New website for Guernsey bus information when operator changes
A new website for bus information will be switched on when the island's operator changes, the States of Guernsey has announced. It said the new buses.gg website would feature timetables, fares, maps and live tracking. UK-based Stagecoach will replace current provider CT Plus from 1 April after the firm won a five-year contract.A new app and Facebook page for bus information was also planned for the switchover date.
'Clear access to information'
Officials said bus timetables would generally remain the same and any credit or time remaining on a Puffinpass remain unaffected to ensure an "orderly transition" between the bus companies. CT Plus staff based in Guernsey were also given the opportunity to transfer to Stagecoach, they said.Environment and Infrastructure vice-president deputy Adrian Gabriel said the new website offered a better experience for bus users."This is really important for regular bus users in Guernsey, but also for visitors we welcome to our island each year, many of whom are frequent bus users, and need simple, clear access to the latest bus information online," he said.

Forget paying France to stop migrants – spend it destroying UK black market that lures them here
Migrant millions wasted on French IN THE last ten years this country has handed the thick end of £1billion to France to stop the boats. What has it achieved? 1 Since 2018, more than 150,000 people have made the perilous Channel crossing as French cops watched them go. This year alone nearly 15,000 have come across in small boats, a 42 per cent increase on the same time last year. In any other business, investing £800million for such a disastrous return would be seen as a catastrophic failure on all sides. But the shameless French don't care when it comes to our taxpayer cash. Despite their flop they are now demanding even more money to intercept boats in shallow water. What a disgraceful cheek. We have no guarantee French cops will approach the task with any more enthusiasm if we fill their pockets yet again. In fact their police union leader seems to despise migrants so much that he appears happy to see the back of them. Since removing the Rwanda deterrent, Sir Keir Starmer's attempts to stop the boats or the gangs have floundered. But rather than gifting hundreds of millions more to the French, the PM would do better to look in our own backyard. Fury as hotel firm housing asylum seekers in 'all-inclusive resorts' paid £700M a year of YOUR money Spend the money destroying the booming black market that is such a magnet for migrants in the first place. Without the lure of illegal cash-in-hand jobs thousands would never risk the treacherous crossing in the first place. Boom & boast RACHEL REEVES will this week boast of an £86billion investment in Britain's fastest growing sectors. The Chancellor's Spending Review bonanza will focus on tech, sciences and defence. If it boosts business and creates jobs it is well worth shouting about. With growth as slow as a snail carrying a sandbag the economy needs help. But this cash has to come from somewhere. Spend, spend, spend is all very well. As long as it isn't followed in October by tax, tax, tax. Sprout of order Wouldn't it have been nice for someone else to have paid the bills. Which is exactly what happened to Lib Dem MP Sarah Gibson when she got the taxpayer to pay for her £154 festive party. She should be deeply ashamed for claiming it on her Commons expenses when millions are feeling the pinch.

Morrison shoppers are rushing to buy three new chocolate flavours of popular coffee drink
SHOPPERS have been rushing to get their hands on three new chocolate flavours of a popular coffee drink. Eagle eyed customers spotted the new flavours on shelves in Morrisons. 2 2 The three items were flagged to coffee enthusiasts on the popular Facebook page Newfoodsuk. These Nescafe new coffee drink flavours are now available in stores. Mint chocolate lovers will be delighted to see an Aero Peppermint Mocha flavour in the mix, which can be spotted with green packaging. Another is a "green triangle" mocha flavour - branded alongside Quality Street. Vanilla cookie dough latte is also among the new flavours available. The 250g cans sell at Morrisons for £3.50 each. They are suitable for vegetarians. Facebook users were quick to note the new flavours, with some speculating which would be their favourites. One user commented: "Not sure about this. "Coffee should be coffee and the only exception is a mocha hut none of these mixed flavours." 'Father of Nutella' dies on Valentine's Day aged 97 after helping to create world-famous hazelnut spread Another said: "I'd love the vanilla one. "But I don't like Mocha. Something different to have." It is not the only chocolatey treat on Morrisons' shelves right now. The retailer is selling a giant Toblerone bar that weighs 4.5kg in time for Father's Day. It will be available until Sunday June 15. NEW CHOCOLATE PRODUCTS It comes as Cadbury is launching a new Dairy Milk flavour bar in the UK this month - Dairy Milk Iced Latte. The new bar combines classic Dairy Milk chocolate with a creamy coffee filling and crunchy biscuit pieces. Four limited edition bars have also been introduced, with packaging that changes based on the temperature. The chocolate maker also recently teased the launch of a new Cadbury White Dipped Twirl bar. Details on the new limited edition flavour are thin, although some smaller online retailers are selling it from 99p. Lidl shoppers have been going wild for a new Dubai-style pistachio spread landing on shelves. The Della Sante chocolate cream spread combines the flavours of the insanely popular chocolate but in spreadable form. The pots cost £4.99 or £3.99 for Lidl Plus members. How to save money on chocolate We all love a bit of chocolate from now and then, but you don't have to break the bank buying your favourite bar. Consumer reporter Sam Walker reveals how to cut costs... Go own brand - if you're not too fussed about flavour and just want to supplant your chocolate cravings, you'll save by going for the supermarket's own brand bars. Shop around - if you've spotted your favourite variety at the supermarket, make sure you check if it's cheaper elsewhere. Websites like let you compare prices on products across all the major chains to see if you're getting the best deal. Look out for yellow stickers - supermarket staff put yellow, and sometimes orange and red, stickers on to products to show they've been reduced. They usually do this if the product is coming to the end of its best-before date or the packaging is slightly damaged. Buy bigger bars - most of the time, but not always, chocolate is cheaper per 100g the larger the bar. So if you've got the appetite, and you were going to buy a hefty amount of chocolate anyway, you might as well go bigger.

Biggest skincare trends for 2025 Face The Future's Head of Clinic, Kimberley Medd, shared the five skincare trends predicted to take off in 2025. 1. Exosomes Exosomes are the buzzword for 2025, taking advanced skin regeneration to new heights. These micro-messengers signal skin cells to repair damage, boost collagen, and accelerate recovery, and they're a gamechanger for targeting ageing. 2. Streamlined Skincare The age of 12-step routines is fading as consumers shift to more intentional, multi-functional products. Streamlining skincare not only saves time but also reduces the risk of overloading your skin. In 2025, we'll see a rise in hybrid products that combine active ingredients for simplified, effective results. 3. Vegan Collagen Plant-based collagen will dominate the skincare world this year, providing a sustainable, ethical alternative to traditional animal-derived collagen. Expect vegan collagen in everything from moisturisers to serums. 4. The Rise Of AI AI is revolutionising the beauty landscape, making it possible for consumers to get truly personalised skincare solutions. In 2025, we predict a dramatic shift towards AI-powered tools that help people understand their skin on a deeper level. 5. Hair Loss Solutions - Hair loss is an issue that affects more men than we often realise, and it's no longer just something we're talking about behind closed doors. This year, expect to see a continued rise in demand for treatments that not only tackle hair loss but also nurture overall scalp health. Shoppers were eager to find the beauty bag for themselves after seeing Nicky's post on the Facebook group ,Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK. One person wrote: "Brillaint buy, love mine." Another commented: 'My store has sold out." "I was there first thing 8am to get mine on Thursday," penned a third.

Someone else added: 'I got this in store. It's great. Definitely worth the money."
