulls out into a bed for kids.

• 

• 

It may be small in stature but it's also well-equipped, with a kettle, microwave, mini fridge and LED TV.

If you choose to stay overnight, you also have access to your own private decking area with outdoor seating, and can make use of the nearby toilet and shower block.

One-night stays start from £110.

A new street food stall has opened inside the Arndale market selling Takoyaki balls, a salty Japanese fried snack stuffed with diced octopus and topped with seaweed and bonito flakes.

Super scannable, they're fried in a special pan, which gives them a much lighter texture than deep-fried balls, then topped with lashings of Japanese mayonnaise and Okonomi sauce.

The stall itself is called Takoyaki Master and has just taken over the former Wholesome Junkies space.

Run by Violet and Pong Ho, it is pretty much a brand new arrival at the market. The pair have only been in Manchester a few months - having moved over here from Hong Kong, where they tell us they ran a very successful Takoyaki stall for "many years".

Violet told us they want to continue their business here as it's something they know how to do well - and that if customers don't like octopus, they'll happily switch it out for chicken, cheese or beef.

They've only been in residence at the market for a fortnight, and currently have two styles of takoyaki on offer - one topped with scallions, and one without. Pong also tells us they're planning to start offering sushi in the near future, once they've found their feet.

Although they come out looking like dumplings, in reality, these salty little balls are more akin to croquettes, or they are on the inside at least.

With a gooey, creamy texture inside that causes them to collapse in on themselves as soon as you spike them with a fork, on the outside they're almost gelatinous - cooked in a special pan with individual semi-circles to give them a unique texture that's unlike anything else we can think of.

They can be ordered on their own, with prices starting from £4.50 for four balls and £8.50 for eight, with french fries and a range of soft drinks also on offer.

You can find Takoyaki Master inside the Arndale market seven days a week, open from 11am-6pm Monday to Saturday and 11.30am-4.30pm on Sundays.

Ever considered getting your kit off on national television?

If you were brave enough to answer 'yes' to that, then there's a brand new series of the hit Channel 4 show Naked Attraction set to hit screens later this year and producers are looking for Mancunian singles to bare all in the name of love.

"Do you fancy testing the power of Naked Attraction?" the show asks.

"In this daring dating series, potential couples are able to see each other in their naked glory from the very off, and producers Studio Lambert are looking for adventurous singletons to take part in a new series - are you up for... naked dating?"

At this point, Naked Attraction has a reputation which precedes it.

But if you’re unfamiliar with this one-of-a-kind TV dating game series that's coming back for its 10th season, the first thing you should know is that it isn’t exactly a subtle show.

https://twitter.com/C4Naked/status/1540062137875255296?s=20&t=9eMJgi44YgCzue26jCMHRQ

That's because it's a programme where a fully-clothed person faces six naked people - who are initially hidden in booths - and watches as parts of their bodies and faces are gradually revealed through successive rounds, from the feet up.

The picker will whittle down a group of six potential suitors, based solely on the power of naked attraction, and eliminate a person in each round based on what they find least likeable.

At the end, they must pick the naked body they like best to go on a "fully-clothed" date with.

Studio Lambert North and Channel 4 are currently casting for the new series, with the show's producers adding: "We’re looking for brave singletons to bare all in a quest to find love.

"There is no limit on gender, sexuality, or body type, and we pride ourselves on being an inclusive show [so] as long as applicants are over 18 years old and are single, we’d love to hear from them."

Fancy stripping down in the name of love, then? You can apply for the next series of Naked Attraction here.

Stunning new images have revealed what Chester Zoo's upcoming luxury wedding and events venue will look like when it opens next year.

The UK's biggest charity zoo has released an exclusive set of artist’s impressions providing a first glimpse of the wildlife charity’s new 200-capacity wedding destination - which is named 'The Square' and is scheduled to open in spring 2023.

The pictures show the building’s bright and spacious interiors, and the rooms feature patterns and textures that draw inspiration from the zoo’s mission to prevent the extinction of endangered species.

The luxury space is an extension of an existing Grade II-listed stable block that has stood at the heart of the 128-acre zoo since it opened in 1931.

The original structures were once home to some of the zoo’s first animals such as lions, bears, and chimpanzees, and conservationists at the zoo say they plan to retain the "rich history and character" of the building through the renovation.

The space will also be extended in some areas using sustainably sourced and wildlife-friendly materials.

Featuring an impressive gated entrance, the unique building will also have its own large private courtyard, exposed brick walls, vaulted rafters, and large windows overlooking the zoo’s botanical gardens.

There'll also be a whole host of preserved historical features too.

Speaking ahead of the venue's launch next year, Jamie Christon - CEO at Chester Zoo - said: "Work is underway to bring to life this incredible building that has stood at the heart of the zoo for more than 91 years.

"The Square will be a special, one-of-a-kind space that preserves the zoo’s rich history and character, while also adding a modern twist to its interior that showcases our plans for a more sustainable future.

While the zoo has, for some time, offered an intimate wedding and events space at The Oakfield gastropub, which can hold around 50 guests, we’re frequently asked if we can accommodate larger scale events.

"That’s why we’re really excited to begin welcoming guests to this incredible new venue from early next year.

"But what’s particularly special is that income generated by each and every occasion that takes place at The Square will contribute to our charitable mission and help us to secure a brighter future for wildlife on our planet.

"When The Square opens in spring 2023, there will be nothing else quite like it in the UK."

The grand opening of The Square is planned for spring 2023, and wedding dates are still available.

The main event room is planned to have a capacity of 200, while reception and breakout rooms brings the total capacity of the building to 380.

A team of keen archaeologists from the University of Manchester have started a dig at a 5,000-year-old tomb that's linked to King Arthur.

And they're hoping to answer some of site's ancient mysteries in the process.

The Manchester-based experts are working in partnership with English Heritage - which is responsible for looking after Arthur's Stone in Herefordshire - to remove turf to expose and record what are some particularly-sensitive archaeological remains.

In case you're unfamiliar with it, Arthur's Stone is a Neolithic chambered tomb that's never previously been excavated.

Like many prehistoric monuments in western England and Wales, this tomb has been linked to King Arthur since before the 13th century, and according to legend, it was here that Arthur slew a giant who left the impression of his elbows on one of the stones as he fell - but today, only the large stones of the inner chamber still stands

The chamber is formed of nine upright stones, with a huge capstone that's estimated to weigh more than 25 tonnes on top.

English Heritage say that similar examples of chambers in the same region have been found to contain incomplete skeletal remains of several people, as well as arrowheads, pottery, and more, so it's definitely worth preserving.

"Arthur’s Stone is one of the country’s most significant Stone Age monuments, and this excavation gives a really rare and exciting chance for members of the public to come and see archaeology in action," said Ginny Slade, Volunteer Manager at English Heritage.

"Our team of wonderful volunteers will be on hand to explain the latest findings as they happen."

The dig follows research undertaken by the Universities of Manchester and Cardiff immediately to the south of the monument last year, which has already changed the thinking about the orientation and origins of the site. 

Professor Julian Thomas from the University of Manchester will also lead the upcoming excavations, with a little help from some students from Cardiff University and a number of American institutions too.

"Arthur’s Stone is one of this country’s outstanding prehistoric monuments, set in a breathtaking location, yet it remains poorly understood," Professor Thomas said.

"Our work seeks to restore it to its rightful place in the story of Neolithic Britain."

— UoM News (@UoMNews) July 1, 2022]]> https://themanc.com/news/uk-government-to-make-single-sex-toilets-compulsory-in-all-new-public-buildings/ Mon, 04 Jul 2022 07:55:52 +0000 https://themanc.com/?p=288826

Government sources have confirmed that ministers are to make single-sex toilets compulsory in all new public buildings in the UK.

In a move that will involve changes to building regulations and planning guidance, government ministers are expected to formally announce this week that they will prevent non-residential buildings from being built solely with "universal" lavatories - which means that new offices, schools, hospitals, entertainment venues, and more will be expected to have separate male and female toilets.

The move would also apply to new or redeveloped government-owned buildings.

Headed up by equalities minister, Kemi Badenoch, the plans for the move were said to have been quietly approved last month, The Telegraph reports.

The newspaper reported that the policy was first proposed back in May 2021, but was criticised as being a transphobic move as it offered no alternative plan for trans and non-binary people.

Ms Badenoch’s plans - which she insists are both legal and "important" - follow a review by former housing secretary Robert Jenrick, which reportedly came across concerns by women about the reduced privacy and longer queues that are generated by gender-neutral toilets.

The government has also claimed some children are avoiding using lavatories at school because they only have access to gender-neutral facilities.

Similarly, some campaign groups, including Fair Play for Women, told the government that same-sex facilities "disadvantaged" women, and that "many women and girls are unwilling to walk past the urinals to get to the cubicles in the former men’s facilities".

A government source also told The Telegraph that it was "vital that women feel "safe and comfortable" when using public toilets, adding that: "These changes will stop the march of ‘universal’ and forced sharing of spaces - with a focus on guaranteeing privacy for all.

"This is a common-sense approach that is inclusive for all."

An announcement on the plans is expected to be made this week, according to government sources, and would be adopted following a technical consultation in the autumn.

Olivia Rodrigo stunned fans in Manchester last night after she jumped up on stage to sing in a local dive bar.

The 'absolutely mad' moment took place on the stage at Bunny Jackson's on First Street.

The global superstar had performed to a sold-out audience at the O2 Apollo earlier in the evening as part of her Sour Tour.

Three-time Grammy award-winner Olivia then popped in to the intimate bar and asked to sing a song with the house band.

A video shared by Bunny Jackson's shows the Driver's License singer belting out a version of Natalie Imbruglia's Torn, much to the delight of those in the bar having a Sunday night drink.

Drummer Oliver James said: "Why yes Olivia Rodrigo, of course you can turn up at Bunny Jacksons on a bloody Sunday evening and play a song for a laugh before our 3rd set."

He then added: "It was wild. They just showed up after playing the arena and her TM asked to jump on between our sets! They were all very lovely."

https://twitter.com/Oliver_james/status/1543754862491475972

One person said: "Nahhh not me being sat outside bunny jackson’s in manchester and heard somebody singing inside to then realise it’s olivia rodrigo as she runs past us outside with her security to her car! absolutely mad."

Someone else asked: "Did Olivia Rodrigo really pull up to Bunny Jackson’s lass night and hop on the karaoke? I’m not going insane am I?"

And another said: "Can’t believe Olivia Rodrigo was in bunny Jackson’s and sang with the bandeoke??? What the hell lol"

Olivia hit the headlines last week when she did a surprise Glastobury performance with Lily Allen.

The pair sang F*** You together, with Olivia directing the song to those who overturned Roe vs Wade in the US.

She said: "I'm devastated and terrified. So many women and so many girls are going to die because of this. I wanted to dedicate this next song to the five members of the Supreme Court who have showed us that at the end of the day, they truly don't give a shit about freedom. The song is for the justices."

The new boss at Manchester Airport has admitted there's no quick-fix to ongoing issues - but said things are "considerably better" than they were earlier this year.

The UK’s third largest airport announced last month that Chris Woodroofe had been appointed managing director after former MD Karen Smart stepped down from the role back in early April 2022 to return to the south of England and "pursue fresh career opportunities".

And now, Mr Woodroofe has spoken out for the first time since his appointment to give an insight into the current situation at the airport.

He has broken his silence and spoken out after what has been scenes of chaos for travellers over the last few months, with long delays, unplanned flight cancellations, and queues so long that many were required to turn up hours in advance and even then still miss their flights in the most unfortunate cases.

Speaking to both BBC Breakfast and ITV Granada this past weekend, Mr Woodroofe acknowledged that customers had suffered a "poor" experience in 2022, but unfortunately admitted that peak-time queues would continue over the coming months.

He did however vow to "get passengers on their way" this summer holiday season.

"It’s not going to be as good as we want it to be, it’s not going to be as good as it was in 2019 but what it will be is considerably better than it was three or four weeks ago," he told ITV Granada.

"The big issues of earlier this year are behind us.

"Are we in a position to say it’s going to be like it was in 2019? No, there are still going to be difficult periods, we are still on a recruitment ramp-up and as a result security officers are going to be fairly new and they are still finding their feet but you can see the positive steps in the right direction."

He added that the airport was "looking to rebuild", and told BBC Breakfast that it would aim to return to the standards seen in 2019 by the autumn.

Mr Woodroofe did however say that, despite these admissions, the vast majority of passengers travelling through the airport this summer are going to have a "reasonable experience", but reiterated that people should still turn up no earlier than and no later than three hours ahead of their scheduled flight.

https://twitter.com/BBCNWT/status/1542914463543840769?s=20&t=PlupO0guKtNrAYBlwcQL9Q

Chris Woodroofe - who is originally from Widnes - was previously the chief operating officer at London Gatwick Airport from 2016-2020, where he most-notably oversaw “a major programme of operational improvements” at the airport.

He held a number of senior roles there prior to that, including in customer service, security, and engineering.

Mr Woodroofe officially started in his new role at Manchester Airport on 15 June.

Since taking on his new role, Mr Woodroofe said his priority is to get people on holiday without having lots of cancellations, adding: "I’m sure we’ve all done what we can to line ourselves up to get everyone on their way.

"It won’t be the perfect experience that I would have liked it to have been, but it will be an awful lot better than it was earlier this year."

The Kimpton Clocktower Hotel and The Refuge are throwing a summer packed with Pride events this year.

The Summer of Pride will see the incredible venue overtaken by everything from sparkling cocktails to photography exhibitions to terrace parties.

The Manc Audio will be launching a summer residency on The Refuge Terrace, celebrating diverse up-and-coming DJs and music talent from across the region.

Hotel brand Kimpton has been supporting the LGBTQIA+ community for more than 41 years and will continue with its work all summer.

The hotel supports several charity partners, including George House Trust, which provides support services to people living with HIV and their carers and loved ones.

Those who work for the Kimpton Clocktower are also completing the Be Trans Aware training programme, which will help staff to understand and support the full gender spectrum.

Although Pride month is officially in June, the celebrations will continue into July at the huge Oxford Street hotspot.

There'll be a partnership with Sparkle Weekend, the world's largest free-to-attend celebration of gender diversity.

Sparkle Charity will host the event in Sackville Gardens between 8 and 10 July, but the Kimpton Clocktower will invite Sparkle Weekend members and hotel guests to a Sparkle Social Hour, with a drink on the house.

A special Sparkle cocktail will pop up on The Refuge's menu, mixing white rum, cranberry, almond orgeat and cacao blanco, topped with an apple and rose foam.

50% of proceeds from the cocktail will be donated to Sparkle, the National Transgender Charity.

The British Culture Archive are going to host a free new exhibition at the hotel, launching on 19 July.

Together As One - A Celebration of Manchester's LGBTQIA+ Community features photographs by Jon Shard and Peter J Walsh capturing some iconic moments in the city, including Flesh at The Hacienda and the protest against Margaret Thatcher in 1988.

The Come As You Are Weekender will make a return in August too, coinciding with the Manchester Pride celebrations on 27 and 28 August.

Speaking on the announcement, general manager of Kimpton Clocktower Hotel, Johan Scheepers said: "Inclusion and diversity is an integral part to the Kimpton Clocktower Hotel and Kimpton brand and we have always been extremely proud of this.

"It is crucial that any activity we do embraces the LGBTQIA+ community, so we’re more excited than ever to be announcing three-months of Pride championing activity.

"For us, it’s never just about doing something for Pride – it’s how we can spearhead the whole community throughout the entirety of the year. We look forward to welcoming all guests this summer and beyond."

A new hangover prevention pill that claims to leave people feeling "their best" the next day has gone on sale in the UK today.

And each pill is only £1 each.

Billed as being "the first product in history to break down alcohol effectively", Myrkl was first invented back in 1990 by scientist Johan de Faire, and has been "perfected over 30 years of research and design" by Swedish pharmaceutical firm De Faire Medical before Brits are now able to get their hands on it.

Although it won't be available to grab in stores, the Myrkl supplement can be purchased in the UK online - with a pack of 30 capsules costing £30.

Scientists say two pills should be taken an hour before drinking for maximum effect.

So, how exactly does it work then? Well, the probiotic pill contains bacteria that rapidly break downs bacterias named Bacillus coagulans and Bacillus subtilis, as well as two common vitamins (L-Cysteine and Vitamin B12), and the manufacturer says that all the ingredients are safe for consumption and have approval from the necessary food standards agencies.

As the Myrkl tablets are not actually classed as a medicine, they therefore do not need approval from the MHRA either.

Independent clinical trials of the pill last month found that preemptively taking the tablets reduced alcohol concentration in the blood by half within 30 minutes of having a drink.

After one hour, the reduction in blood-alcohol level was 70%.

Håkan Magnusson, CEO at Myrkl, said the trials "prove just how powerful this product is at breaking down alcohol".

Magnusson says that his product is the first pre-drinking hangover pill ever to reach the market, adding: "Marking the first time in history that a consumer product is demonstrated to effectively and rapidly break down alcohol, we are very excited to be launching this ground-breaking product in the UK and in most European markets. 

https://twitter.com/myrkl_UK/status/1543867374948032512?s=20&t=lS174L67ekXQXUTI-VJkGQ

"Moderate social drinking is a huge part of British culture, with the majority of British people heading out each week to enjoy a few drinks together.

"Myrkl's purpose is therefore to help those regular moderate drinkers to wake up feeling their best the next day, whether they're a busy working professional, young parents, or seniors who want to maintain an active social life."

Despite Myrkl's claims to have people waking up with a clear head the next day, Magnusson insisted that the tablets are in no way designed as "an excuse to drink beyond NHS guidelines".

He said the company is really convinced that Myrkl is "a game-changing product", and they wait for the British public to "try it out".

A popular vegan takeaway in Chorlton has announced its permanent closure.

Zad's was the first fully-vegan takeaway in the UK when it opened its doors on Barlow Moor Road in 2017.

Since then, vegan junk food has grown in popularity and plant-based alternatives crop up on menus across the nation.

The takeaway is famed for its pizzas, as well as its range of meat-free burgers, cauliflower wings, and macaroni cheese.

The owners of Zad's have been looking for a buyer for the business, but say 'the time has come to close our doors' for good.

Last year, they posted: "Zad’s is looking for a new owner and is going on the market for sale. Like many people, I have taken a lot of time over the last eighteen months or so to reassess many things and have come to the difficult realisation that I’m not the right person for Zad’s – I have a full time job which I love, a young family and a growing list of voluntary charitable commitments which just mean I don’t have the time to give to Zad’s that it deserves.

"Zad’s was started as a bit of fun, to give Manchester the vegan pizza it so desperately needed and there is still a huge need for what we do today.

"We have a huge fanbase and if the last eighteen months has taught us anything, it’s that when Zad’s gets the attention it deserves, great things happen. We flourished through lockdown and provided an incredibly important service to all of our wonderful customers when you needed us most."

Sadly, the Chorlton takeaway has now announced that it's been unable to find someone to take over, and it will close after a few last celebrations.

The business is revisiting some of its most popular specials over the coming weeks before it closes on Sunday 24 July.

Zad's posted on Instagram: "Well… after almost a full year of trying to find a buyer for Zad’s, the time has come to close our doors.

"We will be celebrating our 5th birthday on Thursday 21st July and will close our doors for the final time on Sunday 24th July. It’s been a hell of a rollercoaster and thank you all for your support over the last 5 years.

"More updates coming on our plans for the next 4 weeks, including specials, and details of how we can get our food to everyone before we close. I’m sure they’ll be a blog post before long too, with all the details around our decision to close."

Fans of the takeaway have expressed their dismay to see the business close.

One person wrote: "What a shame. Absolutely paved the way for vegan junk food in Manchester."

Another said: "You guys were the trailblazers of vegan fast food in Manchester."

Someone else commented: "Such a massive shame. Goodbye to the best vegan takeaway pizza ever."

Manchester landmark Victoria Baths is set to open as a swimming pool again this year.

The beautiful building hasn't hosted a swimming session in three years but is planning a bumper event to make up for lost time.

The Big Splash will take place in September, complete with supper clubs, fancy dress and giant inflatables.

The Gala Pool at Victoria Baths dates back to 1906 but closed as a swimming baths in 1993.

To refill and heat the pool now takes 96 hours, or four days, requiring the equivalent of 1500 baths-worth of water.

Surrounding the Grade II-listed pool itself are 45 individual changing cubicles.

The Big Splash is the heritage venue's biggest fundraising event of the year and all money raised from the swim tickets goes to protecting the building's future.

For three days only, visitors will have a chance to see the space as it once was, thanks to United Utilities and a team of volunteers.

On the Friday night, there'll be the chance to have a swim, then join in with a three-course supper club in one of the other former pools, hosted by The Sri Lankan Experience.

Tickets for the swim and supper club event cost £45.

On the Saturday and Sunday, there will be lane swimming between 8am and 9am (£16 a session), with hot drinks and pastries served in the Tea Room.

Teams in the Premier League and Championship have been permitted to introduce safe standing areas at stadiums next season.

Following safe standing pilots undertaken in the second half of last season by the city's two local teams, Manchester United and Manchester City, as well as Cardiff, Chelsea, and Tottenham Hotspur, the UK government has now announced that the top two tiers of English football will be allowed to offer safe standing.

Brentford, Wolves, and QPR have already confirmed they will join the aforementioned clubs in offering designated standing areas for both home and away supporters from the start of the 2022-23 season.

The success of the pilot scheme has lead to a reversal of the 30-year rule, which required all supporters to be seated at stadiums.

Stadiums in England's top two leagues have been required to be all-seated since laws were introduced following the 1989 Hillsborough disaster.

Sky Sports News says it understands that Liverpool FC are not considering introducing the options for safe standing next season, but the club may decide to extend or increase their existing rail seating provision after having run a separate pilot for it last season.

It's not just domestic football that's been given the green light either either, as it's also been confirmed that Wembley Stadium will also offer limited safe standing for fans from both sets of clubs at domestic matches later in the season, with the Football Association (FA) set to trial safety rails at England's Nations League match against Germany in September - but at that stage, supporters must remain seated.

The green light given for safe standing comes after research was undertaken by CFE Research, which found that, despite there being a rise in anti-social behaviour and disorder at some football matches during last season, this was not related to the pilot of safe standing areas.

The research also found no evidence that the safe standing pilot areas led to an increase in standing in other parts of the stadium, and more than half of fans surveyed (52%) said they felt safer with the introduction of safe standing areas.

Only 5% of fans surveyed said they felt less safe.

"We're confident now that we can roll out safe standing," explained Sports Minister, Nigel Huddleston.

"Based upon what I have experienced and we have learnt through the pilot programme, safe standing is set to deliver an electric atmosphere at our football stadiums. Fans have long campaigned for its introduction and we have worked carefully with supporters groups, including the families affected by the tragic Hillsborough football disaster.

"I am proud of the work that has gone into this rigorous process, and that we have delivered on our manifesto commitment to get fans back on their feet in stadiums."

Martyn Henderson OBE - chief executive of Sports Grounds Safety Authority (SGSA) - added: "This is an historic moment for football - and, most importantly, for the fans who have campaigned for this change and will be safer as a result of today’s decision."

Noel Gallagher has been criticised by a disability charity after the star revealed he 'blagged' his way onto the accessible platform at Glastonbury.

The former Oasis star said in a podcast that he used his Access All Areas pass to bypass security so he could watch Jamie T's performance from the viewing area, which is reserved for disabled people.

Though Noel said his group didn't realise it was the disabled platform, he's since been criticised for comments he made about the incident.

The 55-year-old rocker told Matt Morgan on his podcast: "We couldn't get to the bit on stage because we were f***ing wasted."

He added that he 'flashed my pass and said this lot are with me and we walked on to this platform - unbeknownst to us it was the disabled platform'.

The Mirror reported that he said: "I said: ‘See that pass mate? It gets me any-f***ing-where," and joked that he 'would have' tipped someone out of a wheelchair for a prime spot.

Warren Kirwan, media manager at disability equality charity Scope, said: "The casual abuse and belittling of disabled people in this interview is vile. There is no excuse for this kind of language.

"On top of that, accessible platforms aren’t for privileged rock stars and their friends. These platforms exist so that disabled people can enjoy live music - without them many of our festivals would simply be off limits."

Scope added on Twitter: "Noel may belittle the experience of disabled music fans. But for many, the reality of attending live music and festivals can be stressful and upsetting."

A mum from Manchester who was told she only had months to live has now been given the breast cancer all-clear after a groundbreaking drug trial.

51-year-old Jasmin David from Fallowfield was a previously fit and healthy mother of two grown-up children, and was working as a clinical lead at a care home for the elderly, before she discovered that she had an aggressive triple negative form of breast cancer in November 2017 after finding a lump above the nipple.

Following her diagnosis, Jasmin then underwent six months of chemotherapy and a mastectomy in April 2018, followed by 15 cycles of radiotherapy.

These treatments successfully cleared her body of cancer, but sadly, back in October 2019, the cancer returned, and scans showed multiple lesions throughout her body meaning she had a poor prognosis. 

Jasmin then discovered that the cancer had unfortunately spread to the lungs, lymph nodes, and chest bone, and was given the devastating news that she had less than a year to live. 

Two months later, and with no other options left, Jasmin was offered the opportunity to be part of research by participating in the first phase of a two-year groundbreaking clinical trial, which she accepted, and then in December 2019, began treatment at the National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR) Manchester Clinical Research Facility (CRF) at The Christie NHS Foundation Trust in Manchester.

During the trial, Jasmin is given an experimental medicine combined with Atezolizumab - an immunotherapy drug administered intravenously - which she continues to have every three weeks. 

Jasmin says she feels "reborn" after beginning the treatment trial.

And she's now showing no evidence of the disease, and enjoying life with her husband David and children Ryan and Riona.

"I was 15 months down the line after my initial cancer treatment and had almost forgotten about it, but then the cancer returned," Jasmin explained.

"When I was offered the trial, I didn’t know if it would work for me, but I thought that at least I could do something to help others and use my body for the next generation. At first I had many horrible side effects including headaches and spiking temperatures, so I was in hospital over Christmas and quite poorly - but then thankfully, I started to respond well to the treatment.

"I celebrated my 50th birthday in February 2020 while still in the middle of treatment and not knowing what the future held.

"Two and a half years ago, I thought it was the end - and I now feel like I’ve been reborn."

By June 2021, scans showed no measurable cancer cells in Jasmin's body and she was then declared cancer free, but will still remain on treatment until December 2023.

Professor Fiona Thistlethwaite, medical oncologist and clinical director of Manchester CRF at The Christie - who is leading on the study in the UK - said: "We are really pleased that Jasmin has had such a good outcome, and at The Christie, we are continually testing new drugs and therapies to see if they can benefit more people."

A man who documented his journey with incurable cancer has died just days after his friend, Dame Deborah James.

Darren Roberts appeared as a guest on BBC's You, Me and the Big C podcast, which was hosted by Deborah along with Steve Bland (who replaced his wife Rachael when she died) and Lauren Mahon.

The 54-year-old, who was also known as The Enlightened Arsehole, was first diagnosed with bladder cancer in 2016, which developed into metastatic kidney cancer.

Darren was praised by many for his frank and honest account of the disease, with gifting project Don't Buy Her Flowers describing him as 'a source of great comfort and solidarity to many'.

•

A statement posted on his Instagram page announced that he died yesterday, 4 July, in the early evening, and paid thanks to the staff at The Royal Marsden.

The statement said: "There is so much I want to write here as Darren was one of life’s greats - a real character and a true gent - but I simply don’t think there is enough space. Everyone that met Dazza fell a little bit in love with him.

"Whilst my time with him was cut short way too soon, I look upon every moment of my 3.5 years with him as the biggest gift. I’m so happy the stars aligned and brought us together - we were soulmates and each other’s ‘one’."

It then described Darren's last craving (which he called his 'hankerings').

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wbrckJY4eUY

The post says: "Two days before he passed away he had slept most of the morning and couldn’t speak that clearly. I suddenly heard the faint word ‘Mortadella’ muttered and I realised he wanted a mortadella sandwich.

"The nurses tipped me off about the best Italian deli on the Fulham Road and so off I marched in search of this special sandwich that Sir had requested. Whilst his appetite had really dwindled, he sat in his bed and ate every last bite of that sandwich, washed down with a can of coke. He kept giving me the thumbs up and called it his ‘last supper.’ Which heartbreakingly it was.

"In honour of my Dazza, I’d like to ask you all to enjoy a mortadella sandwich at some point soon and remember him. If you don’t know what it is and have never tried it - even better - you will thank him!

"He received so much support from you all on here so I’d like to thank you for being there for him.
Godspeed my love. 26.07.67 - 04.07.22."

Steve Bland paid tribute to Darren, writing: "I am going straight away to get a Mortadella sandwich and the rest to toast an extraordinary guy who did so much to help so many people. Rest easy pal. You smashed it."

He also wrote: "Absolutely gutted. Top man and part of the YouMeBigC family, who took us along through his whole journey. Rest easy pal."

Six days ago, when Dame Deborah passed away, Darren simply wrote: "I cannot say anything at the moment - I’m genuinely gutted. #f*ckcancer."

Award-winning north Manchester rapper Aitch is giving away free train tickets to help under 25 year olds get to gigs and festivals across the UK this summer.

The new initiative, called The Aitch-S2, pokes a bit of fun at the government's scrapped northern HS2 scheme and says it aims to 'rebalance cultural accessibility outside of the M25' to 'spotlight bubbling music scenes across the UK.'

Running for eight weeks between July and August, the alternative travel scheme will release hundreds of train vouchers worth up to £100 each.

The idea is to give under-25s the ability to cover their rail travel costs to music events in different cities - helping young music fans to balance the return of music events and festivals post-Covid with the rising cost of transport and living.

His Aitch-S2 initiative hopes to make a difference by removing some of the financial barriers that might restrict people from making the most of the first summer since the lifting of restrictions.

As a northern artist who is known for supporting rising stars in his hometown of Manchester, Aitch is evidently passionate about regional scenes, talents and cultures and says he wants to help people 'break out of their city limits'.

Speaking on his involvement in the Relentless Aitch-S2 scheme, he said: “I’m really excited to launch The Aitch-S2 with Relentless - there’s so much amazing culture around the UK, but for young people to experience it, they need to break out of their city limits, which is hard to do when it's so expensive to travel outside your hometown.

"I don’t want anyone missing out on what is going to be a summer to remember, so this initiative will help young Brits get back out there and have fun, no matter the location.”

The launch of the Aitch-S2 initiative marks Aitch’s second year heading up the Relentless Without Limits campaign, which aims to inspire the next generation to live, dream, dance and create without limits. 

As part of this year's without limits campaign, Aitch fans will also be able to win a day with the rapper via an on-can promotion that will be running from August. 

The Aitch-S2 travel scheme will run for eight weeks from 5 July to 26 August.

Under 25s can apply from anywhere in the UK for free travel across the national rail network by visiting www.aitch-s2.com, with travel vouchers worth up to £100 allocated on a weekly basis.

Underground Manchester trainer consignment store Sneaker 63 has made headlines around the world this morning after sharing a 'first world look' at the latest pair of rare Nike Air Jordans ahead of their official release.

The first shop in the world to show the brand new Air Jordan 2 Low x Two 18 collab, thanks to the 'leak' the hidden Chinatown trainer store has blown up across the globe overnight - getting media coverage from sneaker fans in America, Brazil, Japan and Hong Kong.

The store is known for getting its hands on super-rare pairs of trainers and is full to the brim with elite and exclusive designs, some of which sell for as much as £6,000.

And whilst they tell us that these new Aid Jordan 2s are more likely to go for around the £200 mark, the prestige of having the shoe first is worth way more than the shoe's retail value.

Speaking to The Manc, they described getting their hands on these extremely rare Jordans first as being like 'looking [for] and finding a rare or unseen Pokemon.'

Created by Detroit sneaker retailer Two 18 in collaboration with Jordan, the shoes feature a full suede build with tonal browns covering the upper and leather liner with subtle red and blue paneling.

The soles feature Two 18 branding, whilst the tongue is dressed in the usual Wings logo.

Owner Jack Chen has some great connections in the sneaker world, cultivated through meets and events he goes to, and is helping to put Manchester on the map for sneakerheads.

It certainly seems to have worked. Since opening the store in Chinatown in 2019, Manchester has welcomed the arrival of quite a few more shops in Sneaker63's image - Kershkicks, Kick Game, and Crespslocker, to be precise.

Jordan has made the Air Jordan 2s a priority for this year, and whilst Sneaker 63 tell us the UK 'isn't ready for Jordan 2 at the moment' that hasn't stopped them from getting ahead of the curb and debuting the new shoe collab.

Since sharing the post yesterday, the store has featured on the front pages of some of the world's best sneaker pages - including Nice Kicks and the Japanese page Up to Date, both followed by big-name sneakerheads and rappers like Michael Jordan's son Marcus Jordan, Pigeon SB dunk designer Jeff Staple, and rappers Mayor and PJ Tucker.

Other rare pairs the store has stocked in recent years include players’ edition shoes made for the Oregon basketball team; a limited, executive-level ‘friends and family’ release of Para’s Nike Airmax 1 collab; Chinese New Year custom Jordans 1’s (one of just 50 pairs in the world); and a leaked early pair of the Travis Scott x Jordan collaboration. 

Whilst Jordan Brand and Two 18 are yet to officially comment on this collaboration, it's exciting to see an independent Manchester store putting the city on the map in such a big way.

An accessible rave created for adults with learning disabilities is returning to Manchester this month.

The Under One Roof rave will take over the basement at YES on Charles Street.

The Fat Britney - one half of the Fatcamp DJ collective - will be DJing the event when it takes place on Thursday 21 July.

Under One Roof said of its event, and headliner The Fat Britney: "Manchester’s only accessible rave returns to YES Basement on Thursday 21st July for a summer party!

"This time round, they welcome the very talented THE FAT BRITNEY behind the decks.

"Aptly described as a curvy curator of camp, they make up one half of FATCAMP collective, she believes in baseline supremacy, disco edits, buffet dining and in the enduring power of the Macarena.

"Resident of PREACH club, Rainy City Radio and Steam FM THE FAT BRITNEY refuses to take herself seriously and doesn’t encourage you to either."

The Fat Britney said: "If parties won’t make themselves accessible, we’ll throw our own. Smash every door in and put a ramp down! See you on the dance floor!!"

A huge new late-night bar, music venue and restaurant has just tentatively opened its doors on Manchester's Oxford Road ahead of a swanky launch this Friday.

Split across three floors, a 600-capacity underground club will host a mixture of live gigs, panel sessions and club nights, with a special members-only viewing mezzanine and late-night bar open until 4am, seven nights a week.

Upstairs, a sleek restaurant and bar from the same team behind the city's south American Peru Perdu restaurant will serve a globe-trotting menu of crowd-pleasing small plates alongside a long drinks list of inventive aperitifs, highballs and sundowners.

From the chinola picante, a spicy mix of scotch bonnet, passionfuit and vanilla, to a 'frozen nuclear daiquiri' made with overproof Wray & Nephew, chartreus verte and citrus, the restaurant's bar menu is worth popping in for alone.

Highballs span the likes of Plantation pineapple rum with mint and kombucha, a refreshing Belvedere lemon and basil with yuzu sake, pistachio and lemon tonic, and the cafe torino - a mixture of Mr Black's coffee amaro with sweet martini and soda.

Elsewhere on the drinks front, you'll find a good selection of wines, beers and softs, as well as different spirit mixers to order.

As for the small plates, which span everything from fish and chips to steamed prawn and pork dumplings, there really is something for everyone here - although, we have to bemoan the fact that there are no chopsticks to eat the dumplings with.

Smack bang in the heart of university land with a wealth of international students living above, the menu seeks to cater to global tastes. This makes it an ideal choice for fussy friends, as there's no way anyone can look at the varied list of 30+ dishes and decide there's nothing there for them.

Here, beautifully crispy Korean fried chicken sits side-by-side with garlic portobello mushrooms and 'disco fries' topped with saffron mayo, jalapenos and truffle.

Further choices include steak bavette with roast tomatoes and chimmichurri, green pea hummus, Thai fishcakes and a good range of sandwiches ideal for a quick but hearty lunch. Like we say, plenty of choice.

The new venue is currently in its soft launch period with 50% off small plate until 6 July. It is also gearing up to launch a new breakfast menu, which will also be available for diners to enjoy at a discount from 11-17 July.

Membership is priced at £15 per month for under-30s, including perks like two free gigs per month, free guest passes and access to invitation-only parties, as well as entry to the 4am members-only bar and acess to the best views via the members' mezzanine. Prices for over-30s start at £25.

Members will also get guestlist access to events, priority bookings and restaurant discounts – all whilst being part of the community with their say on key decisions within the club.

All of the Canvas venues will be fully open to the public from Friday 8 July, whilst later this summer, a plunge pool and sauna will be added to the expansive site.

The RSPCA has issued some advice for those struggling to care for their pets as the cost of living crisis continues.

The charity said that rising prices are leading to people worrying about everyday expenses, including pet care.

A new report, the Animal Kindness Index, found that 78% of pet owners think the rising cost of living will impact their animals.

68% of people expressed concern that the cost of care was increasing, and 19% said they were worried about how they'd afford to feed their pets.

The costs of everyday living are surging and, understandably, more people are worrying about how they're going to be able to afford to cover their expenses, including their pets.

The RSPCA has put together eight tips to try and help people save money while still caring for their furry, feathered or scaled friends.

Consider switching food

The RSPCA has suggested researching for cheaper pet food that still has all the dietary benefits your pet needs, or mixing their regular food with a cheaper brand to make it stretch further.

The charity also pointed out that dry food goes much further than wet food.

It's always a good idea to check with your vet before making any changes to your pet's diet.

Buy prescriptions online

It's often cheaper to buy medication online, rather than purchasing it directly from a vet.

Your vet can write a prescription for a small fee, leaving you free to order the medication online.

Ditch the pet-sitter

The RSPCA has also suggested using trusted friends and family to help you care for your animal when you're out at work or away.

Professional dog-walkers and pet-sitters can be expensive.

They said: "Why not start up a responsible community group where you all help each other out with pet care? Just remember to introduce your pets to new people gradually and ensure they are comfortable with their new friends before leaving them in charge."

Payment plans

Vet bills can quickly add up, and of course we're all happy to spend money on our beloved pets' welfare.

But did you know some vets offer payment plans so that you can spread the cost, allowing you to spread the cost across several weeks or months.

Shop around for insurance

As with all insurance, premiums can go up quickly, but you can usually find better deals if you spend the time to shop around.

The RSPCA has warned that you take care to find a policy without limitations, and remember that pre-existing conditions won't be covered.

Make your own toys and treats

You don't need to stop pampering your pooch just because you're pinching the pennies - the RSPCA has a few tips for DIY enrichment.

You can make your own pet treats, toys and activities, like a puzzle feeder for cats or even tiny sushi for guinea pigs.

Focus on prevention

Preventing problems is usually cheaper than treating them once they arise, such as behavioural problems, worming, and flea treatments.

These issues can all become costly if they aren't addressed.

Some vets offer a paid monthly subscription for wormer, tick and flea treatment to spread the cost.

Exotic pet care

A lot of exotic pet breeds have a complex list of needs, including heating and lighting.

The RSPCA has suggested moving multiple animals into the same room so that heat sources don't have to work too hard, cutting down on energy bills.

They said: "Don't be tempted to turn down temperatures or light sources as this can lead to debilitating conditions for exotic animals - and potentially high vet bills in the future. Speak to your energy supplier if you're struggling, they may be able to offer a cheaper tariff or payment plan."

A former doctor from Oldham who killed a mother-of-three after botching a routine procedure has been jailed for three years.

85-year-old Dr Isyaka Mamman pleaded guilty to gross negligence manslaughter at Manchester Crown Court this week over the death of Shahida Parveen, 48 - who died at the Royal Oldham Hospital in 2018 when Dr Mamman had been carrying out a routine appointment to take samples.

Dr Mamman - who was 81 at the time - used the wrong needle for the procedure, and inserted it in the wrong place, which pierced the sac holding Mrs Parveen’s heart.

The court heard Mrs Parveen attended Royal Oldham Hospital on 3 September 2018 to give a bone marrow sample, which is usually taken from the hip bone, but, after failing in his first attempt, Dr Mamman tried to instead take it from her sternum.

This was a "highly dangerous" procedure, the court was told.

Despite objections from Mrs Parveen and her husband, the court was told Dr Mamman performed the procedure and used the wrong biopsy needle, missed the bone, and pierced her pericardium (the sac containing the heart), which caused massive internal bleeding.

Ms Parveen lost consciousness as soon as the needle was inserted, with her husband running from the room shouting: "He killed her. I told him to stop three times and he did not listen. He killed her."

Before this fatal incident, Dr Mamman had already been suspended for lying about his age, and was subsequently sacked but then re-employed by the hospital, where he was also then responsible for a series of critical incidents before the fatal appointment - including one which had led to another of Mamman's patients being permanently disabled three years earlier.

Jailing him for three years at Manchester Crown Court, Mrs Justice Yip said the death was his main responsibility, but the hospital trust should have done more after Dr Mamman had lied about his age and botched two earlier similar procedures.

She called the execution of the procedure on Mrs Parveen "grossly incompetent".

Following Mrs Paveen's death, a consultant provided an expert opinion that the procedure had been inappropriately and incompetently performed, and the court heard that at the time, there were no standard operating procedures, guidelines, or local safety standards for taking bone marrow biopsies.

Speaking on the outcome of the sentencing, Dr Chris Brookes - Group Chief Doctor and Deputy Chief Executive for the Northern Care Alliance NHS Foundation Trust, which runs The Royal Oldham Hospital - said: "We wish again to offer our sincerest condolences to Mrs Parveen’s family and friends and we are deeply sorry for their loss.

"Following Mrs Parveen’s death in September 2018, the Trust launched a thorough internal investigation to examine the circumstances leading up to and following this tragic incident and The Trust implemented improvements following investigation, which were shared with Mrs Parveen's family.

"The Trust has admitted liability in relation to a civil claim brought by the family.

"The Trust has liaised closely with Greater Manchester Police throughout their investigation and the subsequent legal proceedings concerning Dr Mamman."

First, they brought us Hacienda gin, and now, Three Little Words is serving us a boozy Hacienda brunch - bringing together some of the iconic club's original DJs and founders for a one-off knees-up.

Rishi Sunak and Sajid Javid have both quit their positions within the Government.

The Chancellor - who is the most senior person in government after Boris Johnson himself - and the Health Secretary both announced this evening that they would be resigning.

Mr Sunak said: "The public rightly expect government to be conducted properly, competently and seriously. I recognise this may be my last ministerial job, but I believe these standards are worth fighting for and that is why I am resigning."

His resignation letter stated: "It has been an enormous privilege to serve our country as Chancellor of the Exchequer and I will always be proud of how during the pandemic we protected people's jobs and businesses through actions such as furlough.

"To leave ministerial office is a serious matter at any time. For me to step down as Chancellor while the world is suffering the economic consequences of the pandemic, the war in Ukraine and other serious challenges is a decision that I have not taken lightly."

His letter stressed that he had been 'loyal' to the Prime Minister but that he had concluded their 'approaches are fundamentally too different'.

The letter also said: "Our country is facing immense challenges. We both want a low-tax, high-growth economy, and world class public services, but this can only be responsibly delivered if we are prepared to work hard, make sacrifices and take difficult decisions.

"I firmly believe the public are ready to hear that truth. Our people know that if something is too good to be true then it's not true. They need to know that whilst there is a path to a better future, it is not an easy one.

"I am sad to be leaving Government but I have reluctantly come to the conclusion that we cannot continue like this."

Mr Javid said in his resignation letter that the British public 'rightfully expect integrity from their government.

He continued: "The tone you set as a leader, and the values you represent, reflect on your colleagues, your party and ultimately the country.

"Conservatives at their best are seen as hard-headed decision-makers, guided by strong values. We may not have always been popular, but we have been competent in acting in the national interest.

"Sadly, in the current circumstances, the public are concluding that we are now neither.

"The vote of confidence last month showed that a large number of our colleagues agree. It was a moment for humility, grip and new direction. I regret to say, however, that it is clear to me that this situation will not change under your leadership - and you have therefore lost my confidence too."

The announcements from both Conservative party members came within minutes of each other but it's understood they did not coordinate their resignations.

It's another devastating blow for the Prime Minister, who narrowly survived a confidence vote in June and has been embroiled in the Partygate scandal for months.

Just this evening, the PM apologised for appointing MP Chris Pincher as deputy chief whip after claims the MP groped two men last week.

Boris Johnson is set to face MPs in the House of Commons today less than 24 hours after two senior ministers resigned from their roles.

In what was a devastating blow to the Prime Minister, former Chancellor of the Exchequer Rishi Sunak, and former Health Secretary Sajid Javid, handed in their resignation letters yesterday evening and stepped down from their roles as two of Boris Johnson's most senior and trusted cabinet members during his time in office.

In Mr Sunak's shock resignation letter posted to Twitter, he stressed that he had been "loyal" to the Prime Minister over the years, but that he had now concluded their "approaches are fundamentally too different".

"I firmly believe the public are ready to hear that truth," he added in his letter.

"Our people know that if something is too good to be true then it’s not true. They need to know that whilst there is a path to a better future, it is not an easy one. I am sad to be leaving Government - but I have reluctantly come to the conclusion that we cannot continue like this."

https://twitter.com/RishiSunak/status/1544368323625947137?s=20&t=T9x5XIz6dCLiNkxw3BHBDg

Similarly, Sajid Javid said in his resignation letter that the British public "rightfully expect integrity from their government", adding: "The tone you set as a leader, and the values you represent, reflect on your colleagues, your party and ultimately the country.

"Conservatives at their best are seen as hard-headed decision-makers, guided by strong values. We may not have always been popular, but we have been competent in acting in the national interest.

"Sadly, in the current circumstances, the public are concluding that we are now neither."

He added that last month's vote of no confidence in the Prime Minister showed "humility, grip and new direction," and that it is "clear" to him that "this situation will not change under your leadership - and you have therefore lost my confidence too."

Mr Sunak and Mr Javid announcing they would be stepping down yesterday evening subsequently lead to a wave of other resignations, with a total of 10 Conservative MPs announcing they would be leaving their positions - two cabinet ministers, one minister, four parliamentary private secretaries, one vice chair, and two trade envoys.

All resignations were in the wake of the Prime Minister's handling of the ongoing row over MP Chris Pincher's conduct - who quit as deputy chief whip last week after claims that he groped two men at a private members' club.

Mr Johnson had been told about concerns around Mr Pincher's behaviour dating back several years, and after having several MPs and ministers publicly deny that he had any knowledge of this, eventually admitted in interviews this week to knowing about the claims when he the "bad mistake" to promote Mr Pincher to chief whip.

It has been confirmed that Nadhim Zahawi has been named the new Chancellor, and Steve Barclay has become Health Secretary.

https://twitter.com/sajidjavid/status/1544366218789937152?s=20&t=T9x5XIz6dCLiNkxw3BHBDg

The Prime Minister will now face MPs in the House of Commons for Prime Minister's Questions (PMQs) today from 12pm - which is less than 24 hours after the resignations.

He is expected to be quizzed on a range of topics, including "integrity in politics", the rule of law, and Ukraine and its impacts on the UK - but of course, he will most likely be hit with questions over his handling of Mr Pincher's promotion, the resignations of last night, and other pressing issues.

The Pincher row is the latest issue to prompt Conservative MPs to question the Prime Minister's leadership and direction of the current government - which has been dogged by a series of controversies in recent months.

The ongoing 'Partygate' scandal and the police investigation into parties in Downing Street during lockdown has grabbed most of the headlines this year, but other Tory MPs have also expressed dissent over tax rises, the government's response to rising cost of living crisis, and its policy direction going forward.

A recent snap YouGov poll of more than 3,000 people has found that seven in 10 Brits think Mr Johnson should resign as Prime Minister - but he has reportedly told allies that he intends to fight on despite the resignations.

Labour leader, Sir Keir Starmer, said he would welcome a snap election and that the country needed a change of government, adding: "After all the sleaze, all the failure, it's clear that this Tory government is now collapsing."

A Number 10 source said the PM is determined to "deliver what he promised the people".

Chester Zoo has rescued a three-legged Ploughshare tortoise from illegal smugglers in Hong Kong, and he's said to be one of the rarest in the world.

The newest's tortoise resident - who has been named Hope - is one of the world’s rarest animals, with fewer than 300 remaining in the wild, and he now calls the UK's largest charity zoo his home after being rescued by customs officials from a would-be wildlife trader who was found with a suitcase concealing 57 live and endangered tortoises when travelling from the Comoro Islands off the coast of East Africa in 2019.

Only 63 specimens of Ploughshare tortoise are said to "exist legally" outside of Madagascar as part of vital conservation breeding programmes battling to save the species.

"Chester Zoo is now home to four of these," a spokesperson for the zoo said.

He added that the tortoise species was "highly prized for their distinctive gold and black shells", and are known to fetch "exceptionally high prices" on the black market.

After being rescued, Hope was immediately transferred into the care of conservationists at Kadoorie Farm and Botanic Garden Wild Animal Rescue Centre in Hong Kong, where he was found to be missing his front left leg and claws on its hind left leg, which were said to possibly be due to a birth defect, or injury picked up when very young.

Experts in Hong Kong decided to fit support rollers under Hope's lower shell to help with his balance and movement, and further modifications were then made to the rollers at Chester Zoo after he arrived in the UK.

Dr Gerardo Garcia, Curator of Lower Vertebrates and Invertebrates at Chester Zoo, said Hope's prosthetic mobility support has been "specially-fitted to help him get around".

"It works wonderfully well - he moves even quicker than his three neighbours."

Conservationists at Chester Zoo now say they're looking for Hope to live up to his name and eventually join an important European conservation-breeding programme - which is playing a vital role in saving this critically-endangered species from extinction.

"He’s settling in nicely to his new home," Dr Garcia added.

"Hopefully, in several years’ time once he’s more developed, he’ll go on to produce offspring and contribute to the survival of the species thanks to the vital insurance population in conservation zoos."

• 

• 

"This is a species that’s sadly under huge pressure for its survival and there’s a very real possibility that this species could be lost forever," added Mike Jordan - Director of Animals and Plants at Chester Zoo.

"That’s why Hope is such an important addition to the zoo.

"We refuse to sit back and see this incredible species disappear and so our aim now is to maintain an ark population, by coming together with some of the world’s other leading conservation zoos to breed a genetically viable safety net population and prevent its extinction."

Ploughshare tortoises are native to Madagascar.

The species is listed under the highest protection category of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITIES) - which prohibits all forms of international commercial trade - and is listed as critically endangered by the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN) having been poached to the very brink of extinction.

It will also allow shoppers to see the cult hair tool, the £479.99 Dyson Airwrap, in action, as well as the brand's other hair styling technologies.

The makers of a new documentary have put out a casting call, and they're looking to speak to people with "very large penises".

Being particularly well-endowed is often seen as a positive attribute by many, but now, a brand-new documentary has been commissioned to discuss "the hidden problems of living with a very large penis", and casting directors are in need of people to take part and share their personal experiences.

The documentary is set to look at all aspects of life with a large penis, of course including your sex life, and will also show what help is out there for those in need.

Titled 'Too Large For Love', this new documentary is being created by Spun Gold - which is the production company behind shows such as The Real Full Monty, Love Your Garden, Britain’s Most Luxurious Hotels, and My First Threesome.

A nationwide casting call has recently been posted to casting website, Lost in TV.

In the advert, the casting directors explain that they are seeking participants over the age of 18, of any sexuality or ethnicity, who have what would be considered an exceptionally large penis.

The casting call reads: "A recent survey found that nearly half of the male population wish they had a bigger penis. So, a bigger penis, a better life, right? Well, not always.

"A brand new documentary is to discuss the hidden problems of living with a very large penis, how it effects all aspects of life including your sex life, and what help is out there for those in need.

“We’d like to speak to people about their positive and negative experiences of having a large penis, or being with someone who has one."

At this moment in time, not a lot is known about the new documentary, but more details about its filming and release dates, and potential hosts, are set to be revealed in due course, so keep your eyes peeled.

Too Large For Love will join an ever-growing list of sex-related shows on UK television, which includes the likes Channel 4‘s Naked Attraction, Sex Box, and Me And My Penis.

In celebration of the start of the Women's Euro's, fifteen pubs in Greater Manchester will be giving out free pints to punters this July.

The catch? You'll need to have the right surname in order to get a freebie, because it's all about supporting the Lionesses.

The promotion, launched by pub chain Greene King, is offering pub-goers with the same surname as the competing team members the chance to enjoy a pint on them this month.

Pints will be available on select days throughout July, with the first freebies kicking off on Wednesday 6 to coincide with the first Women's Euro's match.

The first group game kicks off with England going up against Austria at 8pm. Anyone who shares a family name with one of the players simply needs to show their photo ID during the match at a participating pub to get a drink on the house.

There are two further matches taking place this month, England v Norway on 11 July and England v Northern Ireland on 15 July.

The Greater Manchester pubs taking part in the promotion are as follows:

• Lass O'Gowrie (Manchester)
• Flying Horse (Heald Green)
• Kings Ransom (Sale)
• Bent Brook (Urmston)
• The Flag (Bromley Cross)
• George & Dragon (Hazel Grove)
• Bulls Head (Hazel Grove)
• Matchstick Man (Salford)
• Knowsley (Bury)
• Robin Hood (Tottington)
• Romiley Arms (Romiley)
• Rose & Crown (Bury)
• Royal Oak (Chorlton Cum Hardy)
• Wellington (Bury)
• Ye Olde Cock (Didsbury)

The campaign has been designed to create some momentum around the Women's Euro's matches, as historically there tends to be more interest in men's football matches - as seen last year with the whitewashing of the women's teams achievements from the 2021 men's Euro's coverage.

Despite never winning the tournament, the England women’s team has been to the Euros eight times and have reached the final twice. During the men's 2020 tournament, it was widely reported that England had not been in the finals since 1996 -despite the women's team coming second in 2009.

It's hoped that the offer of a free pint might do something to help British football fans better remember the women's team after a survey showed Brits are nearly three times more likely to have heard of a male England footballer than their female counterparts.

These are the surnames who qualify for the free drink:

• Earps
• Hampton
• Roebuck
• Bright
• Bronze
• Carter
• Daly
• Greenwood
• Stokes
• Wubben-Moy
• Kirby
• Scott
• Stanway
• Toone

A series of Stranger Things-themed skating sessions are taking over one of Manchester's newest roller rinks next weekend.

There is absolutely no denying that much of the world is Stranger Things obsessed at the moment, with all eyes firmly on the fourth series of the smash-hit science fiction horror drama - which has recently been released in two instalments on Netflix, and has broken a handful of streaming records on its way.

Starring Winona Ryder and David Harbour, and making household names out of its young cast of stars - including Millie Bobby Brown, Finn Wolfhard, Noah Schnapp, Gaten Matarazzo, Caleb McLaughlin, Sadie Sink, Joe Keery, Natalia Dyer, and many more - Stranger Things has gone on to develop a dedicated fanbase.

Since first hitting Netflix back in July 2016, the show has also received widespread critical acclaim for its characterisation, atmosphere, acting, soundtrack, directing, writing, and for paying plenty of homages to 1980s film and pop culture.

Most recently, Stranger Things 4 has just become the first English-language series in streaming history to rack up over one billion hours viewed in the first four weeks of release.

And now, Good Life Skates is set to properly celebrate the popular programme in style.

In case you missed it, the brand-new roller rink opened its doors above Escape To Freight Island’s main hall last month, and now, the retro venue has revealed plans for its first summer on wheels - with a whole host of events in the coming months.

One of the stand-out events has to be the 'Skatefire Club', with the venue inviting fans to "celebrate all things Stranger Things" next weekend.

"Lace up your skates and boogie along to the soundtrack of the show we all know and love."

Taking over the roller rink on Friday 15-Sunday 17 July, tickets for the Stranger Things-themed 'Skatefire Club' are now on sale, and fans can find out more and book here.

Off peak ticket prices range from £8.50, with peak hours from £10. Bring Your Own Boots (BYOB) costs from £7. The daily sessions run on Thursday and Friday from 4pm to 10pm, Saturday from 10am to 10pm, and Sunday from 10am to 9pm.

You can expect pop classics all day on Saturdays with 'Stop, Pop & Roll', plus fun sing-along sessions too.

What's more, is that the mezzanine rink can also be hired for private parties and kids parties, with a private room adjacent to the rink available.

There's.a new 'party bike' experience in Manchester that gives punters the chance to pedal themselves about the Northern Quarter whilst sipping on 'BYO' pints.

Known as the MCR Party Bike, the bee-emblazoned contraption has been shipped over from Europe and can seat up to 12 people at a time.

It requires a minimum of six people to get it moving and is already proving to be something of a bargain day out, as pedallers are even able to bring along their own booze to save some money.

Launched by two local lads who previously ran bars over in Majorca, Stuart Smith, 51, from Monton, and Shane Steenson, 33, from Mossley, came up with the idea after paying a trip out to Dublin where Shane's cousin runs something similar

Having invested a lot of time and money into adapting the bike, they've finally managed to get it out on the road - and despite only being out and about for a couple of weekends, it's already caused quite the stir amongst city-dwellers.

Whilst the duo are in talks with local Northern Quarter businesses about collaborating to offer takeaway drinks, for now, no such deal has been arranged - meaning that bikers can hop on with their own booze for the low-low price of £10 per person.

As the pair both have other jobs, the MCR Party Bike is a weekend-only affair. Running every Saturday from 1 to 9pm, bookings run at hourley intervals. Walk-ups are also welcome, provided the bike isn't too busy.

The route starts at Hilton Street and then loops around the Northern Quarter, taking around 30-40 minutes in total.

Speaking on their new venture, the pair told the Manchester Evening News they've had a great reception so far: "We've only been out a few weekends and you wouldn't believe the reaction we get.

"It doesn't fly along, it just trundles along, and even if we've got a bus behind us, you'll see people stopping and taking photos.

"We've put a big sticker on the back saying 'smile and wave to the party bike' and people just do. They love it, it's all good fun.

"It was a good laugh this weekend, we're still buzzing about it. It's unbelievable when we drive through Stevenson Square it's like we've won the Oscars or something the amount of people taking photos and videos."

Three years on from its opening under the Grade-II listed railway archways in central Manchester, Manchester Gin's bar and restaurant is very much settling into its surroundings.

As sleek and stylish as ever, it has recently introduced a new signature cocktail menu - the third in as many years - celebrating the processes behind its spirit-making operation next door at The Spirit of Manchester Distillery with a 16-strong drinks list.

No longer content with just making gin, the team has branched out to explore the worlds of rum, vodka, vermouth and even absinthe - the famous 'naughty water' beloved by artists like Picasso, Gaudi, Hemingway and Dali.

Its new Bar & Drinks Development Manager, Daniel Clarke, has put together a new menu 'Ground to Glass' to showcase all of these new creations, whilst in the kitchen Head Chef Karl Kivell is busy crafting fresh, flavourful small plates - all thoughtfully developed to complement the cocktails on offer.

From a hearty Italian-inspired sausage roll served with mustard-yellow apple ketchup to beef skirt marinated in the house-made spiced One-Eyed Rebel Rum, Karl had certainly had some fun with the food menu.

Whipped cheese with radishes, beer-battered fish with shoestring fries and curry sauce and prawns in a rich and spicy tomato 'nduja sauce all make for pleasant table-fillers as you tuck into the impressive cocktails.

Elsewhere, an anchovy and heirloom tomato salad is prepared with Manchester Gin Wild Spirit, whilst on the dessert menu sweet tooths will find a Manchester Raspberry Infused Millefeuille, giving another boozy hit to the food menu here.

As for the drinks, hero cocktails include 'For Miso Sake', an Asian-inspired cocktail featuring Manchester Gin Wild Spirit, red pepper, plum saké, jasmine and miso, served in a glass inside a traditional Japanese Masu Box, and the striking 'Under Pressure', a smoky delight with Manchester Gin Raspberry Infused, watermelon infused Aperol, mint, lime distillate and apple, topped with a show-stopping bubble made from citrus.

Having recently won the Team of the Year at the Top 50 Cocktail Bar Awards, the venue is "really pushing" themselves, says Jen Wiggins, owner at Three Little Words and co-founder of The Spirit of Manchester Distillery.

“In this menu, we wanted to hone in on the countless fascinating processes that take place to turn grains and plants into the spirits and drinks that we all love. Every day in our distillery we work with these processes from distilling, extracting, infusing and macerating.

Manchester's free-to-enter Italian festival is set to return to the city for its fifth year this summer, bringing a weekend-long celebration of Italian food, drink and culture to Cathedral Gardens.

Brought to the city by family-run Italian restaurant group Salvi's, the festival has become something of a favourite amongst local foodies - earning its stripes as a great place to discover locally-made Italian treats.

From wood-fired pizzas and freshly-cooked pasta to take-home treats like cannoli and arancini, there's always plenty of great food stalls to explore as well as a host of workshops, demonstrations, signings and banquets from celebrity chefs and award-winning authors.

This year, the festival returns to Festival Piazza, Cathedral Gardens across the August Bank Holiday weekend from 26-28 August.

The epitome of the city’s Italian community and heritage; it takes an undeniable inspiration from the traditional festivals in Italy whilst chucking in a healthy dose of Mancunian charm, for a weekend of the very best in authentic food, drink, music, performance, and art.

The event is now in its fifth year following an emphatic return in 2021, after a Covid enforced break, which saw it have its most successful edition to date with a record-setting 38,000+ happy folk passing through over the sun-drenched weekend.

This year will see some much-loved Festa stalwarts return alongside some exciting debutants and some very special surprises.

In attendance will be Gennaro Contaldo, UK brand ambassador for Parmigiano Reggiano, (Saturday Kitchen, Two Greedy Italians, Jamie and Jimmy's Friday Night Feast), Giancarlo Caldesi (Return to Tuscany, Saturday Kitchen, Sunday Brunch), celebrity chef and award-winning restaurateur, Aldo Zilli (The One Show, This Morning, Celebrity Masterchef), Great British Bake Off 2021 winner Giuseppe Dell'Anno, and, Festa head honcho, Salvi’s owner Maurizio Cecco.

In addition, Carmela Sereno Hayes, the hugely popular pastaia (AKA: specialist pasta maker) and author, will be making her hotly-anticipated return to Festa Italiana and running her, much talked about, pasta workshops all weekend long.

As always, the Salvi’s team will be joined by some of Manchester’s finest Italian street-food vendors and restaurateurs, as well as live musicians and performers supplying a proper party atmosphere to be enjoyed well into the evening.

A carefully curated selection of the leading Italian drinks brands, including Gin Mare, Luxardo and Poretti, will also be on hand with something to suit all palates and quench every thirst.

Culture fans will not be disappointed as their artistic appetite will be fed by an exciting photography exhibition that cannot yet be talked about in detail, but there is news coming soon.

If you’re coming with all the family, you can rest assured that the Festa will provide fun spaces and activities for the kids; there really is something for everyone.

More details of the festival are set to be announced in the coming weeks.

An online plant shop has gone viral this week after eagle-eyed shoppers noticed its box design is a bit on the rude side.

PLNTS, which sells and delivers a massive range of houseplants and pots, chose to wrap its brand name around a corner of its boxes.

But it turns out that when you chop 'PLNTS' in half horizontally, it looks an awful lot like... 'penis'.

Much to the delight of people over on Twitter, with a tweet about the box receiving more than 83,000 likes at the time of writing.

https://twitter.com/amzeratul/status/1543944744337899520

A spokesperson for PLNTS said the design was 'unintentional' but that they were enjoying reading the comments that have flooded in.

A fierce debate about whether the graphic designer responsible chose the placement on purpose has erupted online.

One person said: "As a graphic designer i know that nothing is ever unintentional they knew EXACTLY what they were doing."

Another wrote: "I would love to believe that this was 100% intentional."

Someone said that the graphic designer responsible should be given a raise.

"When I see stuff like that I always imagine a bunch of designer friends daring each other to get away with writing/drawing the stupidest stuff they can. In the design classes we did, it was fun," said one user.

And someone shared their own cheeky design job, writing: "Reminds me of the time where I almost got away with putting a botanical illustration of cannabis in the bg menu design for a restaurant I hated working at. Designers can be sneaky.."

A PLNTS spokesperson said: "We did notice the post going viral already, we think it is great! I can imagine the designer chuckle behind their desk while watching this unfold.

"As far as we know this was unintentional in the design. Our team is also having a great time reading everyone's comments."

What a ballsy move from that graphic designer.

Boris Johnson has agreed to resign from his position as Prime Minister.

A Number 10 spokesperson confirmed that the PM 'will make a statement to the country today'.

Boris Johnson will resign as Conservative leader today and will continue as Prime Minister until autumn.

Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer has said it 'should have happened long ago' and that Mr Johnson 'was always unfit for office'.

The PM has faced controversies and calls to step down for several months, from Partygate to Pincher.

He narrowly survived a no confidence vote last month after a year plagued by scandal.

His decision to step down comes after two days of huge resignations, including former Chancellor Rishi Sunak (the second-most senior person in government after Mr Johnson himself) and former health secretary Sajid Javid.

• 

At the time of writing, there have been 54 resignations.

The PM quickly recruited Nadhim Zahawi in the role of Chancellor, but the senior minister turned against him almost immediately.

A number of cabinet ministers met with Mr Johnson at Downing Street to tell him it was 'time to go'.

https://twitter.com/nadhimzahawi/status/1544950219657330688/

Mr Zahawi today published an open letter which stated: "My number one priority has and always will be this great country. When asked to become Chancellor, I did it out of loyalty. Not to a man, but loyalty to this country and all it has given me.

"The challenges Britain faces, be it inflation or Putin's war in Ukraine, will not pause for anything, and it is vital that the major offices of state continue to function through a national crisis. If people have thought poorly of me for that decision, it is criticism I am willing to shoulder.

"Yesterday, I made clear to the Prime Minister alongside my colleagues in No10 that there was only one direction where this was going, and that he should leave with dignity. Out of respect, and in the hopes that he would listen to an old friend of 30 years, I kept this counsel private.

"I am heartbroken that he hasn't listened and that he is now undermining the incredible achievements of this Government at this late hour. No one will forget getting Brexit done, keeping a dangerous antisemite out of No10, our handling of covid and our support for Ukraine in its hour of need.

"But the country deserves a Government that is not only stable, but which acts with integrity.
Prime Minister, you know in your heart what the right thing to do is, and go now."

A No 10 source says Boris Johnson has spoken to Tory 1922 Committee chairman Sir Graham Brady and agreed to resign.

He will stay in the position for now, but a new party leader will be appointed by the time of the party conference in October.

Sir Keir Starmer said: "It is good news for the country that Boris Johnson has resigned as Prime Minister. But it should have happened long ago. He was always unfit for office. He has been responsible for lies, scandal and fraud on an industrial scale. And all those who have been complicit should be utterly ashamed.

"The Tory Party have inflicted chaos upon the country during the worst cost of living crisis in decades and they cannot now pretend they are the ones to sort it out.

"They have been in power for 12 years. The damage they have done is profound. 12 years of economic stagnation, 12 years of declining public services, 12 years of empty promises.
Enough is enough.

"We don't need to change the Tory at the top - we need a proper change of government. We need a fresh start for Britain."

This is breaking news story. More to follow.

Travellers making their way to Manchester Airport are now being told to prepare for traffic delays on surrounding motorways.

After what has been scenes of chaos for holidaymakers over the last few months at the UK's third largest airport, with long delays, unplanned flight cancellations, and queues so long that many were required to turn up hours in advance and even then still miss their flights in the most unfortunate cases, it now seems the disruption isn't limited to when you step foot inside the airport.

Those travelling from Cheshire and other western parts of Greater Manchester to Manchester Airport are being urged to leave extra time for journeys starting from next week.

It's all because of ongoing overnight work on the M56 eastbound carriageway, and National Highways is saying it will effect anyone who is taking late night and early morning flights between 9am and 7pm.

Work is set to begin on Thursday 14 July and is due to finish on Friday 5 August and into Saturday 6 August.

A series of overnight closures will be in place between the two dates.

"On nights when the eastbound carriageway is closed, those good diversions will be in place but our key message for people heading to the airport for an early morning flight is to please spend a little time planning journeys before setting out and follow the diversion advice once you are approaching the airport," explained Sajjad Ali from National Highways.

National Highways has released information on a number of diversion options for those travelling to Manchester Airport during the affected dates.

Anyone travelling to the airport from Junction 7 of the M56 at Altrincham should use the northbound A56 through Altrincham, eastbound A56, then the southbound A5144 Thorley Lane/Delahays Road and eastbound A538 Hale Road from Timperely to Hale Barns then using Runger Lane to get to the airport and junction 5. 

This route is not suitable for commercial vehicles.

• 

• 

Drivers preferring to use the alternative motorway route should join or stay on the M6 at Lymm interchange - M56 junction 9/M6 Junction 20 - travelling north to junction 21 of the M6, and they should join the eastbound A57 Manchester Road, anti-clockwise M60 and westbound M56 for junction 5.

National Highways say the M56, between junction 6 at Hale Barnes and junction 8 at Bowdon, will also be closed nightly, apart from at weekends, over that same period.

"We have an ongoing conversation with the airport about our construction programme and only close carriageways when we need the space to work safely," Sajjad Ali concluded.

People in Manchester were stunned yesterday at the sight of three fighter jets flying low over the city centre.

The sound of roaring engines could be heard right across Greater Manchester just before 8pm, sending some people into a panic.

One person said they were 'too busy sh**ting my pants to take my camera out' at the unusual sight of the aircraft.

Another said they 'idly wondered if WWIII had started'.

But the planes were here for celebratory purposes rather than anything more sinister.

The RAF confirmed yesterday that three Typhoons would conduct a flypast over Old Trafford to mark the opening of the UEFA Women's EURO tournament.

The air force said: "The RAF is proud to support the opening of the UEFA Women’s Euro 2022 Tournament and will be cheering on the Lionesses tonight and Northern Ireland tomorrow night.

"Sport is an important element of Service life in supporting mental and physical wellbeing; the RAF empowers its aviators to get involved in sports through its Elite Athletes Scheme."

https://twitter.com/Kirsty_Grimes/status/1544759029867634689

Although the RAF put the news out ahead of the flypast, the planes still caught several people by surprise.

One person said on Twitter: "So anyone in Salford Quays/Manchester just hear some sort of loud plane that sounded like it was about to crash? I even checked flight radar and nothing. Am I going insane?"

Another wrote: "Three fighter jets just flew over Hulme, Manchester. Now my heart is racing because I thought a plane was coming down! Very loud! Very unusual. We are not normally on the path for training exercises."

Someone said: "Thought a missile or super fast jet plane was about to hit my flat it was that loud and fast!"

One user on Twitter suggested: "Feel like it should’ve been more widely know that jets were flying around Manchester because hearing them go over so low was spooky."

One Reddit, someone posted: "Was stood out front with my phone in my hand heard the noise and still wasnt quick enough, felt like they were clipping the chimneys! Never seen one so low."

— Kirsty Grimes 🌝 (@Kirsty_Grimes) July 6, 2022]]> https://themanc.com/trending/deaf-altrincham-girl-makes-new-friend-through-pioneering-pen-pal-scheme/ Thu, 07 Jul 2022 11:01:44 +0000 https://themanc.com/?p=289516

A deaf girl from Altrincham has made a new friend through a "pioneering" pen pal scheme that's currently running across the UK.

10-year-old Emma Groves said that she decided to join the Pen Pals Project - which was initially set up by the National Deaf Children’s Society as a response to the isolation deaf young people were experiencing during lockdown - because she wanted to make friends with other deaf children who were going through similar experiences as her.

Since being set up back in 2020, the Pen Pals Project has helped more than 200 deaf children to create new friendships, feel less isolated, develop their communication skills, and most-importantly, view their deafness with more positivity.

The "pioneering" scheme is free for all deaf children and young people between six and 18, and youngsters who take part are matched with another person of a similar age, interests, and communication preference to them - whether that be through British Sign Language (BSL), Signed Supported English, or even speech.

While many of the youngsters either email their letters or record videos in BSL for each other, plenty of others have chosen to go down the traditional pen pal route and handwrite messages or draw pictures to send to their new friends.

And this is exactly what Emma chose to do.

Emma - who lives in Altrincham with her parents Andreina and Mike, and her seven-year-old brother Sammie - was born deaf, but has always enjoyed reading and writing and has aspirations to become a writer when she is older, so it's easy to see why she jumped at the opportunity to write to her new friend through the scheme.

The keen writer says she was very excited to let her pen pal know about her school, her likes and dislikes, and how she had been taking part in after school sport activities with her deaf friends.

Emma's mum Adreina said having a pen pal was especially useful because her daughter was concerned about what to expect at high school, and luckily, her pen pal already attends high school, and was able to lend a hand in reassuring her that it was less stressful than she might have imagined.

"Emma loves meeting new people," Andreina said.

"This project was an opportunity for her to connect with someone facing similar challenges, and she enthusiastically replied to every message, and at the end of the project, she asked for the communication with her pen pal to continue."

Emma added: "My teacher suggested I might like to take part as she knows I like reading and writing and I’m always happy to meet other people. It was amazing because the letters were about things we love doing, and we found out the subjects we like and don’t like at school, and how we both like video games.

• 

• 

"Having a pen pal makes me feel very happy.

"I carried on with her because I really like making new friends, and hopefully one day we can meet in person."

As mentioned, the National Deaf Children’s Society set up the Pen Pals Project during lockdown to help connect deaf young people, and they hadn't intended on keeping it running past then, but after the demand for the scheme was so high, the charity has decided to carry it on.

Speaking on the success of the scheme, project coordinator Amy New said: "It’s really taken off and deaf children are already telling us they feel more connected and more positive about their deafness [so] it’s become a really important service for lots of deaf children and it’s made a real difference.

"We’ll provide it for as long as they need it."

Manchester dive bar Bunny Jackson's is bringing all the chicken goodness to First Street this summer with its new 40ft long Winnebago 'chicken bus'.

The site is already fabled amongst fried chicken fans for its 20p wings, which can be ordered dry or slathered in a range of mouthwatering sauces.

Not content with that, it's now upping the ante for the summer season, taking its chicken on the road - or at least, out onto the First Street estate - with a giant new Winnebago set up, complete with deck chairs, loungers, and baskets full of those famous wings.   

Offering plenty of outdoor seating as well as a big screen showing sports fixtures ‘til late, the new Bunny's wing wagon is set to stay put all summer.

Open until 10pm, if you head to the bar first you can grab a flyer to get some money off your first round - and they might even give you a cheeky free shot.

Inside, the wing wagon's bar is painted in white capitals spelling out 'bad decision centre' with a second message underneath reading 'you really should know better'.

You'll find the new 'chicken bus' parked up just a stone's throw from the popular dive bar, which made headlines this week following a surprise late-night performance by Olivia Rodrigo.

This week, the First Street dive bar will also be the first bar in the UK to serve BuzzBallz' ball-shaped cocktail cans, which come in six different flavours -  Choc Tease, Tequila ‘Rita, Strawberry ‘Rita, Lotta Colada, Chili Mango and Espresso Martini. 

Timed to coincide with the Wimbledon semi-final screening this Friday, the bar will be serving up the single-serve premixed cocktails  alongside big screens showing all the sporting action.

Earlier this week, the American singer hopped on stage at the bar with Bunny Jackson's house band to deliver a rendition of Natalie Imbruglia's 90s hit Torn, after her sold-out show at O2 Apollo.

A daredevil Northern nan has raised over £1,500 and counting for a local charity after completing a 15,00ft skydive.

To mark 30 years since the start of the Carer Support South Lakes charity, and to raise some worthy funds for the Kendal-based organisation in the process, 61-year-old Jane Eccles from Flookburgh in Cumbria successfully completed her first-ever skydive by leaping from a whopping 15,000 feet.

There's no denying that free-falling at 120mph isn't for everyone, but Jane proudly said the entire experience was "absolutely amazing".

If you're unfamiliar with the charity, Carer Support South Lakes supports unpaid Carers of all ages across Cumbria, and provides them with access to information, emotional support, advocacy, financial support, and opportunities to take a much-needed break.

It's also a charity that's close particularly close to Jane's heart.

The mother of two sons and three stepchildren, and grandmother of five grandchildren, volunteers to support Young Carers at the charity part time, and said she felt she "wanted to do something to highlight the important work it does".

Jane completed the jump with local skydive company, Skydive North West, in tandem with professional skydiver Ed Roscoe at Cark Airfield in Flookburgh, and her family were out in full force to watch and support her.

Looking back on her thrilling experience, Jane told ITV Granada: "When we first arrived at the base, the people who had gone up earlier landed in the rain and I thought we might not get up - but the clouds broke, and we managed to do an amazing jump.

"Apparently, I was the noisiest one coming down.

"All the others were very serene and came down not saying anything, while I was whooping, screaming and shouting."

Jane set up a dedicated JustGiving page for the skydive, and since taking the brave leap, has managed to raise over £1,500 and counting in donations - which she says she is "so grateful" for and "will make a huge difference".

"I’m so grateful to all those people who have given money so far," Jane continued.

"Donations, whether large or small, will make a huge difference to the charity and help it to continue its vital work with carers."

Boris Johnson has delivered his resignation speech on the steps of 10 Downing Street.

The Prime Minister said: "I want you to know how sad I am to be giving up the best job in the world - but them's the breaks."

He also assured people that 'our future together is golden'.

While delivering his speech, nearby protesters blasted Bye Bye Baby by the Bay City Rollers.

There were loud boos and jeers when Mr Johnson mentioned the NHS.

He said that he was 'immensely proud of the achievements of this government', referring to Brexit, the war in Ukraine, and the pandemic.

It's not yet known when he will officially leave Downing Street, as the process begins to appoint a new leader.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vCklg0Flsr8

The PM had faced increasing pressure to step down from his position in recent weeks amid several scandals, from Partygate to Pincher.

A slew of resignations from across government have flooded in this week, with 59 MPs quitting in the last two days, including his trusted Chancellor Rishi Sunak.

Boris Johnson's resignation speech in full

"It is clearly now the will of the Parliamentary Conservative Party that there should be a new leader of that party and therefore a new PM and I've agreed with SIr Graham Brady, the chairman of our backbench MPs that process of choosing that leader should begin now. The timetable will announced next week. I have today appointed a cabinet to serve, as I will, until a new leader is in place.

"I want to say to the millions of people who voted for us in 2019, many of them voting Conservative for the first time, thankyou for that incredible mandate, the biggest Conservative mandate since 1987, the biggest share of a vote since 1979.

"The reason I have fought so hard in the last few days to continue to deliver that mandate in person is not just because I wanted to do so but because I thought it was my job, my duty, my obligation to you to continue to do what we promised in 2019. Of course, I am immensely proud of our achievements in government. From getting Brexit done to settling our relations with the continent for half a century, reclaiming the power for this country to make its own laws in Parliament, getting us all through the pandemic, delivering the fastest vaccine rollout in Europe, the fastest exit from lockdown and in the last few months standing up to Putin's aggression in Ukraine.

"Let me say now to the people of Ukraine, we in the UK will continue to back your fight for freedom for as long as it takes, at the same time in this country we've been pushing forward a vast programme for infrastructure and skills, technology, the biggest in a century because if I have one insight into human beings it's the genius, talent and enthusiasm and imagination are evenly distributed through the population but opportunity is not and that's why we must keep levelling up, keep unleashing the potential of every part of the UK. If we can do that we will be the most prosperous in Europe.

"I have been trying to tell my colleagues it would be eccentric to change governments when we're delivering so much and have such a vast mandate and actually only a handful of points behind in the polls when we're midterm and after quite a few months of relentless sledging and when the economic scene is so difficult domestically and internationally. I regret not being successful in those arguments and of course it's painful not to see through so many ideas and projects myself.

"As we've seen at Westminster the herd instinct is powerful and when the herd moves, it moves. My friends in politics, no-one is remotely indispensable. Our brilliant and Darwinian system will produce another leader equally committed to taking us through tough times not just helping families to get through it but changing and improving the way we do things, cutting the burdens on businesses and yes, cutting taxes because that's the way to generate the growth and income we need to pay for great public services.

"To that new leader, whoever he or she may be, I say that I will give you as much support as I can. To you, the British public, I know there will be many people who will be relieved and quite a few disappointed, I want you to know how sad I am to be giving up the best job in the world but them's the breaks.

"I want to thank Carrie, our children and all the members of my family who have had to put up with so much for so long. I want to thank the fearless British civil service for all the help and support you've given our police and our NHS who at critical moments helped to extend my own period in office as well as our armed services and our agencies that I so admire around the world and our Conservative members and supporters whose selfless campaigners makes our democracy possible.

"I want to thank the wonderful staff here at Number 10 and Chequers and our prop force detectives, the one group who never level. Above all, I want to thank you, the British public for the immense privilege you have given me. I want you to know that from now on until the new Prime Minister is in place, your interests will be served and the government of the country will be carried on.

"Being Prime Minister is an education in itself. I've travelled to every part of the UK and in addition to the beauty of our natural world I've found so many people possessed of such boundless British originality and so willing to tackle old problems in new ways, even if things can sometimes seem dark now our future together is golden. Thankyou very much."

One of the world's most beloved tales is being brought to life on the stage, and it's heading to Manchester.

A musical version of Roald Dahl's classic children's story Charlie and the Chocolate Factory will arrive at the Palace Theatre next summer.

It's already proven to be a smash-hit on both Broadway and the West End, based on the 1964 novel of the same name.

We'll have to wait until July 2023 (4 - 30 July, to be precise) to see the magical show, but tickets will go on sale today.

In case you're unfamiliar with the story, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory - The Musical tells 'the devilishly delicious tale' of young golden ticket winner Charlie Bucket and the mysterious confectionary wizard Willy Wonka.

A synopsis for the musical production reads: "When Charlie wins a golden ticket to the weird and wonderful Wonka Chocolate Factory, it’s a chance of a lifetime to feast on the sweets they’ve always dreamed of.

"But beyond the gates astonishment awaits, as down the sugary corridors and amongst the incredible and edible delights, the five lucky winners discover not everything is as sweet as it seems.

Drivers are being warned they could be hit with hefty fines if they fail to keep their cars in a clean and tidy condition.

Many of us are guilty of leaving rubbish like fast food packaging, coffee cups, or empty drinks bottles in our cars from time to time - but if it all starts to pile up, this is when you could find yourself in a bit of trouble.

While it’s true that there's no specific rule against having your car like a tip, and in some cases, it’s actually celebrated - especially with a woman from Manchester having been voted as having the "messiest car in the UK" last year - Brits are now being told to be aware that if your vehicle becomes too cluttered internally, it poses a potential risk to your ability to drive.

If a piece of rubbish lodges itself under the pedals, for example, then experts are warning it could be the cause of a catastrophic accident.

Well, what kind of fines are we talking then?

Well, rule 237 of the Highway Code states that all motorists must drive with care and attention, and a failure to do this could turn into a hazard - which would result in the person behind the wheel not meeting the standard required of a competent driver, and therefore not showing due consideration for other road users.

If stopped by the roadside, a £100 fine and three points can be put on your licence.

Then for more serious offences, this could result in anywhere from three to nine penalty points, and a discretionary fine of up to £5,000 - all depending on the severity.

In the worst case scenario, if there is a fatal accident due to the lack of care from the driver, then they could not only be handed an unlimited fine and a driving ban, but they could even be facing up to five years in prison.

"Few of us can honestly say we’ve never left a little rubbish in our vehicles," admitted Andrew Jervis, co-founder of online car repair marketplace, ClickMechanic.

"However, it’s important to be aware of all of the potential hazards that could arise.

"Empty drinks containers are certainly one of the most common, as they can move around as we drive, and if one manages to roll its way into the pedal area, it could spell disaster if it becomes lodged underneath the brake or distracts the driver.

"So it’s much better to keep your vehicle free from mess, as not only does it create a better driving environment, it could help prevent a terrible crash or severe consequences."

A huge new mural of punk rock singer and guitarist Pete Shelley has appeared in Leigh, Greater Manchester, this afternoon.

Created in tribute to the late punk rock icon, it sits in the heart of the community where he was born and grew up and still has family today.

Based on the cover of The Buzzcocks’ 1978 single Ever Fallen In Love and a portrait of Shelley, created by artist Chris Gabrin in the same year, it's been designed by artists Malcolm Garrett and Akse P19.

The latter is well known in the city for his photo-realistic portraits of pop culture icons, and his work is often seen popping up in prime locations across Manchester.

Situated close to Leigh Town Hall and the historic Turnpike Centre, the new mural is Akse's biggest yet - sitting smack bang in the heart of Leigh. Initiated by The Pete Shelley Memorial Campaign, it has taken over three years of fundraising in order to complete the project.

At a whopping 200 meters squared, it's not an easy one to miss if you're in the area and has taken around a week to complete - with the finishing touches, including a final coat of protective varnish, being applied by the street artist this afternoon.

Whilst the artwork has been unfolding over the past week, locals have had some fun trying to guess who it might be - with Akse posting a range of updates to his social media showing the piece at various stages of completion.

Sharing an image of the mural with just the hair, background and outline complete, he asked: "Slow progress, can you guess who’s the subject I’m painting?" - and got some surprising responses.

A surprisingly large number thought it could be Ghislaine Maxwell, perhaps created in response to Quebek's recent Prince Andrew mural which appeared in Manchester over the Jubilee weekend.

Others guessed it could be anyone from Hayley Cropper to Bruce Lee, Jonny Marr, or even Liza Minelli.

One person commented: "If it’s not Jonny Marr, it’s not too late to make it Jonny Marr anyway"

Another said: "With just that hairstyle I’d have to guess any Mancunian man between the ages 35 - 45?"

A third got it spot on, saying: "Pete Shelley but first thought was Liza".

The mural is now complete, to the delight of Shelley’s cousins Howard Lycett and Rebecca Hamilton, who still live in the local area.

The pair told Louder Than War: "As a family, we are delighted to have Pete back in his hometown and looking as vibrant as he ever was.

"Pete was always incredibly proud of his northern roots, and we hope that the mural will help Pete’s legacy live on and inspire more young artists and musicians to break down barriers and follow their dreams”.

The new mural will officially be revealed on 10 July in Leigh from 12 noon.

Manchester's first-ever vegan 'vish' and chip shop has sadly closed its doors after just a year and a half trading in the city.

Originally hailing from Leeds, the popular vegan takeaway JJ's Vish and Chips opened its second site here in M12 back in February last year and was instantly hailed as a revelation by plant-powered foodies.

But now, its owner has shared the sad news that she'll be closing both northwest sites over the coming days.

The Manchester site has already closed, but the original takeaway in Leeds will remain open and continue to serve its customers until Saturday 9 July.

Sharing the news on social media on Thursday, owner Jess Jones wrote: "It is with a heavy heart that we have decided to close our doors.'

Citing 'numerous factors' including 'massive delivery platform fees, rising costs of oil, utilities, fuel, stock and more', she said that it had 'not been an easy decision' to close but she felt that it was 'a necessary one'.

Saying that she didn't want to 'keep increasing [...] prices beyond what we believe is reasonable', she also pointed to the impact of the pandemic and the cost of living crisis, which she said had 'understandably changed customers' ordering habits.'

The takeaway gained something of a cult following amongst vegan foodies, with people exclaiming over the quality of its house marinated banana blossom, nori-wrapped tofu, battered pickles and svam fitters, reports The Hoot.

However, now it seems it may be the end of the road for the chippy - although its owner remains optimistic that she could reopen the business in the future.

The post continued: "We have enjoyed serving the people of Leeds for just over three years and Manchester for a year and a half. It has been a rollercoaster of a journey with many things thrown at us as a new independent business.

"But it has also been an incredible journey too thanks to the loyalty and kindness of our amazing customers.

"I personally want to thank my family and friends who supported me with my somewhat mad idea at the beginning of 2019 and continued to do so throughout.

"A massive thanks goes to every single member of staff that has worked at JJs. I couldn't have done it without you!

"Hopefully, this is not a goodbye but a 'see you later.'"

Fans were quick to comment their heartbreak at the chippies closure, with one person writing: “Sorry to hear Jess was the best chippy in Leeds”

Another said: “So sorry to hear this! Your cheesy bean balls are the best! Great food and staff you will be back”

A third commented: “so so sad!!!!!! the Best vegan fish&chips ever!!!”

40 local individuals and businesses have been announced as finalists for the brand new Northern Gamechanger awards.

The all-new awards programme will celebrate the forces for good in our business communities and honour leaders in the region making a real difference in their fields.

Unlike most awards ceremonies, there aren't defined categories here - rather, finalists are recognised for their work in a number of areas, from sustainability and social mobility to diversity and decarbonisation.

The 40 finalists announced today include some of the most familiar business names in the region, including TalkTalk, HideOut Youth Zone, Go Thrift, UA92 and The Juice Academy, as well as brilliant individuals.

• 

• 

The awards themselves are set to take place on 14 September.

10 total Northern Gamechangers will be announced then, chosen by judges including The Manc Group managing director Anna Gledson, Capital & Centric co-founder Tim Heatley, founder of SA Consulting Sharon Amesu, and drector of Manchester Fuel Cell Innovation Centre Amer Gaffar.

The brand-new awards programme is the brainchild of north-west based business consultancy, Elevate, and was launched after noticing the little recognition available for those making a real difference.

Katie Robson, co-founder and director of Elevate, said: "Seeing so many individuals and organisations across the region being nominated has been brilliant.

"We already knew there were plenty of people using their influence for good, but this has really highlighted the game changing attitudes of the north’s pioneering business community.

"We can’t wait to champion those people who are making a real difference – the main reason we wanted to launch Northern Gamechangers, was to shout about the fantastic work people are doing in the realms of sustainability, charity, diversity and many more."

There'll be accessible ticket prices for the ceremony itself, which will be a fun and relaxed evening of celebration and networking - with no white tablecloths in sight.

Programme sponsors include leading independent PR agency, The PHA Group, which last year launched its northern base; Manchester Central, the city’s thriving exhibition and conference centre; and Appleyard Lees, Intellectual Property specialists.

Stadium stands at the 2022 World Cup are set to be "alcohol-free" zones, with beer sales outside arenas only allowed before and after some matches.

A source with knowledge of plans for the upcoming football tournament exclusively revealed to Reuters that, as this year's World Cup is the first to be held in a Muslim country with strict controls on the purchasing and consumption of alcohol, stands inside stadiums are to be "alcohol-free" zones.

Qatari laws surrounding alcohol are said to be presenting some "unique challenges" for organisers of such a sporting event that tends to not only be associated with beer-drinking fans, but also by global brewing brand sponsors.

According to Reuters, organisers will allow alcoholic sales outside of the venues before and after certain matches - but there will be a complete ban on inside stadiums.

This latest insight provided by the source comes after there has long-been a question mark over alcohol at this year's tournament since the Qatar state won the rights to host the World Cup back in 2010, as although it is not a completely "dry" state like neighbouring the Saudi Arabia, consuming alcohol in public places is illegal in Qatar.

However, according to the source and a recent document published last month, spectators will able to buy beer during restricted times in certain parts of the main FIFA fan zone in the Al Bidda park in the Qatari capital of Doha.

"Unlike previous World Cup fan zones, beer won't be served all day long, but at restricted times," the source added.

The document also shows that alcohol will be available for 15,000 to 20,000 fans on a disused corner of the Doha Golf Club as well - but this is said to be some kilometres away from stadiums and the main fan zone.

A spokesperson for the organisers, Qatar's Supreme Committee for Delivery and Legacy, told Reuters that, together with FIFA, that they will announce plans on the availability of alcohol at the upcoming 28-day tournament "in due course".

The spokesperson said: "Alcohol is already available in designated areas in Qatar, such as hotels and bars, and this will not change in 2022. With the aim of catering to visiting fans in 2022, alcohol will be available in additional designated areas during the tournament."

The price of beer inside the fan zones and close to the stadium has also not yet been agreed, the source said.

Northern Quarter favourite Home Sweet Home has announced it will close its doors for good after one final service on Saturday.

The popular brunch and burger restaurant - beloved for its cakes, pancakes and milkshakes - has been feeding loyal fans on Edge Street for over a decade, but now bosses say it's time for them to 'move forward' with 'new projects' instead.

Sharing the news of the eatery's closure in a heartfelt post on social media on Thursday night, bosses wrote: "After 10yrs of milkshakes, cheeseburger toasties, a million breakfasts and a whole bunch of happy tummies sadly guys it’s time for us to go.

Saying, unequivocally, that 'it sucks', they continued: "sadly HomeSweet just has to float away into the chocolate river."

"It’s been the most wonderful of times and we will miss soothing your hangovers and satisfying your cravings. Drop in, say goodbye and get your final fix."

The American comfort food joint first opened on Edge Street in the Northern Quarter in 2012, followed by a second site at the Great Northern Warehouse in 2015, which closed in 2019.

Beautiful Drinks, the company behind Home Sweet Home, also owns a number of other restaurants in the city including burger bar Almost Famous, Tex Mex eatery Lust Luck Liquor and Burn.

In recent years, it has also closed its 'hidden' cocktail bar Convenience Store, which sat in the same building as Almost Famous and Lust Luck since 2017, having previously been known as tiki bar Keko's.

You’ll be missed."

Another person added: "Very sad news. Many brunches, lunches and cakes have been consumed on your premises!"

A third commented: "Absolutely gutted to read this. Home sweet home became the place I’d reunite with my uni friends and catch up over lovely food from lovely people. I will miss this so very much"

A northern kebab house has revealed plans to open accommodation themed around everyone's favourite takeaway.

The Kebab House will feature everything from naan bread beds to lettuce shower caps, to chilli and garlic sauce lampshades.

The plans come from I Am Doner, a Leeds-based restaurant that specialises in all things kebab, The Hoot reports.

The curtains at The Kebab House will look like doner meat and they're calling the bathroom the 'ke-bath'. 

Inside the accommodation, there'll be everything from doner-inspired wallpaper in the bedroom, to kebab neon art, to kebab-shaped pillows. 

I Am Doner will install a condiment cabinet, with 50 condiments inside including the restaurant's signature 20 sauces.

The brand is hoping to take the pop-up accommodation on the road, touring across Leeds, Manchester, Sheffield, Newcastle, Birmingham, Liverpool and London. 

• 

• 

It's also looking into locations at all of the above cities and hopes to open later this year. 

The Kebab House plans have landed to coincide with National Kebab Day.

Lynsey Benton, I am Doner’s brand manager, said: "We’re absolutely obsessed with kebabs and so are our customers. Whether it’s using over 100 high quality ingredients in our kebabs, or making our in-house sauces.

"That’s why we’re offering our loyal customers the opportunity to take their obsession to the next level by creating a new pilgrimage to kebabs in the UK!"

Guests who want to be amongst the first to stay at The Kebab House can sign up via I am Doner’s website.

Lucky bookers will be contacted later this year to book in their stay for up to four people.

A woman's clueless but hilarious response to Boris Johnson's resignation yesterday has got people calling for her to become the new Prime Minister.

In case you somehow managed to miss it, Boris Johnson addressed the nation yesterday to formally resign as the leader of the Conservative party and agree to step down as Prime Minister following a tidal wave of 59 resignations by ministers, MPs, and other government officials - including Rishi Sunak and Sajid Javid.

Johnson had been increasing pressure to step down from his position in recent weeks amid several scandals, from Partygate to Pincher.

The Prime Minister said his resignation speech: "I want you to know how sad I am to be giving up the best job in the world - but them’s the breaks."

He also assured people that "our future together is golden".

As is often the case in the aftermath of significant political bombshells such as this, news reporters grabbed their cameras and headed out onto the streets across the country to ask people for their take on what went down - and one woman's response in a now-viral video on social media has left some feeling that she should throw her hat into the ring to take over as the country's next leader.

Read more: Boris Johnson agrees to resign as Prime Minister

Speaking to the BBC in Darlington, the clueless woman said that she wasn't even aware Johnson had decided to step down from his, but she was pretty pleased about it.

"I didn't even know he's resigned," she exclaimed. "I've just finished work so, well that's a bit of good news, I suppose, isn't it?".

https://twitter.com/matteottismith/status/1545085545516343297?s=20&t=SpRKHKG6xzgNhGgh1ps7CQ

It wasn't a very long response, but it was all she needed to go viral.

Shortly after her interview was aired on television, the clip was shared to Twitter and it has since gone on to amass over three million views and counting, as well as tens of thousands of retweets, likes, and of course, comments from people hailing her as an "icon".

"Get her in Number 10 now," one Twitter user said.

Heaping praise on the unnamed woman, another Twitter user commented: "Iconic queen."

"New queen just dropped," wrote a third, with another adding: "She's an icon, she's a legend and she IS the moment."

Another commented: "Bless her heart. Protect her at all costs."

Presumably having got wind that she was going viral on social media, the woman in the video identified herself on Twitter as Erin Mae Denny with the brilliant and appropriate response of "look mum, I'm on TV".

https://twitter.com/erinmaedenny/status/1545150179694841861?s=20&t=SpRKHKG6xzgNhGgh1ps7CQ

Her Twitter response has also gone viral, with plenty of people calling her a 'legend", sending her praise, and describing it as: "Genuinely the greatest vox pop ever featured on national television"

"You can't get a more British reaction to a massive piece of news than this, absolutely perfect," another added.

"To any non brits here, this is what we call a masterclass in great British understatement."

"Icon! Star! Queen! Legend!," a fourth said.

One of the city's most popular bars is welcoming the return of its Aperol terrace this summer, and will also giving away hundreds of free drinks to celebrate.

With summer now officially here, and much of the UK set to see soaring temperatures over the next couple of weeks, Spinningfields sun trap The Oast House has decided to revive its much-loved Aperol-themed terrace, and is aiming to transport city visitors from the hustle and bustle of Manchester, to the serenity of an authentic Italian square.

With views overlooking the Spinningfields centre, fans of the Italian tipple can expect the new Piazza Aperol to be home to ample pavement café-style seating, and a double-tier Aperol Spritz Bar too.

It'll be decorated with orange trees, Fiat 500s in Aperol’s iconic orange, swing seats, and art deco streetlights.

Piazza Aperol will be taking over The Oast House from Wednesday 13 - Sunday 24 July, and the venue promises it will truly come to life the moment the working day ends and the evening begins to provide people with the perfect place to grab an impromptu Aperol Spritz with friends.

Speaking ahead of the terrace's grand opening, Danny Leach - General Manager of The Oast House - added: "Following the success of last year’s Aperol Spritz & Spiaggia - which truly helped visitors make the most of British summer time come rain or shine - we are thrilled to welcome back Aperol with its Piazza-style experience.

And, if sipping on an Aperol Spritz in the sunshine wasn't the perfect summer plan already as it is, then how does a free one sound?

To celebrate the opening of Piazza Aperol and to usher-in the upcoming heatwave, The Oast House has announced that it will be giving the first 200 customers a free Aperol Spritz from 5pm on Friday 15 July.

While walk-ins will be accepted, advanced booking is advised via the Oast House website.

With this week turning out to be an absolute scorcher here in Manchester, we're already making tactical plans to get out there and enjoy a drink (or a few).

Forecasts are predicting that the city is going to be hotter than Istanbul this week (how novel), and as much as we love the idea of sitting out all day, keeping cool is high up on our agenda.

That said, there's nothing like a heatwave to get your in the mood for an ice-cold drink - and we honestly can't think of anything more cooling than a frozen bev, which is why we've put together this go-to-guide to help you find the best that Manchester has to offer.

Yes, in previous years, some of us cocktail enthusiasts may have been a bit snobby about frozen drinks - but after a few years locked in our houses, we've all deserved a little bit of silliness and fun, and these drinks absolutely deliver.

From boozy smoothies, to alcoholic slushies, frozen martinis, Irish coffees and even Snakebite, keep reading to discover where to go to sip on some of the best icy bevs the city has to offer.

Smithfield Social - Frozen Aperol Spritz

The ultimate summer cocktail, but make it frozen. Smithfield Social has taken the classic Italian aperitivo favourite to a new level for 2022, turning it into an ice-cold slushie that's perfect for the summer. Low ABV and full of flavour, it might just be the best frozen cocktail we've seen (so far) this summer.

Sicilian NQ - Frozen watermelon margaritas

Hidden down a little backstreet in the Northern Quarter, Sicilian NQ is easy enough to miss - but don't you dare. The tiny bar and kitchen has just launched a new range of frozen margaritas, all priced at just £5 during happy hour, which runs Monday to Thursday, 12pm to 5pm. Enjoy them in three flavours: classic, Sicilian and watermelon.

Ramona

If you're after something a little bit wilder, head to converted MOT garage Ramona for your frozen cocktail fix and a big fat Detroit slice. Yes, they do frozen margarltas, and, yes, you can opt to get them bottomless, but be adventurous - the banana + pandan is a certified house favourite, and pineapple + ginger is well worth a look-in too.

The Shack - Frozen Vimto daiquiris

Ah Vimto, you'll always have a special place in Manchester's heart. Drunk hot, cold, and now frozen with a couple of shots of rum thrown in for good measure, there's never a bad time to enjoy this fruity cordial. First manufactured here as a health tonic in 1908, it's still giving us life all these years later.

Crazy Pedro's - Frozen boozy Twistas

Crazy Pedro's takes its frozen cocktails seriously, serving them up in five different flavours. From a frozen Twista ice lolly-flavoured cocktail to frozen Pornstar Martinis, Woo Woos, and both classic and strawberry margaritas, there's plenty of choice to keep you going. Oh, and they're all available on the bottomless brunch too.

Pico's, Mackie Mayor - Frozen margaritas

Pico's are not fair weather frozen cocktail fans - far from it. You can find them slinging out frozen margaritas with a chilli salt rim all year round both at Manchester's Mackie Mayor and at Altrincham's Market House, alongside the best nachos and tacos you will find in the city centre.

Smooch - Frozen strawberry daiquiris

Altrincham bubble tea shop Smooch hasn't been open that long, but it's already become quite the favourite with local kids. Following requests from the Trafford town's parents for an 'adult' version, they've recently launched a new boozy menu featuring frozen strawberry daiquiris and pina colada bubble teas.

Tucked under the Mancunian Way at the Hatch street food village, you'll find Kong's latest export slinging out half-pint cups filled with frozen margaritas, alongside their cracking new sandwich menu. We think a crisp butty and a frozen marg in the Hatch garden sound just the thing.

Junior Jackson's - Frozen snakebite and Irish coffees

The little brother to popular Manchester dive bar Bunny's, Junior's can be found in a basement on the Northern Quarter's Oldham Street slinging out a plethora of frozen bevvies.

Frozen snakebite and frozen Irish coffees both sound incredible to us, but if you just want something fruity you can also get frozen daiquiris here in three different flavours - strawberry, pina colada and passion fruit. Oh, and you can get them all down at Bunny's too.

7Sins - Frozen cocktail sharers

Think frozen cocktails, but supersized for the whole group. Stevenson Square bar 7Sins has gone the whole hog this summer with some new frozen sharers, including the Passionbowl (essentially a giant jug of Pornstar martini) and Super Bramble (gin, lemon and blackcurrant).

The Garratt - Frozen pornstar martinis and daiquiris

At just £5 each or two for £8, these are some of the cheapest frozen cocktails to be found in the city centre. Head down to popular Princess Street boozer The Garratt, a long-time favourite of Manchester's skaters and students alike, for a rotating selection of ice-cold drinks, game of pool and an easy-to-land spot in the sun.

Lock 91 - Frozen daiquiris

With a gorgeous little beer garden hidden away from view, Lock 91 is another place to put on your frozen cocktail list on a sunny day. The house frozen strawberry daiquiri here is made from scratch, fresh to order.

Herd NQ - Frozen pornstar martinis

This little Northern Quarter steakhouse is delivering the goods on the frozen cocktail front, with frozen Pornstar martinis and three different boozy slushies on offer. Think a 'pineapple express' boozy smoothie with mango and spiced rum, a 'watermelon sugar' version, or a 'frozen berry blast' with added gin and apple.

An old abandoned railway tunnel has been converted into an apartment that guests can spend the night in.

The Portal in West Yorkshire sleeps up to four guests and is built straight into the mouth of the Butternab Tunnel.

One of its most impressive features is a 30-foot natural waterfall which crashes into a pond outside the front door, reports The Hoot.

The owners have also built a winding decked footpath up to the two-storey studio apartment on the outskirts of Huddersfield.

Visitors are then greeted by a huge arched double-height window filling the entrance to the old stone tunnel.

The studio itself is bright and modern, with space for up to four guests between the bedroom and a sofa bed. It's also pet-friendly.

Outside is a south-facing seating area on the terrace next to the waterfall.

Butternab Tunnel was closed in 1969, but before that it had been part of the Huddersfield to Meltham line.

•

• 

The owner of The Portal, Stephen Attmere, told the Huddersfield Examiner: "An eccentric millionaire decided to make the blocked southern end of the tunnel into an art studio for his wife and a home cinema was put there in the 90s.

"Fast forward to December 2020 we bought the property and decided to make it more sympathetic to its history, so we got rid of the rainbow arch and tacky art pictures. We have now decided to share it on Airbnb as a self-contained studio.

"When we saw it we fell in love. At first we were going to turn it into a dance studio but our joiner suggested putting it on Airbnb and we thought it made sense.

"We are surrounded by ancient woodland. There's a 30-foot waterfall cascading into a pond. It's like a little bit of heaven. It's so private and peaceful."

We all know how important community is, whether it’s sharing a BBQ with your neighbours or calling on each other for help.

But how many of us are so proud of our communities that we'd dedicate our lives - and all of our free time - to protecting it?

One man in Droylsden does exactly that, spending 365 nights a week patrolling the streets, keeping an eye out for disturbances and burglaries.

This is Andy (and his dog Shadow) from Crimewatchers, a project he set up in 2020 to help tackle crime across Droylsden and Audenshaw.

The work of Crimewatchers has evolved since then, and is now a valuable scheme supporting people from all walks of life.

Andy will never turn away a vulnerable person in need, or from his neighbourhood, from helping out with litter picking to arranging Easter egg hunts for local children.

They can arrange to have free locks fitted for vulnerable people, help elderly neighbours who have had a fall, and hand out selection boxes at Christmas.

From 11pm every night of the year, Andy and his beloved German Shepherd Shadow are out helping others, no questions asked.

Andy said: "Every single night. Bank holidays. We've just worked all Jubilee Weekend. We'll work Christmas, we'll work New Year, we'll work it all.

"We help anybody who needs it. Sometimes we find people who need help when we're out patrolling, other times people get in touch with us - and if we can help them, we will.

"We've not got enough people to patrol outside Droylsden and Audenshaw but that doesn't mean we'd turn down a request for help from outside that area.

"The community have got us to where we've got to, their response has been amazing.

Read more: Someone’s built an amazing apartment inside an old railway tunnel

"As you can imagine at first, the police were quite concerned about who we were and what we were up to at night, but the community 100% had our backs. Everything we've done, the community have supported us.

"It's going from strength to strength and that's because of the residents."

As much as Andy helps others, he receives plenty of love in return, which was never more apparent than when his old dog Sabre died.

He said: "Everybody loved Sabre. He was the boss, the leader of the group. Without Sabre, I wouldn't have got Crimewatchers off the ground. People really took to him and his nature. We came as a duo. When he passed away, it was really sudden and instant.

"But the community really rallied around me, in an instant they set up a GoFundMe and raised over £2000 for me, so I could get a new companion.

"Shadow is a community dog. He lives with me but I see him as part of the community. Everybody loves him, just as they did with Sabre.

"Somebody attempted to stab me a few nights ago and when I posted that on Facebook it got a lot of engagement - but then a video of Shadow will get two million views. People love him.

"He's not a working dog. He patrols with us but as a pet.

"When I get called to a job, especially if someone's being aggressive or there's a situation, I'd never get him out of the car. He's not a deterrent, he'll never bite anybody, he's not an attack dog.

"Shadow will just sit there, not barking, just watching - he would never do anything, he's a pet and a mascot and a friend. I'd never put him in danger."

One of Andy's fondest memories from his work with Crimewatchers is when he was called out to help an elderly man who had had a fall and couldn't get up, but was unharmed.

He said: "His Mrs rang us and said it's not an emergency but she really needed help and didn't want to call for an ambulance.

"He was at his most vulnerable but they trusted us to come into their home and help, and that is massive for us.

"It was no effort really, we were already out and about, but for him, on the floor and not knowing when he'd be able to get up, it was huge.

"That kind of support - the fact that people can call someone when they can't get hold of family in the middle of the night and they don't want to call 999, they know they can ring us. That's amazing."

A new dessert stall has opened in the Arndale Market today, bringing some brand new cinnamon-dusted, ice cream-filled treats to the city centre.

Called Yum Yum, it comes from the same team behind Christmas market hit Panc Foods and has just taken over the former Salt and Pepper unit.

Splitting the original stall in two, fans of Panc can now get their hands on all the usual favourites as well as a range of new vegan desserts under the Yum Yum banner seven days a week.

Here, piping hot, steaming chimney cakes - so-called because they literally smoke like a chimney when the soft, bready cones of dough are pulled from the scorching 250-degree oven - are rolled in sugar or sprinkles, then stuffed with vanilla soft serve ice cream.

Sitting somewhere between a churro, donut and croissant, they can be enjoyed on their own, which is the more traditional way to eat them - but with topping and filling choices spanning everything from Nutella and strawberry sauce to fresh fruit, chocolate and Biscoff sauce, it's certainly tempting to go all out.

Chimney cakes are also available to order cut in half, sat on top of individual pots of soft serve in the coming weeks with new flavours like salted caramel and chocolate on their way.

Priced at £8 each, they're not the cheapest - but then, for founders Hannah Jobe and Ariane Cardoso, it's really important to be using quality, ethically produced ingredients, which always tend to be a little more expensive.

Hannah tells us that she has been working on the project for the best part of a year, and was inspired to launch the chimney cake stall after spotting a gap in the market. Even better, she adds, because the cakes are vegan they can be enjoyed by absolutely everyone.

As well as the chimney cakes, Yum Yum is also selling a range of vegan cakes, macaroons, cinnamon rolls, waffles and loaded churros at its new dessert stall.

Working alongside the English Rose Bakery, you'll find brightly-coloured vegan macaroons in flavours like summer fruits and pistachio, coconut, Black Forest and Biscoff, alongside cinnamon buns topped with pearl sugar in a nod to Hannah's Swedish heritage.

Hannah also tells us she plans to start creating her own soft serve flavours in the future, so watch this space.

Open now, head down for a serious fix of sweetness - with build-your-own chimney cake options, milkshakes, smoothies and more all on offer.

New drone footage has been released that shows the incredible work taking place at Mayfield Park.

The much-praised new green space will be Manchester's first city centre park to open in more than 100 years.

As part of the works, a section of the River Medlock has been uncovered after being buried beneath concrete for years.

The birds'-eye drone view of Mayfield reveals a huge expanse of green space taking shape, with young trees lining the perimeter.

Already visible too is the see-through slide that's being built as part of the new Play Yard, which will whizz children over the water in a tunnel.

Wide footpaths and seating areas are also taking shape in the area.

When it opens this autumn, Mayfield Park will bring 6.5 acres of much-needed green space.

Earlier this year, plans for a huge play park were revealed, featuring that 18-metre over-water slide, six 10-metre tall towers, crawl tunnels, rope bridges, a 60-degree drop slide, racing slides, and a six-metre spiral slide.

The Mayfield Play Yard plans also include wheelchair accessible play equipment, like tunnels, slides and roundabouts.

It's been designed collaboratively by regeneration specialist U+I on behalf of the Mayfield Partnership, landscape architects Studio Egret West (SEW) and Massey & Harris, an independent play equipment specialist based in Greater Manchester.

Councillor Bev Craig, Leader of Manchester City Council, said: “Mayfield Park is going to be a major new green public space for Manchester.

“As a city which values our young people it’s perfect that it will include a play facility as fun and active as this as part of what it has to offer. 

“We can’t wait to welcome Manchester people to this new attraction.”

Asda has announced that all children can grab a free meal for just £1 at its in-store cafes throughout the UK this summer.

As the rising cost of living crisis continues to make its impact felt across the country, and inflation reaches record-highs, leading supermarket retailer Asda has hatched a plan to tackle "holiday hunger" for struggling families during the school summer holidays.

With fears that many families could fall victim to food poverty over the extended break, Asda has announced that all children under the age of 16 can grab themselves a meal for £1 with no minimum adult spend.

The £1 meal offer will be available any time of the day, seven days a week.

Parents of babies and toddlers won't be left out of the offer either, as the supermarket giant will also be providing free pouches of Ella's Kitchen baby food too.

Speaking on the retailer's decision to introduce the offer ahead of the start of the school summer holidays across the UK, a spokesperson for Asda said: "We know that families can find the summer holidays tough and our customers are telling us that this year more than ever, they're concerned about holiday hunger.

"With that in mind, we are so pleased to be able children's meals for just £1, with no minimum adult spend.

"This is to ensure that those who would normally rely on a school meal aren't left without."

The £1 meals scheme has already been launched in Scotland and Northern Ireland, with England and Wales to follow from 25 July, and it will be available right up until 4 September.

Sankeys is - quite rightly - the stuff of legend, a part of Manchester's nightlife that will be talked about for decades to come.

While Ancoats 2022 is a maze of bars and restaurants, back in the 1990s Sankeys was the only destination most people bothered with - mostly everything else was a shell of a warehouse.

The doors to the club opened, and closed, and opened again, and closed again, with a few tweaks to its name along the way.

Whether you remember it as the Sankeys Soap that opened in 1994, or the Sankeys that built an actual beach (using 50 tonnes of sand) in 2009, or even if you never made it onto this hallowed dancefloor, you probably have a story about the venue.

It hosted everyone from Boy George to Bjork to the Spice Girls to Daft Punk, but famously turned away a baby-faced Justin Bieber (too shuffley, apparently).

Nowadays it's one of many, many converted mill buildings around the neighbourhood, filled with small businesses and apartments.

But Urban Splash, who have repurposed Beehive Mill into a co-working space, have kept many traces of Sankeys alive.

Building manager Carl Holt, once a doorman at Sankeys, remembers when the entrance - now a wall of glass doors with fingerprint recognition - when it had huge steel doors to deter the cars that used to try and ram their way in.

• 

• 

The foyer of the building proudly displays photographs from the club's final days, showing off rows of empty spirits bottles, crumpled promotional posters, and sticky dance floors.

Videos from club nights at Sankeys are projected on to the concrete wall that houses the mail boxes.

There's even the old safe, which developers drilled open to find years-old contraband confiscated from clubbers.

The old dance floor is now home to the head office of The Prince's Trust, who store their outdoors equipment (wetsuits and the like) in what was once the smoking area, the jungle-inspired graffiti still covering the walls.

The old wooden staircase of Sankeys is now a fire escape and mostly blocked off from public view, while the former recording studios have been turned into bicycle storage rooms and office spaces.

Important meetings that now take place here are actually in what was Sankeys' medical room, tending to revellers who'd overdone it a bit.

• 

• 

• 

Carl says: "When Urban Splash bought it, they revamped it from top to bottom.

"It’s flipped on its head, where there’s now all this business based here. It’s great to see but it is a big change. 

"I find it quite satisfying - yes I loved it when it was Sankeys, but I also like it the way it is now.

“Some people say to me ‘No, Sankeys weren’t here, this ain’t Sankeys’, they say they don’t remember, and I tell them ‘You don’t remember for two reasons…’

“In the early days when we were refurbishing it, people used to come here for the history. 

“For the cobbles and the bricks and all that. It’s history. I love it."

While Ancoats is now often lauded as one of the world's coolest neighbourhoods, nowhere will ever quite be able to recreate the cool of the Sankeys days.

A section of the Metrolink line between Eccles and MediaCityUK is to be closed for three months from this week as planned engineering work gets underway.

Confirmation of the closure comes after Transport for Greater Manchester (TfGM) announced back in February that after 22 years of operation, the Metrolink Eccles line - which was originally opened in 1999, and has supported millions of journeys since - is set to close "on several occasions" this year for essential maintenance of the tracks.

Between 16 July and 21 October, a bus replacement service will be operating between Eccles and MediaCityUK Metrolink stops while maintenance is carried out to replace the rails on the Eccles line.

Tram services however will still be running as normal between Ashton-under-Lyne and MediaCityUK throughout the three-month period.

TfGM says all closure times have been chosen in order to "minimise disruption to passengers".

Speaking ahead of the significant line closure from next week, Daniel Vaughan - Head of Metrolink at TfGM said: "The Eccles line is undergoing a planned programme of essential maintenance works to replace the 20-year-old rails and ensure we can continue to operate a safe and reliable service for years to come.

"We’re sorry for the inconvenience we know this partial closure of the Eccles line will cause, but we will be doing everything we can to minimise disruption."

Passengers will be able to visit a dedicated travel advice page to find information on alternative travel options to help plan their journey in advance, and Metrolink staff will also be around at key locations at busier times assist people in any way needed.

Passengers are advised to plan ahead and allow extra time for their journeys.

Greater Manchester Police (GMP) is appealing for information and eyewitnesses after a shotgun was fired several times in Oldham.

Just before 6pm on Friday 8 July, officers were called to a report of the sound of shots fired on Broadbent Road in Oldham.

GMP confirmed over the weekend that an investigation was launched immediately following the incident, but after no evidence was initially believed to be found and no one was reported to have been injured, the force said enquiries were ongoing into whether any shots had actually been fired.

Following extensive CCTV enquiries, detectives have now confirmed that a firearms discharge did take place.

GMP explained that enquiries so far suggest that a man discharged the firearm twice into the driver’s window of a vehicle, before the offender and the victim made off, and officers located the victim, in his 40s, safe and well yesterday.

The victim said he does not wish to cooperate at this time, GMP revealed.

"This was clearly a distressing incident for those nearby who will no doubt have heard the noise from the incident where it’s believed a shot gun was used," said Detective Chief Inspector Ben Cottam, from GMP’s Oldham district.

"Extensive enquiries were carried out following the first report and a discharge was confirmed to have taken place some time later.

https://twitter.com/GMPOldham/status/1546097650583437312?s=20&t=bzYPJs8OK9-fbw_-dkr7rA

"This is being treated as an isolated and deliberate incident and I would like to reassure residents that getting to the bottom of what happened remains an absolute priority with a number of lines of enquiry already being followed up."

He added that "there’s no place for firearms" on the streets of Greater Manchester.

"We have a number of officers and detectives in force working every day to bring those responsible for possessing, transferring or using firearms to justice," DCI Cottam added.

GMP is now appealing for eyewitnesses, or anyone with any information, dashcam footage, or CCTV footage to come forward and assist with investigations - which can be reported online or via LiveChat at www.gmp.police.uk, or by calling 101.

Many parts of the UK are expected to have their hottest day of the year so far today as the heatwave continues.

Temperatures across the country will soar as high as 33 degrees on Monday 11 July, the Met Office is predicting.

It follows a sunny weekend in Greater Manchester that saw beer gardens and parks packed with people.

The high pressure weather system will continue throughout much of this week, bringing clear skies, calm conditions and above-average temperatures.

In true north-west style, our region is most likely to see a few showers and cloudy days compared to the rest of the country.

Met Office Deputy Chief Meteorologist, David Oliver, said that the warm weather from the weekend 'could last for much of this week'.

He said: "Much of [this] week will remain warm for the time of year as well as dry and sunny for many areas."

Dr Agostinho Sousa, Head of Extreme Events and Health Protection at UKHSA, said: “We want everyone to enjoy the hot weather when it arrives, but also to check in on their vulnerable family, friends and neighbours to make sure they are prepared for the warm conditions ahead. 

“High temperatures are predicted for a prolonged period, so make sure to follow our simple health advice to beat the heat, such as covering windows exposed to direct sunlight and making sure that fridges, freezers and fans are working properly.” 

Here's the weather forecast for Manchester for the week ahead.

Monday 11 July - There may be some spells of cloud in Manchester on Monday, but temperatures are set to hit 29 degrees by 3pm. It will stay warm through the night too, not dropping below 20 degrees all night. There's a very high pollen count.

Tuesday 12 July - Tuesday will be cooler and cloudier, with highs of 24 degrees. Sunny intervals are expected by the evening and there's practically no chance of rain.

Wednesday 13 July - The sunshine will be back on Wednesday - though with some cloud - but the weather will be cooler across Greater Manchester. Expect highs of 19 degrees and again, a very high pollen count.

Thursday 14 July - The Met Office is forecasting a sunny start to Thursday before the clouds return around lunchtime. Highs will be around 19 degrees and lows of around 13 degrees.

Friday 15 July - There are light rain showers predicted for Greater Manchester on Friday morning, before the sun pops back out in the evening. It will be a slightly warmer day again at 21 degrees.

Saturday 16 July - And it's back to the heatwave - Saturday is currently expected to be about 26 degrees and sunny by the afternoon, with a high UV index.

Sunday 17 July - Sunday will be even warmer - up to 27 degrees - with some patchy cloud in the afternoon.

Shoppers were shocked to see thousands of bees swarming in Manchester city centre yet again this weekend.

And this time, it looks like they took a particular liking to traffic light.

As the scorching sun shone down, and temperatures soared up to 25°C over the weekend ahead of this week's expected heatwave, plenty of summertime shoppers in Manchester city centre yesterday spotted swarms of thousands of bees sat on a traffic light on the corner of Cross Street and King Street.

Several people took to social media to share photos and video footage of the swarms in action yesterday, with one eyewitness declaring that "the bees are taking back Manchester".

"I know Manchester is known for bees, but this was a bit extreme," another added.

People passing the swarm were seen covering their faces with their clothes, and ducking down in a bid to escape the buzzing bees.

While some people were understandably shocked at the sight of thousands of bees calmly covering a traffic light, others were not so fazed about it and remembered that it's definitely not the first time parts of Greater Manchester have been brought to a halt by swarms of bees.

Last summer, thousands of the buzzing insects took over the rear window of a parked-up and unattended BMW in the city centre.

They then moved on to engulf a poster for Manchester International Festival (MIF).

Only last month, a woman dressed in full beekeeper attire was spotted by workers on their lunch break and captured on video scooping up bees with her bare hands in MediaCityUK in an effort to relocate a swarm.

https://twitter.com/edparnell/status/1546346010255015936?s=20&t=5BFH0L4Ge5GSN4P8nLLcNg

Onlookers also eventually saw a beekeeper tend to the swarm on Cross Street yesterday too in a bid to move them to safety.

But why are so many bees swarming in Manchester city centre? What does it mean?

Well, according to the British Beekeepers Association, a honeybee colony may swarm for a number of reasons but can often be seen swarming on warm and sunny days between May and July, and usually after a spell of poor weather.

It’s a completely natural process, and they will most likely swarm to reproduce after the old queen leaves a colony with some of the other bees.

Once the queen has left, scout bees will then head off in search of suitable places to construct the swarm’s home, and the successful scouts will eventually report back on the location of suitable nesting sites to the other bees - but in the meantime, the other bees will leave the hive and find a spot to wait until the scout decides on the new home for the colony.

The latter is most likely to answer for the swarm we saw over the weekend.

With the warm weather set to continue, it remains to be seen whether this will be the last swarm we’ll see this week, but the city will no doubt be ready and waiting if it happens again.

Staff at Boujee restaurant have walked out in protest after claiming they have not been paid their full wages in weeks.

Staff at the Liverpool restaurant, where the walkouts occurred, also claim that they have had table service charges withheld by management for months.

The hot-pink-themed group of restaurants, which also has sites in Manchester and Chester, has reportedly been struggling with 'cashflow' issues since December last year.

Boujee by name, boujee by nature, the group has become known for its Barbie and Ken box insta traps and Champagne rooms dedicated to Laurent Perrier's pink fizz.

Here, a bottle of champagne costs £90 for a Laurent Brut and up to £750 for Laurent Perrier Rose Jeroboam, whilst cocktails will set you back a minimum of £9 a glass.

The group also counts Real Housewives of Cheshire star Lystra Adams as a director, although it is understood she is not involved in the site's day-to-day operations.

The Liverpool site, which first opened in December 2020, has a giant candy area and themed 'pool party' and 'Alice in Boujeeland’ spaces.

But in spite of all this glitz and glamour, its staff said they have received just 40% of their expected wages on recent paydays, and claim to have regularly not received service charges which are automatically added onto customers' bills whether they are drinking or dining.

The pay dispute was reported in the Liverpool Echo, after staff told the paper some colleagues had walked out of shifts over the situation and that others were struggling to meet their rent and mortgage payments.

A company message was shared with Boujee's staff at the end of June in an attempt to explain to workers why they had not received their full pay.

It said: "It is with huge regret and disappointment that we are not able to pay the wages in their entirety today. We have exhausted every avenue and it is at the point where we require the revenue from this weekend and next in order to catch up and make the payments in full.

"Today we will be making a payment to all employees of 40 per cent of their total wage. On Monday we will make a second payment and this will be 30 per cent of their total wage plus 50 per cent of the service charge for the month.

"The following Monday we will pay the remaining 30 per cent and the remaining 50 per cent of the service charge.

"We are extremely sorry that it has come to this and I assure you we are doing all we can to get back on track and our team are vital in this path to recovery. We fully appreciate this is not acceptable and we thank you for your hard work, support and loyalty through what has been a very challenging time."

Bosses described the need to hold back wages as an 'unfortunate position', adding that the company had now managed to pay its staff 70% of what was owed. It did not comment on allegations of withholding tips and service charges.

A spokesperson said: "The hospitality industry is continuing to face very challenging times with increases in costs such as utilities and food supplies. We have done what we can do as a business to absorb these costs without passing directly onto our customers.

"We experienced unexpected costs last month which created temporary cash flow constraints for the business. Whilst 70 per cent of the staff wages has been paid, the remaining 30 per cent has been deferred by five working days.

"It is an unfortunate position and we do sympathise with our team and appreciate their efforts. As many in the hospitality sector have suffered during the pandemic we have continued to push forward, which has had a detrimental impact on cash reserves.

"We are continuing to liaise with our valued staff members and will do what we can to absorb the increased operational costs moving forward. We are confident that the business will resume as usual and we remain open for business."

Chester Zoo has welcomed nine new baby penguin residents, and has shared adorable footage and pictures from their first few days.

Penguin Island at the UK's biggest charity zoo is now said to be "buzzing with activity" after the arrival of nine endangered Humboldt penguin chicks who go by the names of Plum, Peach, Papaya, Cherry, Rhubarb, Banana, Lemon, Satsuma, and Iona-Berry.

Keepers have named the zoo's newest residents after some of their favourite fruits.

Iona-Berry was also named after a vet who last year saved the eyesight of the baby penguins' father, Munch.

Weighing in at just 80g when they first hatch, the nine penguin chicks will triple in size in their first three weeks of life and quickly reach around 3kg - just like their parents.

Found on the rocky coastal shores of Peru and Chile, Humboldt penguins are one of the world’s most endangered penguin species, and are listed as vulnerable to extinction by the International Union for the Conservation of Nature as they face a number of threats including climate change, over-fishing, and rising acidity and temperature levels in the oceans.

That’s why births like this are said to be so important for Chester Zoo's ongoing mission to prevent extinction.

"There’s nothing quite like hearing tiny chirps coming from the penguin nests and seeing little balls of fluff snuggled up with their parents just moments after hatching," said Sophie Bissaker - Parrots and Penguins Keeper at Chester Zoo.

"Zookeepers have a trend of naming the penguins using a different theme each year.

• 

• 

"Previously we’ve had brands of crisps, chocolate bars and in 2020, our NHS Heroes, but after some serious thought, we’ve decided to name this year’s class after different types of fruit."

Zoe explained that the nine new arrivals have just started to venture out of the nest, which is "such an exciting time" for staff at the zoo at visitors alike.

"Now they’re starting swimming lessons in the main pool, where they’ll learn how to catch food for themselves," she continued.

"For the first three months of life, mum and dad keep their new chicks tucked away while they feed and nurture them [but] to help them gain weight while they're so young, we provide the parents with extra fish, which they swallow, churn into a high-protein soup and regurgitate at feeding times.

"In a few weeks they'll shed their fluffy grey feathers to reveal their iconic black and white feathers underneath.

"[The feathers] are waterproof and help them zoom through the water."

A brand-new gym and spa has opened inside one of the most luxurious hotels in Manchester city centre today.

King Street Townhouse's new purpose-built gym and spa facilities are tucked away inside the four-star hotel's historic Grade-II listed Italian Renaissance building as part of the upper King Street conservation area, and they're set to bring an "elevated fitness and wellbeing experience" to the heart of the city centre. 

Having officially opened its doors to the public today, the new King Street Townhouse Gym & Spa has its sights set on being a destination for "unforgettable" spa experiences.

Designed by EPR Architects, the spa is decked-out in a soothing palette of calming neutrals and natural materials like timber, marble, and stone to "evoke a sense of deep relaxation and calm", and designers say each area has been crafted with luxurious wellness in mind.

• 

• 

The spa includes four treatment rooms, a thermal suite, a eucalyptus steam room, and an ice fountain, as well as heated loungers, a relaxed dining room in the calming spa lounge, and also boasts a full treatment menu.

The "unrivalled" treatment offering includes bespoke treatments that are exclusive to the hotel from leading skincare and wellness brands ESPA and Perricone MD.

And one of the stand-out new features has to be the immune-boosting Himalayan salt cave.

One of the exclusive new spa treatment options is the ESPA Rebalance & Restore Ritual - which is said to be an uplifting massage featuring salt stones, a rose quartz facial, scalp massage and salt inhalation to leave the body, skin, and mind feeling "re-balanced and radiant".

As mentioned, King Street Townhouse has partnered with Perricone MD to create a range of bespoke specialist spa treatments in a UK-exclusive.

This means that hotel guests will be the first in the country to get the chance to experience the brand's targeted and results-driven facials, advanced techniques, and holistic approach to skin health like never before.

The hotel's new state-of-the-art gym facility has also been designed to help guests enhance their physical and mental wellbeing.

There's four specially-designed workout zones for cardio, functional, strength, and free weights to give guests a choice of fitness equipment to suit all strengths and abilities, so no matter whether you fancy doing a quick 10-minutes on the treadmill, or a full HIIT workout and weights session, there's facilities for everyone's needs.

King Street Townhouse says its wants its new Gym & Spa to provide a "distinctive experience" to suit people of all lifestyles and wellness routines.

The relaxing Spa Lounge also offers a balanced menu of both light and nutritious food and drinks all day-long, as well as plenty of indulgent treats to tuck into - with a range of vegetarian and vegan-friendly options too.

"We are delighted to announce the opening of the new King Street Townhouse Gym & Spa," said Viki Tahmasebi - CEO at THG Experience.

"The carefully-curated space touches upon all aspects of wellbeing to offer a place to unwind, recharge and fully escape from the stress of the everyday.

"Not only does the new expansion offer an elevated wellness destination in the heart of the city, but it also enhances our ‘home away from home’ experience for our hotel guests."

The new King Street Townhouse Gym & Spa is now open.

Spa facilities are open to both residents and guests, and while gym facilities are exclusively open for hotel residents for a limited time, membership options are launching later in 2022.

Videos of the star circulating on social media show him throwing down his tambourine and maracas as he swaggers off the stage without a word, to a chorus of boos.

But the singer has since revealed he's suffering with laryngitis and 'has to put his health first'.

Liam was performing at Festival Beauregard in northern France over the weekend but cut his slot short.

It's understood that the former Oasis frontman had performed only six songs of his planned 15-song set list.

The singer also cancelled a second show in France, which was due to take place in Cognac on Sunday 10 July.

Screens at the festival displayed a message to fans that said: "For reasons beyond our control, Liam Gallagher's concert had to be cut short. Thank you for your understanding."

Liam later tweeted: "Apologies to everyone who came out to Festival Bureaugard last night, I was so disappointed to have to cut the set short.

"I have been diagnosed today with laryngitis and am on Doctors orders to get some rest. Unfortunately that means I have to cancel my upcoming show in Cognac.

"I never want to let anyone down am really sorry for any disappointment but I have to put my health first LG x"

The star had also been struggling with sound and technical issues earlier in the concert.

A building in Manchester city centre that has been labelled an 'eyesore' for years is set to be knocked down.

Developers had originally planned to strip down the brutalist Premier House, on the corner of Deansgate and Blackfriars Street, to its concrete frame.

It was then proposed that it would be redeveloped it into 40,000sq ft of modern office space.

But those working on the project have now found that the work to retain the structure would 'severely impact the deliverability of the project' and are planning to demolish it.

It's believed that keeping the existing concrete structure would create several restrictions, including limited ceiling heights.

The redevelopment of both Premier House and the former Renaissance Hotel - which closed in July 2020 - have been getting underway in recent months.

Its new life will see a new luxury hotel, Treehouse Hotel, take the place of the Renaissance.

Treehouse will include a ‘secret forest’ treehouse canopy and three new restaurants and bars, fronted by local hospitality heroes Mary-Ellen McTague, Sam Grainger, Luke Cowdrey (aka Unabomber) and Justin Crawford.

A letter from Avison Young lodged with the planning application to demolish Premier House states: "Retaining the structure of the current building and integrating it into the new office building would severely impact the deliverability of the project."

If plans are approved, the joint venture between Property Alliance Group and Starwood Capital would instead construct a new-build alternative on the site.

The Met Office has issued a rare amber weather warning for parts of the UK this weekend.

'Extreme heat' is being predicted for Sunday, as the temperature is set to soar as high as 35 degrees in the south east.

Here in Greater Manchester, forecasters are expecting it to be as warm as 29 degrees on Sunday 17 July.

The weather service is warning that there is a risk of 'potential serious illness or danger to life' caused by the extreme heat.

The Met Office has also advised that people should expect delays to travel, and an increased number of people flocking to beaches, lakes and coastal areas.

Met Office Deputy Chief Meteorologist Rebekah Sherwin said: "Today and tomorrow (Monday 11th and Tuesday 12th), temperatures are likely to peak at 33C in the southeast, with warm weather likely to continue throughout this week and it looks likely to ramp up late this week and into early next week.

"From Sunday and into Monday, temperatures are likely to be in excess of 35C in the southeast, although the details still remain uncertain. Elsewhere, temperatures could be fairly widely above 32C in England and Wales, and in the mid-to-high 20s Celsius further north."

Dr Agostinho Sousa, Head of Extreme Events and Health Protection at UKHSA, said: "Heat-health alerts have now been issued to the majority of the country, with temperatures set to remain consistently high throughout the duration of this week.

“Most of us can enjoy the hot weather when it arrives, but it is important to keep yourself hydrated and to find shade where possible when UV rays are strongest, between 11am and 3pm.

“If you have vulnerable family, friends and neighbours, make sure they are aware of how they can keep themselves protected from the warm weather.’’

A festival of authentic beers, German food markets, and tributes to some of Manchester's most iconic bands will be taking over the city later this year.

It's everything we know and love about Oktoberfest - but with a Mancunian twist.

If you're unfamiliar with the phenomenon that is Oktoberfest, it's a traditional Bavarian folk festival full of beer and a travelling funfair that was first held all the way back in 1810, and has been held annually in Munich from mid / late September to around the first Sunday in October ever since.

Over six million visitors flock to the southern German region for the festival each year, but given its huge popularity, other cites across the world also hold their own Oktoberfests inspired by the Munich event - and Manchester is one of them.

Manctoberfest 2022 is taking over the BEC Arena in Trafford Park from Friday 30 September - Sunday 2 October, and tickets are set to go on sale this Friday.

During the three-day Manchester take on the traditional festival, organisers are promising a huge weekend that's jam-packed with music, food, and "more steins than you can shake a stick at", with some of the best tribute bands set to perform and celebrate the city's rich music heritage.

• 

• 

The Stretford-based arena will be kitted out with Oktoberfest decoration and traditional Bavarian seating for that authentic festival feel.

The festival has teamed up with Manchester Adored’s resident DJ, Dave Sweetmore, who will be hosting across the weekend.

Just a few of the famous names on the stacked lineup of talented tribute bands at this year's festival include The Ultimate Stone Roses, Appy Mondays, The Oasis Experience, Courtbetweeners, These Smiths, and Noel Gallagher's High Flying Carpets, who have all been busy performing across the UK.

Festivalgoers will also be able to grab some tasty grub at the German food market, and then, of course, wash it all down with the finest German beers and steins.

And to top it all off, The JagerMaestros - a Manchester-based traditional German Oompah band made up of eight of the country's top brass players, and a lead singer who's also a stand-up comic - will also be performing live across the extended festival weekend, so you can expect to be properly entertained.

Tickets to Manctoberfest 2022 are set to go on sale on Friday 15 July at 9am, and you can sign-up for priority access here.

This week, Manchester welcomes the arrival of a new X-rated waffle shop that is putting quite the cheeky twist on dessert.

Called Mr D*ck, it's based over in Shudehill and, whilst it will officially open its doors this Thursday, the new shop is already blowing up on social media thanks to its outrageous chocolate-dipped dongs.

Here at the new hot-pink French waffle shop, customers can lick edible d*cks and vulvas to their heart's content for just £8.50 a pop - with a choice of six different chocolates to drizzle them with, including a gold one and a regularly changing daily chocolate special (currently Nutella).

There's also the choice of pink chocolate, white chocolate, plus toppings like rainbow vermicelli, ruby and gold crunch, marshmallows, Lotus Biscoff, crushed Oreos and nuts to help you really jazz up your naughty treat.

Extra toppings can be added on for 40p each, like packets of Smarites, Kinder Bueno wafers, Cadbury Flakes and mini meringues, for those who really want to go the whole hog (pun intended).

And that's not all, there are drinks too for those who "need something wet" as the menu cheekily suggests.

As well as a range of coffees, teas and sof drinks, you'll also find an indulgent milkshake menu with choices like Reese's Cup, Kinder Bueno and Oreo, and pots of soft serve topped with a chocolate of your choice.

Owner Lory Grigore told The Manc he was inspired to open the new shop after spending time travelling in America. Here, he tried the treats for the first time and had a lightbulb moment - deciding it was a great idea to bring them to Manchester.

Now, he's gearing up to open the shop this Thursday. Come 12pm when the doors swing open, we expect there will be quite the queue... and the rest, well, is sure to be d*ckstory.

Mr D*ck opens this Thursday at Shudehill, seven days a week from 12-7pm.

Over 50 firefighters have been working overnight to tackle a blaze in woodland area close to one of Oldham's most popular beauty spots.

Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service (GMFRS) confirmed that fire crews were called out at around 11pm on Monday 11 July to reports of a fire on Bank Lane, in Greenfield, Oldham near to Dovestone Reservoir.

10 fire engines from stations across Greater Manchester were at the scene, and worked throughout the night to bring the blaze under control.

GMFRS said the blaze involved "four large seats of fire".

https://twitter.com/manchesterfire/status/1546640015358402560?s=20&t=Hs0Kk7r8lx7XyCZBW9mnZQ

Members of the public were asked to please keep away from the area while firefighters worked to tackle the fire.

Local residents nearby were also encouraged to keep their windows and doors closed.

Fire crews used hose reels and lighting to bring the blaze under control, GMFRS said, but while the worst of it has now been extinguished, crews still at the scene and are dampening down the affected area.

A fire investigation team is also working to establish the cause of the fire.

https://twitter.com/Fire_Photos/status/1546716056823242757?s=20&t=Hs0Kk7r8lx7XyCZBW9mnZQ

The overnight blaze comes after new measures were introduced at the beauty spot ahead of the summer in attempts to cut the risk of wildfires.

A public space protection order is currently in place at Dovestone Reservoir to stop any BBQs, campfires, and fireworks from being lit, and two new seasonal fire rangers have been employed with the job of helping to raise awareness of wildfires and their devastating consequences.

The rangers are also conducting an outreach programme in schools and the local community to help visitors understand what they can do to prevent them.

Oldham Council, Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service (GMRFS), and Greater Manchester Police (GMP) are all working alongside the RSPB and United Utilities to protect the moorland over the next few months as the wildfire risk increases, and just like the rangers, one of the main things they will be doing is making sure people are aware of the public space protection order in place.

Aldi is selling portable picnic tables with built-in wine glass holders, and they're set to hit the legendary middle aisle later this week.

With summer officially here, the sun shining down, and much of the UK set to welcome record-high temperatures over this next week, many of us will be looking to make the most of the warm weather while we can before it inevitably disappears.

And that means a picnic is bound to be on the cards.

As enjoyable as picnics are, they can sometimes end up being a bit of a logistical nightmare, but Aldi's latest invention looks set to take some of that stress away.

Marks & Spencer has launched new miniature ice lollies that are a Percy Pig twist on a British summertime favourite.

The supermarket has created Percy Pig Mini Curly Tails, which look an awful lot like the ever-popular Twisters.

The new snacks, launched a few weeks ago, feature a twirl of strawberry ice lolly and Percy Pig flavoured ice cream.

M&S's famous mascot apparently tastes of a fruity mix of raspberry, strawberry, cherry and grape, The Hoot reports.

The Mini Curly Tails lollies have landed just in time for the heatwave that's set to scorch much of the UK this weekend.

M&S said: "FEELING HOT HOT HOT!? Percy Pig to the rescue with his new Mini Curly Tails! 🤭 Made with Percy Pig™ flavoured ice cream and a strawberry fruit ice swirl, they're perfect for this week's warm weather!!"

The lollies are inspired by the original Percy Pig sweets, which M&S sells 16 million packets of every year - the equivalent of 10 Percy Pig sweets every second.

Several people have pointed out the similarities to another popular ice lolly, with one saying: "Look identical to the Walls Twister."

But most just can't wait to get their hands on them, saying: "omg we need to get these I don't make the rules."

Model Danielle Lloyd said: "I need to try these!!!!"

Since M&S started treating Percy Pig as a brand and a character, he's got married (Penny), travelled the world, and had piglets - with new product launches at every stage.

Meagan Hempenstall, Percy Pig brand marketing manager at M&S, said: "He is the most famous M&S brand and has a very loyal following.

"That is especially true since we brought Percy to life on social media last year. Percy has long had an organic following on social media, but last year we launched his official Instagram account, and he made his debut on TikTok."

The Percy Pig Mini Curly Tails ice lollies are in M&S stores now.

Manchester has been named as one of the top 53 best cities to visit in the world right now, according to a new prestigious ranking.

It's just one of a long list of titles our city has claimed in recent weeks,

Over the last month or so, Manchester has been crowned the best UK city for retail and leisure in 2022, voted as the top rated city to replace London as the UK capital, and then, picked as one of the happiest places in the UK to retire, and was named by The Economist as the 28th most liveable city in the world in the ‘Global Liveability Index 2022’ - being the highest-rated UK city on the list, and beating out big hitters like Barcelona, New York city, and our own country’s capital in the process.

But it seems like the titles just won’t stop coming, as now, renowned media company Time Out has released its fifth annual list of the best cities in the world to visit right now - and Manchester has made the cut.

Every year, more than 20,000 people in cities around the world are surveyed for the Time Out Index to identify the best places to visit right now, and this year, the company has also decided to tap into the expertise of Time Out’s global network of local editors and city experts to compile the annual ranking. 

Last year, the list focused on how cities pulled together through the COVID-19 pandemic through community spirit and resilience, but for the 2022 ranking, Time Out says its has added extra weight to the things that make cities great places to visit as well as to live. 

• 

• 

This means that the top cities this year are places that excel at going out, including eating and drinking, art, culture and museums, and nightlife, and they are places that locals rate highly for fun, for beauty, and basically, aren’t boring, overly expensive or overrated.

To make for an even more enjoyable break, the top picks also score well for practical factors like walkability, good public transport, safety, and sustainability. 

And Manchester has taken the overall 11th spot on the list.

Read more: Manchester named 28th most ‘liveable’ city in the world 2022 - and beats London, Barcelona, and more

According to Time Out, us Mancs have voted our city as the second friendliest, with 74% of locals’ votes, and it also came second for its resilience (67% of residents), and the third best for progressiveness (65%) - however, out of all of the global cities surveyed, Manchester received the least votes for its beauty, with only 11% of residents surveyed rating its looks.

Also, after topping the list for nightlife last year, Manchester doesn’t even feature in the top three this time around, but Time Out pointed to there being "great things to do on the horizon", with the upcoming opening of arts venue The Factory, and the Castlefield Viaduct highline-style park.

Edinburgh has taken the top spot on the 2022 list, followed by Chicago, Medellín, Glasgow, and Amsterdam rounding out the top five, and other UK cities like Birmingham and the capital of London also making an appearance on the longlist.

"The Time Out Index 2022 combines the experiences and opinions of more than 20,000 people in hundreds of cities around the world," explained Dave Calhoun - Chief Content Officer North America & UK at Time Out.

"This year, we are showcasing the cities that locals, and our editors, not only love living in, but that we think everyone should be visiting.

"Our list of the Best Cities in the World provides the ultimate travel bucket list."

Noughties rap legend Busta Rhymes will be performing a huge headline gig in Manchester this autumn. 

The Touch It singer will be bringing a ‘night of pure Busta nostalgia’ alongside some fresh tunes to the BEC Arena in Stretford.

A family have paid tribute to their 16-year-old son who tragically died after getting into difficulty swimming in a quarry.

Jamie Lewin, from Southport, was a promising young boxer who 'had so much to look forward to', his mum has said.

Steph Lewin described her son as 'one in a million' in a heartbreaking tribute issued through Lancashire Police.

Emergency services were scrambled to the quarry Dawber Delph in Appley Bridge, on the outskirts of Wigan, at around 9.40pm on Saturday 9 July.

There were reports that a boy had entered the water and got into difficulty.

Following a search, the body of a 16-year-old was recovered and sadly pronounced dead at the scene. He was later identified as Jamie Lewin.

The tribute from his mother said: "Jamie was a promising boxer who loved life and had so much to look forward to. He was so loved by everyone.

"He touched so many peoples’ lives in such a short time, he really did spread himself far. He really was one in a million.

"I'm so happy I was his mum. He was only 16 and so full of life and so happy."

The death is not being treated as suspicious and a file will be passed to the coroner in due course.

Two other teenage boys have died at the same site, in 2015 and 1999.

Young people are still flocking to swim in the dangerous waters in the warm weather, Lancs Live reports, with many local residents calling for the disused quarry to be drained or filled in.

There are warnings not to swim in quarries as the water can often be extremely deep and cold, with steep sides that make it hard to climb out.

The North West Ambulance Service (NWAS) has confirmed it has moved to its highest alert level due to the recent hot weather across the UK.

With the shining sun and soaring temperatures set to continue across the country into next week, the region's ambulance service announced yesterday its decision to raise to its highest operational pressure level - which means the trust now stands at Resource Escalation Action Plan (REAP) Level Four.

Level Four "indicates a potential for failures" within ambulances services as they try to cope with "extreme pressure", according to the national NHS framework.

The Health Service Journal has reported that all 10 of the country's ambulance services have also been raised to the highest level.

NWAS said the heat had caused a rise in people struggling with respiratory illness.

Confirming the move to REAP Level Four, a spokesperson for NWAS said: "As a result of the recent warm weather and increased demand, we have decided to step up to Level 4 of our Resource Escalation Action Plan, which represents extreme pressure.

"In moving to Level 4, we will be maximising all available resources, increasing staffing levels in emergency call centres and on the road."

NWAS is now urging people not to dial 999 other than for serious emergencies, and to instead call either 111, contact their GP, or visit a pharmacist for advice.

The increasing incident level for NWAS comes as two of the region's major hospitals, Royal Bolton Hospital and Stepping Hill Hospital in Stockport, have warned of serious pressures at their A&E departments, and have admitted that staff are currently dealing with "extremely busy" situations.

Images circulating on social media earlier this week showed ambulances have been spotted queueing up outside the Stockport hospital

The two hospitals have urged patients to only come to A&E if they have any of the following symptoms - severe chest pains, difficulty breathing, bleeding you can’t stop, possible broken bones, loss of consciousness, stroke symptoms, or severe tummy pain or headache.

You are also still encouraged to attend A&E if you have a child who is very unwell.

Two new mystery Cadbury Dairy Milk bars are soon to land on shop shelves across the UK, and you could bag a big prize if you guess the flavour.

Fresh off the back of the return of the fan-favourite chocolate orange range featuring Giant Buttons, Fingers, and Orange Twirls, the highly-anticipated launch of the new Caramilk range last year, and most-recently, the release of the new Caramel Twirl back in May, Cadbury has now added two new flavours into the mix.

But there's a catch - the new flavours have been kept a mystery.

The beloved UK confectionary brand has chosen to keep the flavours of its two latest Dairy Milk bars a secret as part of a new competition.

The Cadbury Mystery Bar competition is challenging chocolate lovers to put their tastebuds to the ultimate test to see if they can correctly guess the mystery flavour that's encased inside the company's iconic milk chocolate.

Two new Cadbury Mystery Bar have been released - 01 and 02 - which are both different flavours, and it's up to you whether you choose to solve the flavour of both of the bars or just one of them.

While they're set to hit shop and supermarket shelves very soon, you can also get your hands on the bars in a range of different sizes from the Cadbury website - with prices starting at just 69p for a single bar, and £2.49 for a 170g bar.

There's also a Cadbury Mystery Bar Pack for £6 too, which includes both a 45g and 170g bar in each of the two flavours.

So, how does it actually work then? How do you enter to be in with a chance of winning? Well, it's simple, and all you'll need to do is follow these three steps:

1. Select which Cadbury Mystery Bar you want to solve
2. Solve the mystery flavour - you can submit one guess per bar, per day
3. Enter your details to win

Guess the flavour correctly and you could win one of two prizes worth a whopping £5,000 each.

If you correctly guess the flavour of either Mystery Bar 01 or Mystery Bar 02, then you’ll automatically be entered in the draw for a chance to win one of two prizes, which, rather unsurprisingly, are also being kept a secret.

While Cadbury is keeping its cards closer to its chest when it comes to what the prizes are, they've assured chocolate fans that they're both worth £5,000.

You've got until 5pm on 7 October to enter and get your guesses in here.

Once the competition has ended, winners will be selected at random from all of the successful entries, and Cadbury says it will contact the lucky chocolate lovers directly.

Diners have hit out at glitzy Manchester restaurant Rosso this week after being turned away for wearing shorts in the middle of a heatwave.

Despite owner Rio Ferdinand having spent the majority of his footballing career in said attire, his restaurant seems to have quite the strict dress code - as evidenced by a number of angry reviews left on its Tripadvisor page in recent weeks.

A number of diners have hit out at the Spring Gardens site for refusing them entry for wearing what they describe as "smart shorts", with one lambasting instructions from the restaurant to read its T&Cs, saying "Who really checks these? We weren't applying for a mortgage!".

Bosses say that they make it clear to customers that there is a dress code at the site and that management retains the right to refuse entry at their discretion.

Earlier this year on 19 May, the restaurant issued a statement on its website that said: "Rosso has a smart dress code – no shorts/sportswear/hats. Management retains the right to refuse entry."

However, this really hasn't gone down well with some of their customers - especially this week, as temperatures across the country have soared to 30C.

One review, posted by user eileenp80 to Rosso's TripAdvisor page two days ago, told of how their group of nine were turned away from celebrating a 40th birthday despite turning up to the restaurant "smartly dressed" with the menu wearing "tailored shorts and smart polo shirts".

She continued: "We hadn't got as far as reception when a very rude man dressed in a track suit with a back pack on said, You can't come in here wearing shorts. We had no idea who he was. Turned out he was a doorman. [...] We thought he was joking, it was 27° outside. The receptionists confirmed this was so.

"I looked inside the restaurant, there were 4 tables occupied. One of which had a customer in denim jeans and a t shirt. We said surely you are not going to turn away a potential bill of £500+ due to this rule? In these economic times and given that the restaurant was almost empty, surely common sense could prevail? At this stage one of the children burst into tears because he thought we wouldn't be able to celebrate the said birthday.

"There was absolutely no way we were to be allowed in. We were refunded the deposit and told the shorts rule is in the T&C's. Who really checks these? We weren't applying for a mortgage! On checking, this is correct but we were unaware of it. Coincidentally, we bumped into friends who had just eaten at Hawksmoor, all dressed in shorts. I know where I will spend my money in future. Rosso you disappointed us."

Another review posted this week by Tripadvisor user Alien-review tells of a similar experience, where they turned up in tailored shorts on a "very sunny day" only to be turned away by "a very abrupt and rude doorman."

The reviewer continued: "When we asked to speak to the manager we were told very aggressively “ring them” another ‘customer’ entered in cargo pants, when we questioned this the doorman said “well there not joggers are they” we did ring the restaurant from outside but the manager refused to come out, also the doorman seems to not recognise that bookings are secured with card details with a no show charge, they did cancel this after we called them from outside.

"Maybe the doorman was the owner and under the current economic climate can afford to turn customers away. Also what if someone has a hidden disability that forces them to wear shorts! We have passed our comments on direct to the restaurant but we’re not expecting any response.

"Will not be returning and looking at the reviews not many others will be either, took our custom to a 4* establishment who were more than welcoming."

The celebrity hotspot has been a fixture at the top of Manchester's King Street for years, regularly pulling in famous faces like Coronation Street star Helen Flanagan

In a statement issued in response to the review, Rosso commented on the complaints saying: "We truly value all our customers but we do have a very clearly stated dress code which guests are made aware of at the time of booking and is available for all to see.

"The last thing we wish to do is to upset any of our guests."

One of Manchester's leading street food hubs has been named as one of the best in the UK, beating out some stiff competition.

Grub, housed just outside the city centre in the Green Quarter, was praised in the prestigious National Geographic list for its rotation of traders and for its beer garden space.

The guide covers venues across the UK, and includes establishments in London, Edinburgh, Newcastle, Bristol and Leicester, as well as our home city.

Grub started life as a pop-up way back in 2014, travelling around various brewery tap rooms including Blackjack, Runaway, and Alphabet Brewing Company.

• 

• 

• 

It then found a semi-permanent home in the railway arches near Piccadilly, and in the warmer months, at Mayfield Depot on the site that's now home to Escape to Freight Island's outdoor space.

It's now located on Redbank in the Green Quarter, with two floors of indoor seating, three bars, events spaces and 'Manchester’s best kept secret beer garden'.

Grub welcomes in a rotation of street food operators, and dedicates Sundays to plant-based food and drink.

National Geographic said: "Housed in a former textile warehouse, Grub is home to a craft beer bar, an independent cinema and an event space.

"At weekends, some of the city’s best street traders — including Oh Mei Dumpling and What’s Your Beef — serve up an incredible array of dishes in the beer garden.

"Don’t miss Plant Powered Sundays, a weekly event with delicious vegan eats from the likes of Seitan’s Kebab and Bee Kind Bakery."

Boohoo has announced that it will become the latest retailer to start charging shoppers for returning items.

Joining what is a growing list of companies, which now includes Uniqlo, Next, and Zara, online Manchester-based fast fashion retailer Boohoo has revealed that shoppers will now be charged a fee for returning items, reports Retail Week.

Customers will now have to pay £1.99 when they send unwanted goods back, and the cost will be deducted from the amount they are refunded.

Boohoo has said its decision to begin charging for returns comes amid the rising cost of shipping, and also after online shopping boomed during the COVID-19 pandemic and has continued to remain popular since.

The nature of online shopping often sees customers buy, and then more likely to return items bought online than they would in store - which raises costs for retailers.

A 2020 study by the consultancy KPMG also found that up to half of clothing bought online is returned to some retailers, with the whole operation estimated to cost businesses about £7 billion a year.

Confirming the decision to begin charging customers for returns, a spokesperson for Boohoo said: "As the cost of shipping has increased, we've had to look at where we can adapt without compromising what our customers love most - the convenience of shopping with us and the great value that our brands offer.

"This has meant that we will be applying a charge of £1.99 to returns, so that we can continue to offer great prices and products and do this in a more sustainable way."

The charging for returns also comes after the retailer - which also owns brands including Debenhams, PrettyLittleThing, Dorothy Perkins, Wallis, and Burton - warned back in May it was likely going to be forced to put up clothing prices this year as it was needing to cut back on its sales and profit expectations.

The retailer also hinted then that customers were returning more unwanted items than ever before post-pandemic.

Retail analysts said other retailers are now likely to follow suit in charging for returns.

Bluedot festival is finally set to return next weekend after two years of cancellations.

The much-loved festival marries together the worlds of music and science and takes place at arguably the most beautiful location in the UK.

Some of the world's biggest artists will be performing beneath the awesome sight of the 76-metre-wide Lovell Telescope, which will be lit up with projections as a huge digital artwork for the first time.

Bluedot will be back between 21 and 24 July for its fifth instalment.

Here's everything you need to know about the massive festival near Greater Manchester.

Who are the headliners?

This year, headliners at Bluedot will include Groove Armada (as part of the band's final live tour), post-rockers Mogwai, and Metronomy.

In a UK festival exclusive, Bjork will perform a uniquely commissioned performance with the Halle Orchestra to close the festival.

Bluedot’s now-traditional opening concert on the Thursday evening will see Mercury-nominated Hannah Peel and Paraochestra take to the stage.

Also confirmed on the bill are psychedelic space rockers Spiritualized, current chart-toppers Yard Act, Warp Records mainstay Squarepusher, multi-instrumentalist composer Anna Meredith, the legendary likes of A Certain Ratio and Tim Burgess, and techno producer and creator of the official theme for the 2023 Women’s World Cup Kelly Lee Owens.

Bluedot 2022’s science programme will welcome key speakers including Radio 4’s Jam Al-Khalili, British filmmaker David Olusoga, space scientist Monica Grady, and many more.

Comedians such as Desiree Burch, Olga Koch, Robin Ince and Ahir Shah will also be making appearances as part of the culture programme.

How much are tickets?

There are still some tickets available for Bluedot festival.

Last release weekend tickets for adults are £205.25 including booking fees (then it's £87 for 11-15 year olds, and £27.50 for children aged between six and 10 years old).

If you want to add on early Thursday entry, it's £31.90 for adults.

You can also add on access to the VIP Village for £110.00 including booking fees.

Where is Bluedot festival and how do I get there?

Bluedot takes place at the Jodrell Bank Observatory in Cheshire, a UNESCO World Heritage Centre.

The weekend campsite will open from midday on Thursday 21 July for those with a Thursday add-on ticket. For everyone else, it will open from 9am on the Friday.

For Friday, Saturday and Sunday, gates to the festival will be open between 9am and 9pm.

There are several camping options to choose from at Bluedot, and general weekend tickets include access to the standard camping site.

There are also a limited number of boutique campsites at The Colony, which are selling out quick - you can browse remaining availability at discoverthebluedot.com/accommodation.

Bluedot has included family-only areas within the standard campsite for those bringing children, and space for live-in vehicles.

How does the cashless system work?

Bluedot is a fully cashless festival across its bars, food stands, merchandise and other points of sale, in a bit to improve customer experience with faster service and shorter queue times.

Unlike 2019, the festival won't be operating a payment wristband system and will instead just be using standard payment methods.

That means all major credit and debit cards can be used, either as contactless or chip and pin, as well as wearable forms of payment like Apple Pay and Google Pay.

The first baby beaver in over 400 years has been born at a nature reserve in Cheshire.

The Cheshire Wildlife Trust said it was "delighted" to announce that a new young beaver - known as a kit - has been spotted at Hatchmere Nature Reserve in Delamere, which confirms that beavers have bred in Cheshire for the first time in over 400 years.

There's no denying that beavers are a rare sight in the North West - so rare, in fact, that despite the animal being native to the county, there hadn’t actually been any residing in Cheshire before 2020, due to the fact the species became extinct in the 16th century as a result of continuous hunting for their fur and meat.

This is why the release of a pair of the endangered animals into Hatchmere Nature Reserve was such a big deal for the county.

The Eurasian beavers - one male and one female, named Rowan and Willow - were released in Cheshire back in November 2020 to help benefit the local surroundings as part of a five-year land management project that hopes to create natural flood defences.

It's also hoped that the beavers would improve biodiversity at the site.

https://twitter.com/CheshireWT/status/1546891667638206465?s=20&t=f9SCvsHBFVhJBc-ub2apPA

And it certainly sounds like it's working.

Since Rowan and Willow's release into Hatchmere, the Trust says the pair have transformed a key area into a wetland haven with dams and lodges, as beavers' natural behaviour in creating dams and holding water is encouraging previously-unseen species into the area such as Kingfisher, stoats, and a whole host of waterfowl.

"The future of Hatchmere nature reserve is looking very positive since we released Rowan and Willow into back in 2020," explains Kevin Feeney - Reserves Manager for Hatchmere.

"The dams and wetlands they have created are helping us to reach our project aims to improve water quality within the catchment and help reverse the decline in Cheshire’s Wildlife."

He confirmed that "monitoring is ongoing".

Kevin also said the public’s support is "inspiring", adding that: "The arrival of the first beaver kit to be born in Cheshire for over 400 years is a real milestone that couldn’t have been achieved without our supporters."

Shoppers will soon be able to pick up designer items on a rental basis from Cheshire Oaks Designer Outlet. 

The luxury retail destination will be hosting a pop-up shop from By Rotation, an app that allows people to rent, lend and buy fashion items for a fraction of the retail price. 

It will be the brand’s first pop-up outside London and is set to land here in the north west next week.

It’s also the first such standalone rental space for McArthurGlen Designer Outlet Cheshire Oaks.

Visitors will be able to browse and try on items from the likes of The Vampire’s Wife, Ganni, Jacquemus, Zimmermann, Rat&Boa and Rixo, before booking them through the app for special occasions like a birthday dinner, a wedding, or just a night out. 

Shoppers can then complete their looks with accessories from the permanent shops at Cheshire Oaks Designer Outlet, such as Coach, Mulberry, Furla, Kate Spade, Pinko, Kurt Geiger and Burberry.

By Rotation has more than 300,000 users, which it says includes students, professors, lawyers, A-listers, celebrities and even royals. 

It allows shoppers to wear special designer items at a fraction of the retail price, and allows those who own luxury items to monetise their own wardrobes. 

The pop-up will have a collection of more than 150 items selected by the app’s top ‘rotators’. 

By Rotation founder and CEO Eshita Kabra Davies said: “After many successful pop-ups in London, we’re so excited to be popping up in Cheshire Oaks and having a physical presence regionally. 

“Our 300K strong community is based all over the UK so I can’t wait to meet our local Rotators as well as introduce our platform to new users. By Rotation is about making luxury fashion available to all, something we and McArthurGlen both have in common.”

Kenny Murray, general manager at Cheshire Oaks Designer Outlet said: “Creating unparalleled shopping experiences for Centre guests and the wider community is a priority for us.

Over eight million households across the UK will get £326 paid into their accounts today in a bid to help with the cost of living crisis.

In what is part of the government’s £37 billion support package unveiled amid the cost of living crisis as inflation, energy prices, and general living costs continue to soar, almost one in four families across England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland will get £326 sent directly to them from today.

It's the first of two payments these households will receive - with the second instalment of £324 to be sent later this year.

Most people who are entitled to the first instalment of the payment will receive it between now and 31 July 2022, the government has confirmed.

Households who are eligible for the payment due to the fact they receive tax credits and no other eligible benefits will receive their first instalment from HMRC in the autumn, and the second instalment in the winter.

The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) will administer payments for customers on all other eligible means-tested benefits.

People do not need to contact the government, or apply for the payment at any stage.

https://twitter.com/dwppressoffice/status/1547469752033071105?s=20&t=hksR5A8WjNUHL-kM0mYsRA

In addition to the £650 Cost of Living Payment, all domestic energy customers in the UK will also receive a £400 grant to help with energy bills, and those in Council Tax bands A-D in England will get a £150 rebate - which has already been sent to many households.

This will bring the government's support to £1,200 by the end of the year.

On top of that, nearly one in ten people will also get a £150 disability payment this autumn, and more than eight million pensioner households could get an extra £300 from Winter Fuel Payments in both November and December.

"Just as we looked after people during lockdown, we will help them get through these tough economic times," Prime Minister Boris Johnson said of the payments.

"Today's payment is the signal to millions of families that we are on their side and we have already promised more cash in the autumn, alongside other measures - including our Help for Households - to support the vulnerable and ease the burden."

Chancellor Nadhim Zahawi added: "It's great that millions of the families who are most in need are starting to receive their cost of living payments, which I know will be a massive help for people who are struggling."

https://twitter.com/DWP/status/1530194131733078016?s=20&t=hksR5A8WjNUHL-kM0mYsRA

The Chancellor said the payments are "a vital part" of the government's support package.

The first Cost of Living Payments hitting accounts today comes after the Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR) has warned of the UK heading into a potential recession - especially with "soaring energy costs" and "geopolitical tensions" being contended with.

It warned that "many threats remain" going forward.

"With rising inflation potentially tipping the economy into recession, continued uncertainty about our future trading relationship with the EU, a resurgence in COVID cases, a changing global climate, and rising interest rates all continuing to hang over the fiscal outlook," the OBR said.

To mark global Pride month, the hotel has been sharing loud and proud stories, as well as across social media under the Kimpton Hotels & Restaurants tagline, “We Say Gay!”. The hotel will continue to support its charity partners including George House Trust, a non-profit organisation which provides support services to people living with HIV, their carers, partners, and families. It is a partnership that’s particularly close to the heart of Kimpton Clocktower Hotel and The Refuge, who have a broader commitment to supporting the LGBTQIA+ community.

The Kimpton Clocktower team are also completing the ‘Be Trans Aware’ training programme, which empowers professionals and teams with industry-leading know-how and best practice when it comes to understanding and supporting the full Gender Spectrum.

In true Kimpton style, Pride celebrations will continue into July including a partnership with the world’s largest free-to-attend celebration of gender diversity, Sparkle Weekend. 

The annual Sparkle Weekend hosted by Sparkle Charity in Sackville Gardens in the heart of the Gay Village, returns to the city from Friday 8^th – Sunday 10^th July for its fourteenth year. On Friday 8^th July from 5pm, Kimpton Clocktower Hotel will invite Sparkle Weekend members and hotel guests to the first-ever ‘Sparkle Social Hour’ for a drink and celebrations on the house. 

The Refuge will also be adding a special Sparkle cocktail to its menu – a sparkling fiesta of white rum, cranberry, almond orgeat and cacao blanco, topped with an apple and rose foam. 50% of proceeds from the cocktail will be donated to Sparkle, the National Transgender Charity.

Coinciding with Sparkle Weekend, Kimpton Clocktower Hotel will be launching a summer residency with The Manc Audio from Saturday 9^th July – series of events taking over The Refuge Terrace in August and September. Each event will take pride in the broad spectrum of diversity within up-and-coming DJ and music talent from across Manchester and the North.

July will also see the launch of a new free exhibition produced by long-time partner the British Culture Archive. Launching on Tuesday 19^th July, ‘Together As One – A Celebration of Manchester’s LGBTQIA+ Community’ feature a collection of photographs by Jon Shard and Peter J Walsh capturing two iconic moments within Manchester’s vibrant history. Jon Shard cut his teeth at club night Flesh on The Haçienda’s hallowed dancefloor, taking photos that would capture the club night in all its carnivalesque glory. Flesh and the resultant positive shift of attitudes, set the path for the rise of ‘Gaychester’ and the city’s thriving LGBTQIA+ scene today. Legendary photographer Peter J Walsh documented the protest against Margaret Thatcher’s Clause 28 of the Local Government Act and march through Manchester City centre on 20^th February 1988 – one of the largest LGBTQIA+ demonstrations ever held in the UK. 

The summer of Pride will culminate with the return of all singing, all dancing Come As You Are Weekender party to celebrate Manchester Pride in August.  The celebration of music, love and inclusivity will commence on Saturday 27^th August to Sunday 28^th August with headline sets from The Reflex and John Morales. Respected by music lovers and DJs worldwide, The Reflex will return to the decks for the first time in three years on Saturday 27^th August. Sunday 28^th August will act as a farewell gig for the iconic John Morales. As one of the most recognised names in dance music history and DJ’ing some of the most prestigious venues in the world including Studio 54, Morales will take to the terrace to perform a closing show like no other. Party goers can also expect appearances from Queens Anna Phylactic and Narcissa Nightshade. The Come As You Are Weekenders—especially around Manchester Pride—have developed an electric reputation throughout the UK and has become synonymous with a special and unique togetherness that only Manchester can magic from its people.

Speaking on the announcement, General Manager of Kimpton Clocktower Hotel, Johan Scheepers said: “Inclusion and diversity is an integral part to the Kimpton Clocktower Hotel and Kimpton brand and we have always been extremely proud of this. It is crucial that any activity we do embraces the LGBTQIA+ community, so we’re more excited than ever to be announcing three-months of Pride championing activity. 

For us, it’s never just about doing something for Pride – its’s how we can spearhead the whole community throughout the entirety of the year. We look forward to welcoming all guests this summer and beyond.”

— Chester Zoo (@chesterzoo) July 12, 2022]]> https://themanc.com/news/a-new-93m-18-storey-tower-with-a-rooftop-pool-is-planned-for-manchester/ Thu, 14 Jul 2022 10:11:07 +0000 https://themanc.com/?p=290606

Plans have been revealed for a new 18-storey tower in Manchester city centre, complete with a rooftop pool.

The Alberton will be the latest development from Bruntwood, who want to build a 'revolutionary' workspace and leisure destination.

The £93m development would replace the existing Alberton House on St Mary's Parsonage, the site of the first Manchester Gas Works.

Plans include a rooftop holistic wellness centre, which would house the UK's highest workspace pool as well as a hydrotherapy vitality pool, hot and cold treatment rooms, a fitness studio, a yoga terrace, a physio room, and shower and changing facilities.

On the 17th floor, there'll be a panoramic roof terrace with views across the city, and a food and beverage outlet.

The Alberton would be the flagship building for Bruntwood Works' Pioneer programme

It's being designed by EPR Architects, who are creating a 'modern reimagining' of Manchester's Victorian cotton mills.

The work on the site is set to begin later this year ahead of an early 2025 completion.

Taking place nearby, also within Manchester City Council’s St. Mary’s Parsonage Strategic Regeneration Framework (SRF), is the redevelopment of the grade-II listed Kendal Milne building, Bruntwood’s Blackfriars House, and King’s House, which is currently undergoing redevelopment.

The plans propose the demolition of the existing Alberton House, which has been identified as an energy-inefficient 1960s office building.

When complete, The Alberton's ground floor will connect the Trinity Bridge walkway and Motor Square, with a hospitality offering across the entire floor including a restaurant, bar and coffee shop.

Completing the plans are a screening and cinema room, a flexible event space, a cycle hub with showers, and Brompton bike lockers, as well as the 17th floor roof terrace.

Ciara Keeling, CEO of Bruntwood Works, commented: “The Alberton is going to revolutionise workspace, not just in Manchester but across the UK. It is a development that supports integrating wellbeing into customer’s daily lives to encourage a positive work/life balance.

"This is evident in our plans to create a holistic wellbeing centre that will act as the focal point of the entire development, including a rooftop pool with panoramic views of the city. 

“We understand that the way we work and live has changed for the long-term, so we wanted to give our customers a space that suits their changing needs and helps to promote a working environment where they can thrive professionally, but also personally. 

“Our Pioneer programme has always recognised the need to incorporate best-in-class wellness and amenity credentials within the workspace, and The Alberton will offer the pinnacle of this. We are proud to be able to deliver a world-class workplace and leisure destination to Manchester as it continues to compete on a global stage for inward investment.”

The jacket that Andy Burnham wore during a viral speech where he railed against more COVID-19 restrictions for the region back in 2020 is going on display at a museum in Manchester.

In a moment that is etched in the memory of so many Mancunians, the Mayor of Greater Manchester stood outside The Bridgewater Hall back on 15 October 2020 to address the people of the city-region and stand up against a government intent on introducing more COVID-19 restrictions on an area already hit hard enough as it was.

Streamed live across the nation and with the rest of the UK watching on, Andy Burnham, along with other North West leaders, backed away from government talks to place Greater Manchester in the toughest Tier 3 restrictions.

He criticised the financial support being offered by the Conservative government, saying that the 60% furlough scheme for employees was insufficient, and sharing his urgent concerns that it would push people into poverty.

He famously accused the government of "playing poker with people’s lives".

And it's fair to say it earned Burnham respect from locals, and a few new fans from outside the area in the process.

Shortly after he delivered the now-famous speech, the Labour Mayor of Greater Manchester began to go viral on social media, with admiration from people in their thousands pouring in, and even inspiring a Vogue article headlined: 'Suddenly, inexplicably, we all fancy Andy Burnham."

His role in securing more money for local Northern communities during the pandemic led to him being crowned 'King of the North' by the media.

But an unlikely star of the whole ordeal ended up being the jacket he was wearing at the time.

So much so, that the navy blue worker's jacket in question - which Burnham confessed he bought in the 2012 Boxing Day sales from House of Fraser in Manchester city centre - is going on display at the People's History Museum this week until early September, and it will likely see it cementing its place as a local artefact worth remembering.

Mr Burnham admitted that he had actually wanted to wear his favourite North Face cagoule that had made a couple of appearances around the same time for the Bridgewater Hall press conference, but his wife told him to put on something else, "otherwise they’ll think you’re sponsored by North Face".

So he put on what he calls his "second division" jacket that he normally wears to watch Everton at the weekends - and the rest, as they say, is history.

Speaking on the jacket arrival at the museum, Sam Jenkins - Collections Manager at the People's History Museum - said: "As a museum, we knew that it was important to collect the political story of COVID for future generations.

"We got a copy of the speech from that day, but we also felt that the jacket was a great visual representation of the changing situation that autumn and of the split between Westminster and the regions.

"It struck a note with people because it is a very working class jacket.

"It feels authentic [on Mr Burnham], and it was very much in stark contrast to the suits being worn in those Westminster briefings."

Several Mancs were caught by surprise yesterday by the sight of a group of totally naked people having a pint in a local beer garden.

The group of four were spotted having a drink outside the New Union Hotel on Canal Street, with not a scrap of clothing between them.

They were later seen cycling around the city - including a pair on a tandem bicycle - and grabbing a takeaway from McTucky's in the Gay Village.

The duo on the tandem, known as the Free Wilders, are actually on a pretty epic bike ride across the UK for a very worthy cause.

Colin Unsworth and Sadie Tann are naturists, and advocates for rewilding, the basis of which is that nature can look after itself if ecosystems are properly restored.

They're currently cycling the massive distance between John o'Groats and Land's End to raise money for charity, and doing it all starkers.

During their stop-over in Manchester, Colin said they had a 'great reception and positivity from the people of Manchester', a section he'd been looking forward to all along.

On their JustGiving page, which has currently raised almost £2000 for both Rewilding Britain and mental health charity Mind, they say they chose to do the ride naked to help spread their message.

They wrote: "If you're reading this it is most likely because of the attention that this challenge will get. If we just ride the LEJOG in cycling gear, no one will notice our message. But also, we're going to have a scream.

"We are going to visit rewilding farms and projects along the route and stop for parties wherever we can. This is a celebration of our future and of body freedom."

They advocate for the mental health benefits of naturism in a world that treats nudity as 'humiliating'.

The Free Wilders say: "We grow up in a world that expects us to be ashamed of our bodies as though there is something so bad, so hideous that there are few things more humiliating than being seen naked.

"This is reinforced by images that sexualise nudity and tell us that without a magazine perfect body, we have something to hide and be ashamed of. We are breaking free of that. Non sexual nudity should be celebrated and seen as normal!"

If you want to join in with the Free Wilders, you can follow along on Facebook to join in with a leg of their cycle from John O'Groats to Land's End.

Manchester's first x-rated cafe has opened its doors today, and the queues outside are absolutely massive.

The much-talked about Mr Dick has opened on Shudehill on the edge of the Northern Quarter.

The cafe specialises in penis and vulva-shaped waffles on a stick, each one dipped in chocolate and sprinkled in a range of toppings.

On its opening day today, the queue stretched down the street, with people happily waiting up to 30 minutes for a bite of the illicit treats - and yes, that includes us here at The Manc.

A penis-shaped neon sign has been placed in the window, below a hot pink sign that declares it 'The first sexy waffle and coffee shop'.

Inside, it's been decorated in a flamingo pink colour, with vines hanging down from the ceiling.

But the reason everyone is here is for the desserts themselves, which will set you back £8.50 a piece.

You could have your dong dessert dunked in a vat of molten white chocolate sauce, before covering it in toppings like marshmallows or roasted peanuts.

Or you could choose a 'pussy' waffle coated in pink ruby chocolate, with crushed Oreos scattered on top.

Mr Dick also has gold chocolate, Nutella, and rotating specials, with other toppings like gold crunch, Lotus Biscoff, and Cadbury Flakes.

There are milkshakes and soft-serve ice cream too, plus a full coffee menu and cold drinks.

Mr Dick is open now on Shudehill.
