FOOTBALL tough guy John Terry is going all Chelsea Flower Show — by growing a “wildlife corridor” with 140 varieties of exotic plants and trees. The former Blues skipper and England defender, 41, has chosen ones with tongue-twisting Latin names such as Carpinus betulus, Lamium maculatum ‘White Nancy’ and Ligustrum japonicum ‘Superbum’. Some — including Cornus kousa, Cercis canadensis and Pyrus calleryana — sound more like colleagues from the multi-national line-ups at Stamford Bridge, where banners still hail him as “Captain, Leader, Legend”. Terry has also promised to build a “nature pond” as part of a £20million housing project that will see the demolition of a £4.5million mansion he owns. He wants to replace it with two homes, each worth around £10million, on the exclusive Crown Estate in Oxshott, Surrey. A number of trees will have to be felled and to comply with strict planning conditions, amid neighbours’ objections, he must create a “biodiversity mitigation … [Read more...] about John Terry is growing exotic ‘wildlife corridor’ in £20m housing project after demolishing £4.5m mansion

A FEMALE prison officer is facing a police probe over a jail cell sex tape. The woman, in her 30s, was filmed performing a sex act on a male lag while in her uniform. It was shared among cons on illegal mobiles at the category-B prison. A jail source said: “The identity of the prisoner is unclear, but the officer is readily identifiable. “It’s graphic. If it did happen on prison property with a serving prisoner, it would amount to criminal misconduct.” The woman is thought to have said it took place at a private address. The Prison Service said a member of staff at HMP Wandsworth , in South West London, had been suspended.

FOUR major supermarkets are in competition to win your delivery business. Tesco, Sainsbury’s, Asda and Morrisons are all offering delivery passes so customers who order online don’t have to pay for each individual drop-off of groceries to their door. Plus, if you don’t save money compared to the cost of individual deliveries, these supermarket giants will all refund you in vouchers. But you’ll always have to spend at least £40 or there are extra charges. Meanwhile, if you choose to shop with Iceland, you don’t need a delivery pass to guarantee a free next-day delivery. Here’s where to get the best value. TESCO : A pass costs £47.94 for six months, which is £1.84 per delivery if you shop weekly. Without the pass you pay between £2.50 and £7 per delivery. SAINSBURY’S : An anytime delivery pass is £40 for six months, or £80 for a year. A midweek (Tuesday to Thursday) pass is £40 a year. It works out at £1.54 for one delivery a week, or 77p if you go for the midweek … [Read more...] about Which supermarket offers free next-day delivery and which have the cheapest delivery passes?

BOOKINGS of stag, hen and other big parties surge at this time of year as people start planning future fun. If you are in charge of a large bash or getaway, here is how to maximise your savings . . . TRIM YOUR TRAVEL : With ­petrol prices creeping up almost daily, car-pooling will cut your costs as a group. However, National Rail’s GroupSave is also worth checking. It gives groups of three to nine adults a third off off-peak train travel and there is no minimum journey limit. Currently, you can also save up to 20 per cent on LNER Advance tickets for group bookings of between three and nine people until May 13. BREAK UP THE BREAK : Staying at hotels can ramp up the cost of your trip, with little extras such as drinks, multiple rooms and breakfast adding up. But breaking up your holiday can help. For example, book a spa day instead of an overnight spa break, then rent a nearby airbnb or cottage for the group. It nearly always works out cheaper. Plus, you can each bring … [Read more...] about Five cash-saving tips to maximise savings when booking a getaway

A HIKER climbed a 3,100ft British mountain — going from ice at the bottom to sunbathing on the summit. Mark Handford, 54, set out to tackle Y Garn in Snowdonia in woolly hat, gloves and thermals. It was just above freezing until he walked through the cloud layer into warmth at 2,500ft — and by the time he got to the top it was 21C, some 6C hotter than Majorca . Surprised Mark was by then down to his shorts and a T-shirt and in need of sun cream. He had set out expecting a “temperature inversion” after checking the weather forecast but was taken aback by its magnitude. The phenomenon occurs when air sinks, drying and warming as it does so. As warm air is lighter, it tends to “float” above cooler air, acting like a lid to trap it. Mark, director of Snowdonia Adventures in North Wales, said: “Going up it was cold — around 2C — and damp but as soon as we popped out at cloud level it was 17 degrees. We stopped on the north east slopes because it was baking. … [Read more...] about Hiker climbs 3,100ft British mountain — going from ice at bottom to sunbathing in 21c heat on summit

HORDES of people flocked to Mount Snowdon’s summit despite the Welsh Government urging people to avoid all unnecessary travel. The Welsh mountain , one of the country’s top tourist destinations, is popular because it can be walked on foot without specialist climbing gear. Footage taken on Saturday appears to show dozens of people bunched up together on the path leading to the mountain’s summit. Regular walkers said they were shocked and said they had never seen Snowdon so busy. It has prompted concerns that Snowdonia National Park Authority will come under pressure to close the mountain for a second time this year. Visit Snowdonia, which manages the national park for the Welsh government, told people to keep away from busy places on the weekend. Most read in News SEE YOU IN COURT 'my child!'

PRINCE Harry is under pressure to end his £18million Spotify deal after the streaming giant was accused of promoting anti-vaxxer content. Harry, 37, is set to release podcasts on the same platform as Covid jab sceptic Joe Rogan. Yet just four months ago the Duke of Sussex hit out at news and social media outlets for “peddling lies” about vaccines. He claimed the only way to “overcome” Covid-19 was to “break the system” of misinformation. The Joe Rogan Experience is Spotify’s most listened to podcast — but the American has suggested young people don’t need the Covid vaccine. Last night a source said of Harry: “Refusing to cut ties with Spotify after they’ve aired anti-vaxxer material is incredibly two-faced. “If he was that principled, and meant what he said, he’d cut ties, even if at a personal financial cost.” Rock veteran Neil Young, 76, has demanded that Spotify — which has 172million subscribers — withdraw all his music over its ties to Rogan, 54. … [Read more...] about Prince Harry blasted for refusing to terminate £18m Spotify deal over Joe Rogan’s anti-vaccine views

JEREMY CLARKSON now has something in common with Paul Hollywood – other than being a fellow petrolhead. The former Top Gear host followed the baker’s lead by having his catchphrase “I Did A Thing”, from hit series Clarkson’s Farm , officially trademarked. It comes after Love Productions, maker of The Great British Bake Off, did likewise with “the Hollywood handshake”, which show judge Paul gives to contestants who do well. They intend to slap the saying over merchandise and make sure nobody else profits from the saying. Jeremy now wants to do the same, putting his slogan on items and selling them at his Cotswold farm, Curdle Hill. A source said: “Jeremy is aware his catchphrase has taken off since he started his Amazon farm show, which has picked up a cult following. “He sees it as a bit of an asset and feels, ‘why allow other people to financially benefit from it when he can?’. "The wheels are now in motion so it won’t be long until his own official merch comes … [Read more...] about Jeremy Clarkson trademarks catchphrase ‘I Did A Thing’ so he can bring out range of mugs and hats
