And grandparents, as well as carers, are also allowed in the scheme.
Usually, members of the club can redeem eight points for every £1 they spend on baby products.

Morrisons charging new extra shopping fee after big rule change as shoppers fume it's a ‘slap in the face'
Plus, an expert consumer champion weighs in on the conversation SUPERMARKET WEEP Morrisons charging new extra shopping fee after big rule change as shoppers fume it's a 'slap in the face' Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) MORRISONS has enraged customers by charging an extra £3 for shopping deliveries if a customer does not spend £40. Previously shoppers could spend as little as £25 on a delivery without paying the surcharge, which was helpful for smaller families and elderly people. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 1 Morrisons has increased the cost of their online delivery charge Credit: Getty The new rules, brought in on July 14, say the new charge would not apply if you have paid for a delivery pass. The £25 total excludes the delivery cost. Customers have reacted furiously, with one calling it a "sneaky" move on and hit out at the lack of notice. Another added: "Great. @Morrisons was the one that I relied on as someone by themself. I was doing £25 home deliveries without extra charges. Now these are changing terms. Not everyone can/needs to spend £40 minimum ." Meanwhile on a frustrated shopper complained: "Struggling to make ends meet and now I find this. Bit of a slap in the face really." And another fumed: "I noticed that Morrisons sent me an email saying that if you don't spend £40 online shop you will be charged £3 on top of your delivery charge... "I can clearly see how Morrisons is planning to gain from customers." Consumer champion Martyn James said: 'Online deliveries became a lifeline for people over the pandemic. 'But for millions of people they continue to be essential. Introducing charges like this might seem small, but for people struggling to make ends meet, they really can have a huge impact. 'Online deliveries help people with disabilities, those working multiple jobs. older and more vulnerable people and families on a tight budget using online services to stay within very tight budget limits. Top things to buy at Morrisons 'These charges seem deeply unfair for those who need deliveries the most.' Morrisons said: 'We have recently introduced a £3 delivery fee supplement to customers who order a basket of £40 or under to be delivered to their home. 'This fee will not apply to our paid Delivery Pass Customers and even with the additional fee our prices remain competitive versus the rest of the market.' At Asda, there is an extra £3 charge if the value of your trolley is less than £40 for a delivery order. With Tesco, a £5 minimum basket charge will be added to delivery orders at the checkout, where the basket value is under the £50 minimum basket value. For Sainsbury's, orders under £40 will be charged £7 for standard delivery. More supermarket changes Morrisons is not the only supermarket which has switched up its online grocery offer. Posh supermarket Waitrose has launched a new Delivery Pass following a trial. It allows shoppers to pay a fixed amount upfront for deliveries, either monthly, six-monthly, or annually, through the Waitrose website or app. Without a pass, delivery slots cost between £2 and £4 each. But with the new scheme, a one-month pass will cost £8, a six-month pass is £45, and a 12-month pass comes in at £85. Waitrose says the annual plan could save customers up to £123 a year if they order once a week using a £4 slot.

Major update on bust IT firm after more than 100 Scots workers axed
Thompsons Solicitors are now representing more than 100 ex- Adarma staff who were booted out the door with no pay LEGAL WAR Major update on bust IT firm after more than 100 Scots workers axed Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A top law firm has launched a legal war on behalf of furious workers ditched without a penny by a collapsed Scots cyber security firm. Thompsons Solicitors Scotland are now representing more than 100 ex- Adarma staff who were booted out the door with no pay, after the Edinburgh-based company plunged into administration last week. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 1 Adarma offered a wide range of security services, including thread detection, security operations, bespoke security and managed data analytics Credit: PA:Press Association Shell-shocked employees were initially told the firm was on the hunt for a new buyer — only to be left stunned just days later when bosses pulled the plug completely. The Scottish Sun understands 173 axed workers across Scotland and England were then told they would not be getting their monthly salary or any of the other cash they were owed. The firm employed 176 people from its Edinburgh and London hubs. Now Thompsons — who've fought and won for hundreds of Scots dumped in similar sudden collapses — have stepped in to take on some of their cases, and are vowing to secure compensation. The legal outfit has previously bagged payouts for staff at Fife's Tullis Russell paper mill, Glasgow's Watt Brothers department store and warehouse workers in Ayrshire infamously given just 15 minutes' notice by a firm owned by retail mogul Mike Ashley. Paul Kissen, the top legal eagle heading up Thompsons' Protective Award Unit, blasted Adarma for the way they treated their workers. He said: 'Yet again, loyal, hardworking employees have been led up the garden path by a company that knew it was in trouble, but told them nothing. They've been treated with utter contempt. 'These workers are entitled to compensation through a protective award — and I'll make damn sure they get it. "Even staff who were only there a short time can expect several weeks' pay.' One former employee, who asked not to be named, revealed the cloak-and-dagger tactics used in the run-up to the company's collapse. Edinburgh Cybersecurity Giant Adarma Collapses with 173 Jobs Lost He said: 'We were told management was looking for new owners, but we were under strict orders to keep clients in the dark and make sure they kept paying. 'Not long after, we were told the company was in administration - and we weren't getting paid. We were completely kept in the dark and then dumped without warning. 'As usual, it's the workers who suffer while the top brass walk away.' Adarma, once a rising star in Scotland's booming tech scene, is now the latest high-profile casualty in the volatile IT sector. Adarma offered a wide range of security services, including thread detection, security operations, bespoke security and managed data analytics.

Abandoned European airport being BULLDOZED & turned into new ‘smart city' unveils timeline for first homes
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) THE site of a major international airport is set to be transformed into a smart city as new plans have been unveiled. Spanning a whopping 6.2 million square metres, this site even played a role on the Olympic stage. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 6 The Ellinikon development will see the former airport site coverted into a 'smart city' Credit: 6 The former international airport was used during the Athens Summer Olympics in 2004 Credit: Getty 6 First built in 1938, the Athens airport served over 12 million passengers a year in its heyday before closing in 2001 Credit: Getty The former Athens International Airport site is set to undergo the ambitious Ellinikon urban development, with the first residential units estimated in 2027. First used as a airport in 1938, the Greek airport saw its last flight in 2001 as operations moved to the new Spata site. Since then parts of the development were repurposed for the Athens Summer Olympics in 2004. Sports such as canoe‑slalom, hockey, and softball were hosted on the grounds. Ambitious development In 2012, Lamda Development purchased the site and now executives have shared an update on their ambitious plans. Set to be one of Europe's largest regeneration projects, the Ellinikon urban development will see a new "smart city" constructed on the premises of the former airport. And despite minor delays of three to four months in some areas due to updates in national building regulations, construction remains largely on track with the city set to welcome residents by 2027. There are four residential projects underway, one along the coastal front and three within the 'Little Athens' district. Accordinf to Lamda, these are all progressing ahead of schedule, with the average price for residential units in the Little Athens neighbourhood now exceeding €8,500 (£7,372) per square metre. There is also strong commercial interest in the retail aspects of the project, with the Elliniko—Vouliagmenis Mall poised to become the largest mall in Greece. Incredible 'airport of the future' revealed - with no queues or long waits To date, Lamba has generated €1.2 billion (£1 billion) in revenue from real estate sales at Ellinikon. The development is rapidly establishing itself as a landmark urban regeneration model, combining luxury living, retail, and green public spaces in a singular coastal destination. It is set to include a 600 acre metropolitan park, a Hard Rock Cafe & Casino, museums, schools, university campuses, cinemas, office towers, and even beaches. The development, which is roughly three times the size of Monaco, will be largely powered by renewable energy. It will even feature a massive green canopy to reduce heat island effect. History of Ellinikon International Airport By TOM MALLEY Ellinikon International Airport once served around 11 million passengers a year - and recorded 13.5 million passengers during its final year of operation. Located four miles south of central Athens, the airport was initially built in 1938, just before the Second World War, at a time when the area was sparsely populated. But shortly after it opened, the Third Reich invaded Greece and after 1941, the airport served as a Luftwaffe airbase during the occupation. In 1945, the Greek authorities had to sign an agreement with the United States Air Force that allowed them to use the airport for flights between Italy and the Middle East. From October 1, 1945, to 1969, the airport became the Hellinikon Air Base. A command and control centre, as well as a passenger and cargo terminal, were opened at the airport. In 1958, the airport changed its name to Athens International Airport when its purpose was changed to civil aviation. In 1988, however, Greece refused to renew their agreement with the US Air Force, which conducted its last operation at the airport in 1991. Following its official closure ten years later, abandoned planes, empty hangars, overgrown runways and crumbling infrastructure formed part of the huge eyesore that was once a major international airport. And while most of the existing structure will be bulldozed, some of the historic hangers will be maintained and converted into cultural spaces. Project timeline The development is currently in its first phase, with construction of the park, Riviera Tower, and casino set to be complete by the end of 2026. Meanwhile, the Little Athens residences, Hard Rock Hotel, and commercial areas will be developed between 2027 and 2030. And from 2030 onwards, work will focus on the full expansion of cultural, business, and educational hubs. 6 The development will include a large park, retail spaces, residential units, and uniersity campuses Credit: 6 The Ellinikon development will even feature a beach front area for residents Credit: More airport stories Plus, the UK airport set to re-open with potential budget routes after a £500 million revamp. And the world's best airport has officially been named, boasting a "triple runway". The most beautiful airports have also been ranked, with a popular European one featuring near the top. Plans for a mega town near a major UK airport have also been unveiled. And Southend Airport has reopened after a major crash killed four people.
