Major supermarket to give thousands of workers ANOTHER pay rise
ALDI has raised the stakes in the supermarket pay battle by handing its British workers another pay rise — a third in 12 months. Some 28,000 store staff will see their wages rise to a minimum of £11.40 per hour from the beginning of July, with London workers seeing pay climb to £12.85 an hour. The new rate is more than 13 per cent higher than it was a year ago and follows a January hike to £11 an hour. It will make the German chain’s workers the highest-paid supermarket staff in the UK. Aldi’s UK and Ireland boss Giles Hurley said: “We believe our colleagues are the best in the sector and we are committed to ensuring they are also the best paid.” The company’s 7,000 warehouse workers were handed pay increases of up to 20 per cent earlier this year.

It’s Tobler-GONE: First Toblerone bars go on sale without iconic Matterhorn image to comply with Swiss law
Iconic chocolate brand Toblerone is facing fury after new packs went on sale stripped of the sweet's Matterhorn mountain peak image. Confectioners Modelez International say they have had to change the design to avoid breaching new Swiss laws restricting the use of imagery that evokes the country's likeness. The company will be limited in the symbolism they can use as they move some of their production from Switzerland to Slovakia by the end of the year. To comply with Swiss laws, the distinctive Matterhorn peak has been removed from the packet and replaced with a generic mountain top. The new box shows a modernised logo with a generic mountain and 'established in Switzerland' rather than 'Swiss milk chocolate' and 'of Switzerland' The old Toblerone logo featuring the iconic Matterhorn mountain, located in the Swiss Alps Images scrutinised by customers online showed that the brand also made some other significant changes.

The best and worst things about life in France according to a British ex-pat
WHEN I moved to France 18 months ago, I didn't think I'd experience a culture shock but I was wrong. I soon realised that life in France was more different than I'd anticipated, as I began a fruitless quest for Marmite in the supermarket. Generally, I found mealtimes to be a dizzying affair of brand-new do's and don'ts. A typical French breakfast doesn’t keep a flea satisfied for 30 minutes and my French friends look positively disgusted whenever I tuck into a hearty bowl of porridge in the morning. Lunch, however, is an institution. Forget scoffing a sarnie at your desk, most people take at least an hour for their lunch break with multiple courses.
