Known for selling luxury groceries, residents of Hale Barns, Cheshire, will now have to go elsewhere to buy their luxury food.

Booths today announced the closure of the branch after nine years serving the village – and locals are distraught.

Although not confirmed, it is believed that an ASDA will replace the store.

Booths has now commenced a consultation process with a view to transferring the lease to ASDA.

“I am terribly sad about this. I have worked for Booths Hale Barns from the beginning.

“I met some great colleagues and customers and the management were brilliant.

“Sadly I had to retire due to ill health. It's such a shame to see Booths leave Hale Barns. I wish all my former colleagues the very best,” wrote one.

Another added: “I'm devastated to hear this news, Booths is a fantastic store on my doorstep, I use it regularly and a loyal customer.”

A third offered: “Stripped! Asda is not the right company to take over this site and I don't expect them to do any better in terms of traffic, in fact I would expect it to be less.”

The store is not “profitable under the Booths model” due to the “challenges of significantly increasing operating costs”, a Booths spokesperson said.

They added: “It is expected that all jobs will be protected and transferred to ASDA.

“Closing any store is a very difficult decision and is not a reflection of the hard work and dedication of our team at Hale Barns, or of the wider Booths business.

“Booths would like to thank all colleagues and customers for their support since the store opened over 8 years ago.
“We would also like to provide assurance that we have no plans to exit our other stores.”

“We would also like to provide assurance that we have no plans to exit our other stores.”

No closing date has yet been confirmed by Booths, although Altrincham Today understands it could be as early as April.

It comes as Morrisons tries to win back shoppers from German discounters by aligning prices on more than 200 products.

From Monday, items on shelves will be marked at the same price or lower as Lidl and Aldi.

It comes after Asda also recently made a similar move, becoming the first chain to promise to rival both discount supermarkets.

Other retail giants, such as Tesco and Sainsbury's, offer a unique Aldi promise.

Morrisons' price match promise will be tested against rivals twice a week.

Roman Kemp fought back tears as he announced he was quitting his Capital Breakfast show on Monday morning.

After a decade of presenting for the channel, the 31-year-old radio presenter revealed his last show will be on March 28 as he delivered an emotional speech.

When talking about how much Capital has meant to him, Roman seemed overcome with emotion as he admitted that this wasn't a decision he ever expected.

He explained, “I have a little announcement, and it's really weird to say it out loud. Really strange. If I'm being completely honest, I have no idea how to start this.

“I'm just going to come out and say it. This will be my last kind of six weeks with capital, which is weird to say.

Shaking away his emotions, he continued, “The last eight and a half years of my life have been so incredible to be a part of this machine, right, it's been the funniest, the saddest, and the most downright wild time to to be part of Capital and the Global family. .

'When you take on a job of this magnitude, you never think that one day there will come a time when you have to say goodbye. You never think that day will come.

“What I can tell you is that I'm not saying goodbye right now, I'm not leaving the show today and that's it, but it's not far away.

'It will happen and that farewell will come in five to six weeks. It's not a decision made overnight either, it's huge, I haven't found it easy at all.'

Roman lost his best friend and global radio producer Joe Lyons to suicide in August 2020, and the star alluded to the tragedy while referring to both his “best times” and “absolute lowest times.”

“Capital is my family, you as the amazing listeners you have been, you have been with me through my best times and my absolute lowest… Capital and Global have helped change me.

“I was 22 years old when I first joined Capital and it shaped me into the man I am today, that's all I know. But I know this is the right time to leave and this is the right time to move on.”

Jordan North is being tipped to replace Roman after it was confirmed he would be leaving his own spot on Radio One after ten years on air.

It was announced on Friday that the former I'm A Celeb star is quitting Radio One's legendary Going Home show and will be replaced by Jamie Laing35, which will take its place – from Monday to Thursday, from 3:30 PM to 6:00 PM – next to Vick Hope.

The source said: 'Jordan is moving to Capital FM to replace Roman and he couldn't be more excited. It's absolutely huge for him and although it's difficult to leave the BBC, he's excited to get to work with Capital.

“Jordan's decision was a tough pill to swallow for the BBC, but there was nothing they could do to change his mind.”

Capital has yet to officially confirm who the new host will be.

James Rea, Chief Broadcasting and Content Officer at Global, said: “Roman has been a first-class presenter and it has been fantastic to have him on the team.

“I would like to thank him for the incredible work he has done at Capital over the past decade. We look forward to announcing the new Capital Breakfast soon.”

Roman joined Capital in 2014 before hosting the prestigious The Capital Evening Show in 2016.

In 2017 he moved to Capital Breakfast before appearing nationally on the show in 2019.

He continued: “You're listening, and the people in this room, everyone in this room, my production team, Sian and Chris, Sonny who's done it in the past and Vick Hope who's done it in the past. It's everyone.

“The next few weeks, as I approach the end of my time here at Capital, will be so tough. I love this place so much, I love it. I love the station, I love everything about it, Capital is my family.

'And I also love the connection that you and I, the listeners, have built together. It is changed. I know it started because I was just Martin Kemp's son. I hope you can call me your friend now.”

As Capital shared the news on their Instagram, Roman jokingly replied: “I only got the job because of his dad, good riddance I say.”

Roman added: 'I have loved every moment of my time at Capital. The last 10 years have been amazing and hosting the legendary Capital Breakfast is the best job ever.

'But after almost seven years of early alarm, I'm looking forward to a few late sleepers and it's time to pass the baton!

'It has been a privilege and an honor to wake up millions of people every day. It's the best job in radio and I will miss our listeners and the team at Global Lots.

'Whoever the next presenter of Capital Breakfast is, they are in for the most incredible ride.'

Founder and Executive President of Global, Ashley Tabor-King CBE, said: “Roman, it has been a pleasure. You have been a fantastic host and administrator of one of the biggest shows on British radio, the Capital Breakfast Show.

“I have loved watching you grow and grow as a broadcaster and as a person, and I wish you all the best for whatever comes next.”

Roman also took to his social media to issue his own statement, adding: “When I started doing this show I was told to remember it's like a table at the pub with your friends and one chair is empty so the listener can come and join the show. laughs…

“Well, it's not time for me to give my seat at the table to someone else.”

As fans and friends rushed to send their love to the star, he received an outpouring of well wishes.

Former Capital host Sonny Jay wrote: “Mate my best (and worst) memories are with you on this show. Congratulations on a great run. Thanks for the ride on your coattails, love ya bud x'.

Vick Hope wrote: 'Great service my friend Now enjoy the lie in xxxxx' and Rochelle Humes commented: 'You kept that seat warm in the best way! Congratulations my friend'.

Meanwhile, Roman's I'm A Celebrity pal Jacqueline Jossa gushed: 'Oh. Roman! You will be missed! I can't wait to see what you do next. I know it's going to be HUGE.”

Roman Kemp will reportedly leave Capital Radio after seven years co-hosting the station's breakfast show with Chris Stark and Siân Welby.

It is claimed that Jordan North will replace Roman, who was rumored to be leaving the show in October last year after leaving his own spot on Radio One after a decade on air.

Apprentice star Claude Littner has lost his place on the show after suffering injuries in a cycling accident three years ago.

The businessman, 74, was previously an adviser to Lord Sugar alongside Karren Brady before being replaced by series one winner Tim Campbell.

However, Claude admitted it was 'not his decision' whether he returned to the boardroom, informing his followers that he has now 'fully recovered'.

It's not all bad news for Claude's fans, as the show favorite revealed he will return for the interview phase of the reality TV competition.

Claude made the confession during a conversation with a fan on I miss you on the show!'

He then replied, “Honestly, that's not my decision. I have fully recovered. Thank you.'

However, Claude revealed that he would return to The Apprentice for the interviews in episode 11, to question the remaining candidates about the feasibility of their business plans.

Responding to concerned fans on X, formerly known as Twitter, Claude confirmed, “I will,” when asked if he would return for the interviews.

He told another viewer that he would be back for: “Episode 11. Interviews.”

Upon his departure, Claude insisted that he would pay close attention to the candidates' antics from his couch rather than the boardroom.

He said in a statement: 'While I'm disappointed that I won't be out on the road on duties or in the boardroom for this upcoming series, I will certainly remain glued to the action from my sofa.'

Claude's replacement Tim – who was the first ever winner of the business reality competition almost 17 years ago – previously admitted he was stunned when his old mentor, Lord Alan Sugar, asked him to join the show – and he believed not that the offer was like that. initially authentic.

During an interview with Radio Times magazine, he recalled thinking: 'Is this a joke? I thought people with cameras were going to rush in and say, “I got you!” I thought, 'Why is he calling?' When he explained it, I said, “Are you serious?” It was angry.”

Having appeared on The Apprentice since 2015, viewers were saddened and concerned when Claude did not appear in the season's debut episode.

In even more positive news, Claude expressed the possibility that he could return fully for the 2025 season.

One fan tweeted: “Missing ClaudeLittner as a student again this year! Hoping he would come back…' to which Claude replied, 'Maybe next year. ''No dispersion''.'

At the start of the 2022 series, Claude was replaced by Tim at the last minute, with Sir Alan explaining to the candidates, “You may be wondering why this gentleman is here,” before pointing to Tim.

'Unfortunately Claude is not doing well and Tim will be assisting me for the next eleven weeks.'

Claude suffered serious injuries in a freak e-bike accident in April 2021. He underwent nine operations to save his leg and had to learn to walk again after the incident near his home in London.

As a result, Claude missed the final two seasons of The Apprentice as he focused on recovery. He briefly returned for a single episode in 2023, before Tim intervened again.

Last year Claude appeared on Good Morning Britain and gave a health update, saying: 'I'm doing wonderfully, thank you. I am very grateful to the ambulance crew for looking after me and of course to the surgeons at St Mary's who put me back together.

'It was a freak accident. I think someone was paying attention to me, but if someone paid more attention to me, I wouldn't have had the accident. I was lucky that the ambulance was behind me.

“I was just messing around, I must not have been driving faster than 10 kilometers per hour on a two-track road like that.”

'Before I knew it, I was sitting on the left side of the street, my bike was in the middle of the road and I didn't know what was happening.

'I suspect I drove into a pothole or something like that, but I must have been unconscious at the time of impact because before I knew it I was on the ground.'

KYLE WALKER is a shocking omission from the list of fastest Premier League players this season.

The right-back has topped the charts in recent years but has been replaced by some new faces.

Four of the seven fastest players are newcomers to the Premier League, while the third fastest star Pedro Neto suffered a long-term injury last season.

Walker had recorded the fastest speed since 2020-2021 with a speed of 37.31 km/h.

But that has now been supplemented by Tottenham central defender Micky van de Ven.

That means the Dutchman has recorded the fastest speed this season, guiding Luton star Chiedozie Ogbene to first place, while the Hatters winger achieved a speed of 36.93 km/h.

Two more Prem newcomers round out the top five: Liverpool's Dominik Szoboszlai and Burnley's Dara O'Shea.

They reached speeds of 36.76km/h and 36.73km/h respectively – fractionally faster than Newcastle speedster Anthony Gordon.

Everton midfielder Amadou Onana rounds out the top seven, leaving no room for Walker.

Fans were surprised to see the miss, but weren't shocked to see Van de Ven top the list.

One fan responded, saying: “Van de Ven is the fastest I've ever seen play for Spurs – and I watched Kyle Walker for seven years. Just pray for those hammies.”

Van de Ven has impressed since joining Spurs last summer and was sorely missed after suffering a hamstring tear in the 4-1 defeat to Chelsea in November.

ANDROID owners may lose access to Google Assistant's Driving Mode, which allows users to make calls and answer messages on the go.

Users who start using the feature will see a drop-down banner warning them that the feature will disappear in February.

Google hasn't provided an exact date, so it could disappear tomorrow.

However, since the banner has only just appeared, its removal is expected to happen later this month once Android users have been properly notified.

According to Android Police, other parts of the driving mode, such as the music controls, may remain intact despite the lockdown.

The move is part of a broader, little-known plan for Google Assistant, rival to Apple's Siri.

Google Assistant lost more than a dozen features in January.

Will Google Assistant's Driving Mode be replaced?

According to a separate report from 9to5Google, Google Assistant is getting a refresh on Android Auto, which could be the company's answer to an alternative driving companion.

Android Auto brings your phone's apps to your car's display, but only works on newer, connected cars.

It provides assistance with the same tasks as Google Assistant's driving mode.

For example, you can dictate messages while following directions in Google Maps.

The new update means that Google Assistant will transcribe what you ask it to do in Android Auto in live time.

The update will be rolled out to all users in the coming weeks.

It's unclear whether Google is consciously trying to transition Android owners to Android Auto.

It's not a direct replacement, but Android owners with modern cars can use it in a similar way to Google Assistant's Driving Mode.

Phillip Schofield looked relaxed and happy as he stepped out for the first time since Dancing On Ice returned to screens.

The 61-year-old star quit presenting the show alongside his best friend Holly Willoughby following his departure from This Morning in May last year when his 'ill-advised but not illegal' affair with a younger colleague was made public.

Earlier this month, DOI returned with Holly, 42, at the helm alongside Phillip's replacement Stephen Mulhurn, 46, but it has been reported that the disgraced TV star has not tuned in as he is 'bruised' by his absence.

During his outing on Thursday, Phillip went to a local shop, which he left laughing and grinning wildly at a rare sighting of the star.

According to The Sun, a source said: 'Phil is still bruised by the whole row with Holly and the way it was played out publicly. He still can't bring himself to watch This Morning and even listening to the theme song is very triggering.

'It seems unlikely he'll be eagerly tuning in for Holly's return to TV. Phil wants to move on and live a quiet life away from the spotlight while he tries to rebuild.

“He offered his support when the terrible kidnapping news broke, but it's clear they haven't been in touch since, so he probably didn't speak to Holly prior to her return to the DOI.”

Phillip has been out of the spotlight in recent months since his affair scandal in May, which led to his departure from This Morning after more than two decades on the show.

After much speculation about his private life, his affair finally became public and he admitted he had been left 'broken and ashamed' but insisted he was not a groomer.

He said the affair “never came across” as an abuse of power because he and his lover were “buddies.” He told The Sun: “I was unprofessional once in a 41-year career. There is no excuse. No one has done anything wrong except me.”

In his first interview since leaving the broadcaster and This Morning, the 61-year-old presenter said: 'I didn't do that, I didn't [groom him].

'There are accusations of all kinds of things. It never came across that way because we became friends. I do not know. But of course I understand that there will be a mass judgment, but keeping that in mind, I have never done that before.'

Following the scandal, he also resigned from Dancing On Ice, where he hosted from 2006 to 2014, before resuming in 2018 until his departure last year.

After much speculation about his replacement, Stephen was revealed earlier this month, with viewers praising the Catchphrase presenter for his debut appearance as regular co-host alongside Holly when the 2024 series launched.

Opening the much-talked-about show, Holly told ITV viewers: 'We're off!', before asking fans to give her new co-host a warm welcome, adding: 'And can we give Stephen Mulhern a warm welcome too? to welcome!'

Fans of the show took to social media to praise the pair, with many crediting Stephen for bringing “fresh energy” and injecting “real fun” into the episode.

One person wrote on Twitter: 'Enjoyed Stephen Mulhern as presenter on #DancingOnIce alongside Holly. Brought some fresh energy to the show!'

Former King's Guards have revealed that the long bearskins worn by guardsmen are 'multifunctional' and can hide something from public view.

In letters to The Times, Michael Scott, formerly of the Scots Guards, and William McLean, formerly of the Coldstream Guards, Eyton on Severn, in Shropshire, have revealed what they used to hide under their bearskin caps.

Mr Scott recalled having to wear a pair of wet Speedos under his hat, while Mr McLean was left shocked after a fellow soldier hid an alarm clock under his bare skin.

The hats, which can be traced back to the Napoleonic Wars, were worn by every rifleman in the British and French armies to make them appear larger and more intimidating.

Members of Napoleon's Imperial Guard wore the caps to mark their high status and when British forces defeated Napoleon's at the Battle of Waterloo, they took the hats with them as trophies. Today, the use of the bearskin has been adopted by all foot protectors for ceremonial purposes.

Writing in The Times newspaper, Mr Scott revealed: 'While on King's Guard at St James's Palace, two of the three officers on duty are allowed to swim in the indoor pool at the Royal Automobile Club in Pall Mall.

'To go there, they must be well dressed in bearskin, tunic and sword. But of course it is not allowed to transport a package.'

Instead, Mr Scott said watchmen had to take their swimsuits with them and then hide “their Speedos” in their bearskin caps for the return journey, which he said could sometimes “cause problems”.

Mr McLean recalled a time when he was doing his first guard duty at the Tower of London and making his tour of the sentries in the early hours.

'It was eerily quiet, the mist drifting up from the Thames through the Traitors' Gate; “Visions of headless corpses emerging from behind a turret were in the mind,” he told The Times.

Eager to “test his fortitude,” he said, a fellow officer hid a small alarm clock in his bearskin and as he walked around the Traitor's Gate the alarm went off, startling him.

Mr McLean added: 'It was good training for a tour six months later in South Armagh, at the height of the Troubles.'

Animal rights organization PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) has been campaigning since 2002 to replace the caps' fur with a synthetic substitute, condemning the Department of Defense's alleged “support for the slaughter of Canadian black bears.”

They threatened the Ministry of Defense with legal action in succession in 2022 over replacing the King's Guards' bearskin caps with an alternative to faux fur.

The Defense Department promised to drop fur once an alternative is found, but recently said that “no faux fur meets the standards to provide an effective replacement.”

However, PETA says they have collaborated with luxury faux fur manufacturer ECOPEL to develop a suitable material that is waterproof and mimics real bear fur in both appearance and performance.

But the Ministry of Defense has claimed that 'although samples of faux fur have been submitted for testing in the past, and to the Department's knowledge, no sample of faux fur has to date been produced that meets the standards required to to provide an effective replacement for the ceremonial bear skin. capital letters.'

In a letter to PETA in November 2023, the Department of Defense equipment team defended the use of fur, saying: 'The furs used by the Department of Defense are only obtained through local Canadian suppliers with a 'Furmark' accreditation.

'This is a global certification and traceability system for natural fur that ensures animal welfare and environmental standards, and in turn guarantees the ethical sourcing and sustainability of the fur.'

But campaigners suggested the accreditation is just “yet another attempt at greenwashing”. In 2021, Respect for Animals concluded in a report: 'Furmark® – the fur industry's 'certification', traceability and labeling system – lacks transparency and credibility and fails to address the environmental impacts of the fur industry.'

Senior Campaigns Manager Kate Werner said: 'Rather than aligning with the values ​​and morals of the British public who reject fur, and following the example of the late Queen Elizabeth when she refused to buy fur for her wardrobe, the Ministry is closing of Defense adheres. with an accreditation system that attempts to greenwash and justify the slaughter of majestic bears.

“PETA urges the Department of Defense to end its complicity in the bear slaughter and fully evaluate the counterfeit bear fur so it can be quickly put into use.”

In October 2023, the group created 498 cutouts depicting the Canadian black bears that have been killed since PETA and ECOPEL made their faux fur offering in 2017.

A 2022 poll found that three-quarters of voters considered bearskin hats – which have cost taxpayers around £1 million since 2015 – a 'poor use of public money', with each cap costing £1,710.
