Pizza Express marks 60 years with 33p pizzas – here's how to get yours
Pizza Express has been serving doughy delights to the British public for 60 years, and, to celebrate, it's offering a very tasty deal – rolling back its prices to match those seen at the pizzeria in the Sixties when the brand first launched.
The high street staple first opened its doors in 1965, when a pizza would set you back mere pennies. If you've ever had a grandparent smugly recall how much a pint cost back in their day, you'll appreciate the scale of this price drop.
This new deal includes some of Pizza Express's classics that are still among the most popular dishes served today. As part of the anniversary offer, a standard margherita will set you back just 33p, the la reine 49p, the American 45p, and the American hot just 50p.
So, what's the catch? The deal is only available for one hour – between 5pm and 6pm on Thursday 27 March. To avoid disappointment, booking a table in advance is highly recommended. Fortunately, there's no need for fiddly sign-ups or lengthy voucher codes – you simply need to show up.
That's 60 minutes of savings to celebrate 60 years of fluffy dough balls, sloppy Giuseppes, crispy Romana bases, and enough garlic butter to fill the Thames. Whether you're a loyal Pizza Express fan or just fancy a bargain bite, this is one deal you don't want to miss.

‘Beer-proof parka' launched for Oasis fans to avoid a soaking at gigs this summer
Oasis fans will be drenched by a whopping 2,219,458 pints of beer this summer at the long-awaited reunion tour, enough to fill up a 25-metre swimming pool over one and a half times. The research found that fans are expected to buy 8,667,600 pints during the Oasis reunion tour in the UK, with a quarter (25%) of those to be thrown in the air in celebration. That means an equivalent of £16,587,187.61 worth of beer will be lost to enthusiastic fans at the Oasis sell-out gigs this year. The results were uncovered by statisticians who pored over new original consumer research of 2,000 British adults to determine just how many pints are expected to be spilt in excitement at the iconic reunion this year. To help protect fans from these celebratory beer spills, Radio X have launched a range of special 'beer-proof parkas' perfect for gig-goers this summer. A pint thrown in the air in celebration is a staple of British summertime, often seen during World Cups, European championships and gigs. Radio X Drive presenter Johnny Vaughan 'dry-tested' the packable- parkas outside a London pub, ensuring they are set to withstand any incoming liquids. Over three-quarters (77%) of fans polled said the Oasis reunion is one of the most exciting things to ever happen to them, with 37% saying the opportunity to see the band again would be just as, or more, memorable than their wedding day. Definitely Maybe is the nation's favourite Oasis album, taking 41% of the vote. Although Oasis are only performing their former hits this summer, 88% of fans would love to see the Gallaghers make new music. Not even the great British weather will put fans off, with 77% saying they'd watch Oasis perform come rain or shine. In fact, they'd be willing to stand in a downpour for an average of 9 hours just to see the Gallaghers reunite live. Matt Deverson, Managing Editor of Radio X said: 'We've created limited edition Radio X packable parkas to keep you beer-proofed and looking good during this summer of live music - including the biggest reunion gig in history! Because when pints start flying, we want to make sure you're not wearing them." The limited edition run of 250 beer-proof parkas from Radio X are on sale at the Radio X store for £28, with proceeds going to Radio X's charity Global's Make Some Noise.

Ex-Celtic boss Neil Lennon sets lofty Dunfermline ambition
The former Celtic captain and manager was recently confirmed as the Pars manager on a permanent basis after taking over temporarily towards the end of last season, and keeping them in the Championship. It was a move that raised eyebrows at first, especially with his recent jobs being at some of the biggest clubs in Romania and Cyprus and also with the Hoops and Hibs on his CV. But Lennon is encouraged by the ambition being showing at East End Park and is matching that himself with the aim of competing in continental competition for the first time in eight years. "The ultimate ambition for us all is to try and get promotion and get back into the European picture," he told BBC Scotland. Read more: Evidence of the smart improvements Brendan Rodgers is making at Celtic O'Riley 'not completely happy' at Brighton as ex-Celtic player makes feelings known "It's a long way off, but you've got to have ambition, you've got to have targets. "I'm not saying we're going to do it in one year, but hopefully two. We can sort of see the signs that we're going in the right direction." The 53-year-old has explained how owner and American based entrepreneur James Bord had made him feel wanted ahead of taking the decision to stay on. "I think we had in one week, about seven phone calls where he convinced me to come, and I liked that," Lennon added. "He made me feel that I was their man. And I feel a sense of loyalty to him now. "I've got a good relationship with him. I like the way he works. I like his ideas on the game. It's new for me to learn as well. "Ultimately, it's about building a team that's going to be competitive in the league. It's going to get people through the door. That's what I want to do. And play a really strong brand of football."

If, like me, you are a whisky fan, you'll no doubt have seen some interesting adverts on social media promising amazing returns on investing in whisky casks. The trading of casks has been around for decades, but it's becoming more common these days as the industry faces one of the biggest boom times. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Many of these cask companies have hit the headlines for being fraudulent. One of the biggest was the case of Casey Alexander, 26, who scammed $13m [£10.4m] out of American pensions, with buyers thinking they were investing in Scotland's lucrative whisky trade. There is no official or published record of the buying and selling of whisky casks and no established legal process for the trade. According to the Scotch Whisky Association (SWA), exports of the drink in 2022 grew by 37 per cent by value to £6.2 billion. The membership organisation, regarded for its work representing the Scotch whisky sector, does not offer advice to private investors. While these fraudulent investments have been sporadically reported, it has taken the BBC's Disclosure programme to showcase just some of the people who have been scammed - as well as confronting some of the businesses doing so. The programme and podcast came out in late March. Last month whisky writer and Keeper of the Quaich Felipe Schrieberg , independent whisky broker, market analyst and consultant Mark Littler - who set up educational tool Protect your Cask last year - and one of the producers on the show, Laurence Cook, hosted an online webinar to discuss how the programme was made and gave their thoughts on what can be done. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Nomad_Soul - Mr Schrieberg said there should be little trust in any business advertising sales of whisky casks . He said: 'The way that most of these firms work is they're either selling something that doesn't exist or they're selling something that does exist, but the prospective client or investor is massively overpaying for it.' He added: 'We think that the current wave of what we're seeing is many orders of magnitude larger than the last scammer wave of 25 years ago and it's our opinion, based on what we've seen and researched, that the industry response to the problem has been fairly lacklustre.' Mr Cook, a freelance audio/visual BBC producer, said he was not sure this investigation would be as good as his former work on Donald Trump's golf course in Aberdeen, but then quickly changed his mind once he saw the scale of the problem. He said: 'Sam Poling, who's the reporter on it [the show], gave me a PowerPoint presentation, which detailed just a slither of the findings and just that little kind of amuse bouche was enough to let me know that this world of cask whisky investment fraud and the people behind it was just as mad and just as bad as as any other story that I'd worked on. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad 'But also it was ongoing. This is not a historical story, this is something that's happening right now. So there was a real public interest angle to this, which was about catching the baddies right, it was about proving that these people are doing what victims were saying that they were doing. 'I think it's probably quite important that this was made by people who could look at whisky as a commodity rather than as something kind of holy - not to characterise people in the industry too much in that direction. But it was useful to look at it as basically a criminal commodity, a thing that you can use to extract money from people.' Mr Cook said many people had been broken in the aftermath of being scammed. He said: 'We found people who hadn't told their families the true scale of the loss. We found people who had contemplated taking their own lives. 'We found people who would talk to us for background conversations, but wouldn't talk on air because of the shame that they felt beyond the financial. And I should say that that nobody that we spoke to could afford to lose money, nobody we spoke to wasn't massively affected by this. But beyond the financial, there are massive massive human costs here, which are also about a lack of trust. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad 'There are lots of people out there left in the dark as to whether their asset exists or not, or if it ever did or if it sold multiple times and it consumes people's lives. It totally occupies their mind all the time. 'It's a horrendous thing. To be burgled is the invasion of your space, but to be defrauded, there is no locale. It's just all in your head and your heart. There's a lot of people that are really broken by this.' As for what can be done? Mr Schrieberg said the Scotch Whisky Association needs to do more, adding: 'Great whisky relies on honesty, integrity and transparency. The best stories come from this, the reason we fell in love with the industry comes from this. 'The best distilleries work very much valuing these principles and all of a sudden we're seeing something that undermines it on every single one of these fronts. Because the SWA's remit is to protect the values that make Scotch whisky great and therefore keep it as a valuable product held in high esteem around the world, they should be weighing in - that's my opinion. There is a good debate to be had about that, but the industry's got to do more.' Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Independent bottler the Whisky Baron has launched a petition calling on better regulation of the Scotch whisky market. A spokesperson said: 'Despite whiskey being Scotland's national drink and a key part of the UK economy, HMRC have done nothing to protect or regulate the cask industry. 'The Scotch Whisky Association continues to protect and advocate for Scotch as a category, but they have done very little with their position to make tangible changes in the cask market. 'Distilleries are hands-off with the issue and even societies within the whisky world like the Keepers of the Quaich have remained quiet. Tens of millions of pounds of fraud has already been uncovered and as a hands-on trader entrenched within the industry I can assure you we have only scratched the surface. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad 'Please act now so that we can put an end to this madness. Scotch is a drink of the people and we the people need to protect it from these rogue traders.' In response to whisky investment companies recently going bust, and whisky cask investment in general, a spokesperson for the Scotch Whisky Association said: 'We are aware of the dissolution this week of two companies who deal in personal cask investment. This is obviously of significant concern to those who have invested in these companies, and we are signposting those who have been impacted to the appointed administrators for queries on cask purchases. The Scotch Whisky Association (SWA) is a trade association which represents its members on a range of issues, but we are not involved with, nor do we regulate, the cask investment trade. The SWA is not involved with the companies that have entered administration, and they are not members of the SWA.
