Government advice on BBQ safety

The UK Government have issued some guidelines for staying safe whilst using a barbecue:
- Keep a bucket of water, sand or a garden hose nearby for emergencies.
- Follow the safety instructions provided with your gas, charcoal, or disposable barbecue.
- Never use a barbecue indoors, in a tent, under an awning or in a caravan.
- Use enough charcoal to cover the base of the barbecue, but not more (normally around 5cms or 2 inches).
- Keep children, pets and garden games away from the cooking area.
- After cooking, make sure the barbecue is cool before moving it.
- Empty ashes onto bare garden soil, not into dustbins or wheelie bins. If they’re hot, they can melt the plastic and cause a fire.
- Make sure your barbecue is well away from sheds, fences, trees, shrubs or garden waste.
- In the countryside or public park areas, only use disposable barbecues where there are specially designated areas and carefully follow the safety guidance.
- Enjoy yourself, but don’t drink too much alcohol if you are in charge of the barbecue.
- Never use petrol or paraffin to start or revive your barbecue; use only recognised lighters or starter fuels on cold coals.
Joy for Wynne Evans as he gets engaged after months of hell following Strictly drama
STRICTLY star Wynne Evans is to marry his girlfriend after proposing on holiday in Morocco.
The opera singer, 53, got down on one knee in Marrakesh on Saturday to propose to Liz Brookes who has loyally stood by him following his axing by the BBC.


The happy couple are expected to wed next year.
Wynne shared snaps of the happy occasion and told fans: “Big news… I got engaged!
“This weekend in Morocco, somewhere between the couscous, the camels, and me limping around the souks like a man with no spatial awareness, I proposed to Liz — and she said yes! (No take-backs, I’ve checked.)
“She’s clever, she’s kind, she’s got excellent taste in men. Absolutely no idea how I pulled that off, but here we are!
“Feeling very lucky, very happy, and just a tiny bit smug.”
A source told The Sun: “It has been a tumultuous six months for Wynne but Liz has been his absolute rock throughout.
“Finally some wonderful news for Wynne and his inner circle to celibate and everyone is chuffed for them both.
“He secretly bought an engagement ring and squirrelled it away for their holiday, and then popped the question over champagne.
“Liz has been incredible over the past few months, supporting him through thick and thin, and had his back throughout, but obviously Wynne is telling everyone she’s a lucky girl!” Liz, 50, who runs her own successful events company in Cardiff, met the star at one of her do’s in Wales.
He asked her out for a coffee the next day, and they have been together for the past 18 months.
News of the engagement comes after the BBC confirmed it would not be renewing the Go Compare frontman’s rolling contract.
It followed a protracted internal investigation into claims he used an inappropriate sexual term at the official photocall of the Strictly tour in January.
Wynne was previously married to wife of 16 years, Tanwen, with whom he has two kids.



They divorced in 2016 which, he later revealed, saw his mental health plummet and left him feeling suicidal.
Wynne, who was partnered with Katya Jones on Strictly, was seen being cheered on by Liz in the audience.
Speaking about his disappointment about being dropped by the Beeb, the 2023 Celebrity Masterchef winner said: “My beloved Wynners, From the very depths of my heart — thank you.
“These past few months, your love has been the light in my darkest days. Every message, every word of encouragement, every moment you stood by me has carried me through more than you could ever know.
“It breaks my heart to say the BBC has decided not to renew my contract so I won’t be returning to my radio show. I’m gutted.”
Wynne has now copyrighted his name and will be launching his own radio show.

Wynne Evans' Strictly scandals

‘Grope’
Wynne encountered a backlash after his Strictly pro partner Katya was filmed removing his hand from her waist.
Fans insisted she looked uncomfortable as she moved it away – but Katya later insisted there was no problem.
In joke
They then sparked further fury, when she was seen refusing to high-five the Opera singer.
The duo were quick to issue a video apology and insisted it was all an innocent “inside joke”.
Crude joke
Wynne came under fire for allegedly telling a “crude” joke to one of the show’s make-up artists.
Insiders claim the opera star made a joke that the folds of his double chin “looked like a vagina”.
A source said: “It was a bit of a vulgar dad joke.”
Vile comment
Wynne was recorded suggesting a three-way sex session with presenter Janette Manrara, using the term “spit roast”.
His remark came at a photocall to launch the Strictly live tour, which pro Janette, 41, is hosting.
He reportedly pulled a suggestive face at actor Jamie Borthwick as Janette moved between them — which is when Evans allegedly made the joke.
Wynne has apologised saying: “My language was inappropriate and unacceptable, for which I sincerely apologise.”
Island nation nine times larger than UK banned from World Cup as statement released
GREENLAND’S hopes of playing competitive football on the world stage were dashed when the country was told it cannot join the confederation that also represents the Caribbean.
The Arctic territory of Denmark started exploring entry to Concacaf — which covers North and Central America — three years ago.


With a route into Uefa blocked, the Confederation that also includes the sun-kissed Caribbean was seen as the only alternative for the world’s largest island, which is mostly covered with ice and has a population of just 57,000.
Incredibly the country has 5,500 registered players.
But Concacaf’s ruling committee killed off the Polar Teddy Bears’ dream at its Congress.
A statement said their membership application had been reviewed and “unanimously rejected”.
Greenland is the world’s largest island and bigger than western Europe, but 81% of its land is topped by sheet ice.
And it has never played official international football.
Although it is a sovereign territory of Denmark, its considered to be part of North America geographically.
Joining Uefa was a no-no – as European football chiefs only accept countries formally recognised by the United Nations.

Greenland have played friendlies – but they are NOT sanctioned by football’s world rulers Fifa.
And now Concacaf have declined to help the country, which is nine times larger than the UK, make the next major step forward.
The organisation said in a statement: “Based on a thorough assessment conducted by the Concacaf administration and Council, and in accordance with the Concacaf Statutes, the Member Associations reviewed the membership application submitted by the Greenlandic Football Association and unanimously rejected it.”
It comes with US President Donald Trump claiming he wants his country to take control of Greenland.
But the the ice-covered nation, as well as Denmark, insist there is no chance of that happening.
B&M has slashed the price of a GIANT bar of Dairy Milk to just £1

B&M has slashed the price of massive Dairy Milk chocolate bars to just £1.
The budget retailer has reduced the price of the Cadbury fan favourite by a whopping 66 per cent.

Shoppers will be able to bag a bargain at the budget retailer, taking home the 850g chocolate bar for £2 less than usual.
The chocolate bars of plain Dairy Milk were once selling in B&M stores for £3.
Now shoppers will be able to get their hands on the massive chocolate block at a discounted price.
The bargain is subject to availability with stores that don’t usually stock the product not selling it at the discounted rate.
Cadbury is a fan favourite in the UK and is the second largest confectionary brand in the world.
The firm makes dozens of flavours of chocolate bars which are sold in stores across the UK.
Discounts and offers are often available for the bigger bars with smaller bars sometimes included in meal deals for a discounted rate.
The plain Dairy Milk chocolate bar offers no bells and whistles, just a large block of quality milk chocolate.
B&M are now offering nearly a kilogram of the British classic for just £1.
The massive discount offered by B&M will net punters a huge block of chocolate for next to nothing.
Typically 850g of Cadburys chocolate would set back shoppers anywhere between £3 and £5.
The offer can be snapped up at any B&M store as long as they have the snack in stock.
The budget retailer is known for its impressive deals and offers, regularly reducing fan favourite items by huge amounts.

The current B&M discount works out at £1.17 per kilogram of chocolate.
The offer is currently active but no indication of when it will end has been given.
It could finish any moment so sweet tooth shoppers better be quick.
B&M often slashes the price of big name brands, with some items getting even cheaper if the B&M app is used.
The B&M app lets shoppers scan items while they are shopping to discover discounts and offers not listed on shelves.
How to save money on chocolate

We all love a bit of chocolate from now and then, but you don't have to break the bank buying your favourite bar.
Consumer reporter Sam Walker reveals how to cut costs…
Go own brand – if you’re not too fussed about flavour and just want to supplant your chocolate cravings, you’ll save by going for the supermarket’s own brand bars.
Shop around – if you’ve spotted your favourite variety at the supermarket, make sure you check if it’s cheaper elsewhere.
Websites like Trolley.co.uk let you compare prices on products across all the major chains to see if you’re getting the best deal.
Look out for yellow stickers – supermarket staff put yellow, and sometimes orange and red, stickers on to products to show they’ve been reduced.
They usually do this if the product is coming to the end of its best-before date or the packaging is slightly damaged.
Buy bigger bars – most of the time, but not always, chocolate is cheaper per 100g the larger the bar.
So if you’ve got the appetite, and you were going to buy a hefty amount of chocolate anyway, you might as well go bigger.
‘I might get on before Ivan Toney’ jokes ITV commentator Lee Dixon as Saudi star cuts frustrated figure on England bench
IVAN TONEY looked glum as he watched on from the bench as England lost to Senegal.
The striker was recalled to the squad by Thomas Tuchel but played for just eight minutes including stoppage time across matches against Andorra and Senegal.


And he looked stunned as he sat on the substitutes’ bench in the 70th minute as Noni Madueke prepared to come on.
ITV commentator Lee Dixon joked: “I might get on before Toney.”
England trailed 2-1 at the time and Tuchel had already brought on Morgan Rogers and Morgan Gibbs-White ahead of Toney.
The Al-Ahli striker had to wait until the 88th minute to try and impact the match, as fellow subs Madueke and Jude Bellingham had failed to do so.
Bellingham did find the net from close range but the goal was disallowed because a handball from Levi Colwill in the build-up, with Senegal going on to win 3-1.
Tuchel was asked after the match about his decision to leave Toney on the bench until the final few minutes.
He said: “First of all it was more than three minutes.
“Second of all I think that Ivan is a specialist for exactly these situations.

“We created a lot of chances with Morgan Gibbs-White, with Ebs [Eberechi Eze], with Morgan Rodgers, and with Jude in fluid positions.
“I think Ivan is strongest when we have a phase where we have a lot of balls in the box and that was the case so after 80minutes we got him ready.
“Then we scored and they took the goal away and it took a little while longer than we wanted but that’s what he can give – presence in the box and a goal later in the match.”
Ian Wright and Roy Keane showed sympathy after the match, suggesting he ought to have been brought on earlier.
Wright told ITV: “He’s seen him all week and didn’t look to put him on until late. I don’t know what he has seen in training that he may not like up to this point.
“I was very surprised not to see him come on… I would be disappointed if I was him.”
And Keane added: “If you’re Toney and you’re getting three, four, five minutes, you’re fuming.”
Jude Bellingham in incredible meltdown after England lose to Senegal as he boots water cooler and chases assistant ref
JUDE BELLNGHAM launched into an incredible meltdown on the pitch immediately after England’s embarrassing 3-1 defeat to Senegal.
The 22-year-old midfielder failed to keep his emotions in check following the full-time whistle as England suffered their first loss to an African nation.



A 93rd-minute punisher from Cheikh Sabaly put the final nail in England‘s coffin as they suffered a first defeat under manager Thomas Tuchel.
Substitute Bellingham thought he had drawn England level at 2-2 in the 83rd minute, but the goal was controversially disallowed for a handball by Levi Colwill.
The debatable decision late in the game left England stars and Tuchel fuming, as Colwill didn’t appear to deliberately touch the ball.
Regardless, England didn’t do enough to win and were lucky that the match was a friendly, with Tuchel still undefeated in the World Cup qualifiers.
But Bellingham was so frustrated that he kicked the ball into the air as referee Stephanie Frappart blew the whistle at the City Ground.
The Real Madrid star then booted a water cooler near the technical area, before racing after the assistant referee.
Captain Harry Kane was ultimately forced to push the former Birmingham player onto the pitch to calm the situation down.
But former Bundesliga ace wasn’t the only one irritated with the decision, with Kane hinting that the officials “didn’t know the rules”.

Tuchel also confronted Frappart and her team of officials in the middle of the pitch at full-time.
Bellingham, however, quickly appeared to calm down and heartwarmingly gifted his shirt to a young fan before heading down the tunnel.
But the talented midfielder does have history of taking his frustrations out on pitch-side objects after defeats.
He memorably kicked the VAR monitor in frustration after Real Madrid‘s last-gasp defeat to Valencia in April.
Bellingham was named on the bench for England’s first friendly under Tuchel, but was introduced with 19 minutes remaining as England found themselves 2-1 behind.
Kane had opened the scoring for the Three Lions early on, before Ismaila Sarr and Habib Diarra netted to turn the game on its head.
While the referee was reviewing Bellingham’s goal on the VAR screen, former Arsenal right-back Lee Dixon told ITV: “That’s completely not a deliberate handball.
“The twisting of his arm is because he is challenging for the ball. I don’t agree with that decision.”
Ian Wright later added: “For them to disallow the goal, it’s crazy.”
Ed Miliband accused of ‘rewriting history’ after claiming winter fuel axe was to stop millionaires cashing in
ED Miliband was accused of “rewriting history” yesterday after he claimed scrapping winter fuel was about stopping millionaires getting payments.
The bungling Net Zero Secretary tried to justify Labour’s original decision to strip the handout by suggesting the pensioners who would’ve missed out were all rich.


But some of them earned as little as £12,000 per year.
Mr Miliband said: “The principal question was, the richest in our society, should they get the winter fuel payment, should millionaires, should the richest get the winter fuel payment?
“I think the answer for most people to that is no.”
The Net Zero Secretary’s desperate bid to explain scrapping winter fuel payments – before the decision was partially reversed – was blasted by senior Tories, who accused him of spouting a “pack of lies”.
Shadow Energy Secretary Andrew Bowie told The Sun: “Red Ed is even more out of touch than we thought if he thinks people will believe this pack of lies.
“The economy is worse off than when they found it – taxes higher, unemployment higher and living standards lower.
“He is just trying to rewrite history to try and cover up Labour’s embarrassing U-turn.”
Meanwhile, a flagship Net Zero plan has been spared ahead of next week’s spending review — to opponents’ dismay.
Energy Secretary Ed Miliband has ensured his £13billion warm homes scheme will not be downgraded after negotiations with the Treasury.
Chancellor Rachel Reeves decided not to cut the cash which allows heating upgrades through better insulation, solar panels and heat pumps.
Jobs tax has done serious damage – Rachel Reeves MUST reverse some of it in today’s Spending Review
Taking the rise
THE verdict is in on the Jobs Tax — and it’s not good news.
In the first set of figures since the £25billion National Insurance whammy on employers kicked in, unemployment now stands at 4.6 per cent.

Estimates for last month show 109,000 workers wiped from company pay-rolls — the biggest monthly drop since Covid.
Vacancies are also at their lowest since the pandemic.
The ONS bleakly warns: “Some firms may be holding back from recruiting new workers or replacing people when they move on.”
Reality has now bitten, making Sir Keir Starmer’s claims of having fixed the economy look distinctly shaky.
The NI tax rise was always going to be a massive brake on the economy.
If you make it more expensive for employers to employ people they will have to stop doing it.
The costs to businesses from Angela Rayner’s forthcoming Employment Rights Bill could make it worse.
Today’s Spending Review is a chance for the Chancellor to reverse some of the damage.
By unveiling some measures proving growth really is her number one priority.
China crisis
WHY are ministers being so complacent about the obvious threats posed by China’s planned super embassy?
Spooks and MPs are worried about a nest of hostile spies being built in London — close to three major data centres linked by cables carrying highly sensitive financial information.
The US also has grave doubts about the wisdom of handing Beijing such a golden chance to cause havoc in a close ally’s capital.
Its chief concern is the Chinese getting hold of secret shared information.
Given that China already runs secret police stations targeting dissidents in Britain, such fears are justified.
Could the reason for ministers being so relaxed is that it’s already a done deal in return for the paltry £600million trade agreement signed in January?
If so, is that really worth such an enormous risk to national security?
Zero faith
TAXED to the hilt, worried about losing their jobs and struggling to pay soaring bills, it’s no wonder that so many skint Brits are fed up with Net Zero.
Forty per cent now feel actively worse off as a result of the dash to 2050, while just a fifth believe it has led to positive change.
Politicians must understand the current harsh economic reality for so many hard-working families.
Net Zero remains a hugely expensive luxury the country — and ordinary folk — simply can’t afford.
Blow for Labour as more voters think Net Zero has made them worse off than improved living standards, damning poll finds
MORE voters think Net Zero has made them worse off rather than improving living standards, polling shows.
Some 38 per cent say they have been negatively affected by Sir Keir Starmer’s green rules.

Just 21 per cent think their lives have improved, with 34 per cent saying it has not made a difference, Merlin Strategies found.
In a blow to the PM, a fifth of Labour supporters say their lives are worse.
Reform and Tory voters are the most likely to say Net Zero has lowered their living standards.
Among the policies are a ban on new petrol and diesel car sales and plans to decarbonise the electricity grid but critics say this will lead to huge bills.
Lawrence Newport, of the Looking For Growth think tank, said: “If the Government doesn’t start to secure our energy grid, voters will punish them.”
The Department for Net Zero said: “We’ll reach Net Zero in a way that treads lightly on people’s lives.”
