Hisense TV with 'excellent picture and colour quality' sees lowest price in weeks
Amazon has cut the price of a budget Hisense TV to one of the cheapest prices this month Looking for a good TV for a great price can be tough nowadays, especially with all the choices and expensive options on the market. We've spotted a deal which could put one Hisense TV model on your shopping list. The Hisense 32E4QTUK LED TV has dropped in price to the lowest in 30 days on Amazon at a very commendable £159. The lowest it has been in 30 days. This Hisense gogglebox isn't the most flashy and only comes with a 32-inch 1080p screen, but it's perfect for a spare room or bedroom and even comes with Dolby Atmos sound. Brilliant Shark fan that's saved me this summer has £50 off as UK heatwave arrives' 63p-a-day supplement for menopausal women that helps them 'feel like their old selves' It also has Freely built in, which means shoppers can say goodbye to the aerial. This amazing platform allows watchers to easily browse and watch live TV channels and on-demand content in one seamless and intuitive interface, all streamed directly to their TV via the internet. It also has a crisp, colourful screen thanks to its direct-lit full array, which benefits from having a grid of tightly packed individual LEDs positioned directly behind the screen covering the whole of the panel. This allows Brits to enjoy crisp, vivid colours and deep blacks from edge to edge. For those looking for some alternatives, there's also plenty of options to choose from. There's this 4K Samsung 50-inch TV that is available for £259. It boasts a 4.1-star rating from reviewers and has been praised as 'easy to set up' with 'great build quality'. One shopper noted: "Very good price and great features and build quality." Shoppers could also consider a Sky Glass Gen 2 for those wanting to upgrade without a hefty upfront cost. Prices start from £14 a month across 48months or £699 up front, and plans start at £15. Reviewers have also called the device "absolutely cracking." The same reviewer added: "It's not the thinnest TV but is feature-packed. It's a good size and has a nice quality picture, as well as really good sound, too. It has more or less any app you can imagine. It's easy to set up and use with a fully functional remote control. For the money, you can't go wrong!" Another reviewer added, "Great value for money with this Hisense TV. The picture and colour quality are excellent, especially given the price. The sound quality is good, but could be better. But again, given the price, I can't complain. It's lightweight, quick, and simple to set up, and it has all the apps and features you need at the click of a button. "It connects to WiFi well, and the signal strength is great. I highly recommend this TV!" However some shoppers did have issues setting it up. One shopper added: "Legs were fiddly to attach. The screws for some reason weren't going in properly. "The ITVX app doesn't have the live TV feature, which is super annoying. Apart from that, it's a decent TV for the price but it's not amazing. It will just do for now."

Half of Brits pack food and drink from home when travelling abroad
With summer holidays in full swing, new research released today reveals the extent Brits go to in order to bring home comforts with them on holiday, particularly when it comes to food and drink. Despite friends, family and pets topping the list of the things Brits would miss most when on holiday abroad, two in three (65%) agree that they miss food and drink from home. In fact, those travelling abroad miss familiar food and drink so much that half (50%) admit to having stashed items in their suitcase, with chocolate (47%), crisps (40%), cereal (23%) and bread (18%) being the most common things to pack or consider packing. With 40% agreeing that finding their preciously stowed food damaged upon arrival at their destination would leave them feeling disappointed, family bakers, Warburtons – who commissioned the research – has stepped in with a practical solution. This summer, Brits can say goodbye to damaged dough with the launch of 'Baked Baggage', a hard-shell holdall specifically designed to store bread in their luggage while travelling abroad. Forget souvenirs – Brits want their bread. 36% of those surveyed wish they could buy British sliced bread abroad, proving a clear market void, with a further 30% actively searching for that beloved taste of home when they travel. The limited-edition launch, which comes as part of Warburtons' summer partnership with the UK's leading package holiday provider, Jet2holidays, means Brits can finally take their favourite loaves with them, without fear of them getting squashed. The wider partnership gives shoppers the chance to win a range of prizes including a 5* all-inclusive Jet2 holiday. Jonathan Warburton, Chairman of Warburtons, said: 'I've always said there's nothing quite like a proper slice of toast in the morning, or a comforting sandwich at lunch time, and it seems our customers agree! It's heart-warming to know that even when they're off on their holidays, a taste of home, a bit of that familiar comfort, is still so important.' A spokesperson for Jet2holidays added: 'We know that every detail contributes to a truly memorable holiday experience, and for many that includes the comforting taste of home.'

Royal Mint's rarest Queen Elizabeth II £1 coins to circulate
The Royal Mint announced the news and more than 23 million of these coins are being released alongside 7.5 million new King Charles III £1 coins. The official maker of British coins said the last of the Elizabeth II coins, dated 2022, are the rarest £1 coins in active circulation. Significant moment for UK coinage as final batch of Queen Elizabeth II £1 coins enter circulation The historic transition – with the dual release of almost 31 million coins – represents a significant moment for UK coinage, as the nation witnesses the changeover from Britain's longest-reigning monarch to her son and heir on the £1 denomination, the Royal Mint said. The Queen's £1 coins will be the final ones bearing Elizabeth II's portrait to enter circulation. Rebecca Morgan, director of commemorative coin at the Royal Mint, said: 'This release represents a pivotal moment in British coinage history. 'As we release more of the King Charles III £1 coins into circulation alongside the final coins of Queen Elizabeth II, we're witnessing the physical representation of our monarchy's transition. 'This dual release creates an exceptional opportunity for both seasoned numismatists and those new to coin collecting.' Brits urged to check their change for rare Queen Elizabeth II £1 coins The Royal Mint is encouraging the public to check its change over the coming weeks, as the new coins begin to appear in pockets and tills across the nation. Ms Morgan added: 'Finding these new coins in your change could spark a rewarding hobby that connects you with the heritage, history and craftsmanship behind British currency.' All UK coins bearing the Queen's portrait will remain legal tender and in active circulation to allow a smooth transition and minimise the environmental impact and cost. Which coins have King Charles' portrait on them? Since the introduction of the King's effigy on UK coinage in 2023, the 50p and £1 are the only denominations with Charles's portrait to have entered circulation so far. The King's £1 coins feature an intricate bee design on the reverse and are part of the Definitive collection, inspired by the flora and fauna of the British Isles. Some 2.975 million £1s with the King's effigy were released in August last year. In total, there are around 24.7 billion coins in circulation across the UK, with the King's coins representing only around 0.004% of those, making his new coins highly desirable to collectors. Recommended reading: Royal Mint proud to have struck coins of British monarchs for more than 1,000 years The Royal Mint said: "A coin is much more than its face value. It is a year-dated piece of history that can reveal stories about the past. "For more than a thousand years we have struck the coins of British monarchs, beginning with Alfred the Great and leading up to the present with His Majesty King Charles III. "We have also developed the most visually secure bullion coin in the world, celebrated anniversaries, achievments and people with commemorative coins and until 2024, produced coins for many countries across the globe."
