The news comes after another wave of B&M's products went viral on social media.

The sell-out product costs £149 and comes in a light, summery design which makes it perfect for enjoying the warmer weather.
Meanwhile, Tesco's own rattan-set is retailing for just £16 as it clears its shelves.
Originally costing £25, the supermarket has slashed £9 off the cost of the popular garden product.
When comparing products, it is important to check the specifications so you buy the item that is best suited for your purposes.
COMPARE PRICES FOR THE BEST DEAL
JUST because something is on offer, or is part of a sale, it doesn't mean it's always a good deal.
There are plenty of comparison websites out there that'll check prices for you - so don't be left paying more than you have to.
Most of them work by comparing the prices across hundreds of retailers.
Here are some that we recommend: Google Shopping is a tool that lets users search for and compare prices for products across the web. Simply type in keywords, or a product number, to bring up search results.
Price Spy logs the history of how much something costs from over 3,000 different retailers, including Argos, Amazon, eBay and supermarkets. Once you select an individual product you can quickly compare which stores have the best price and which have it in stock.
Idealo is another website that lets you compare prices between retailers. All shoppers need to do is search for the item they need and the website will rank them from the cheapest to the most expensive one.
CamelCamelCamel only works on goods being sold on Amazon. To use it, type in the URL of the product you want to check the price of.

High-grade US firms finance new M&A with more equity and cash, less debt

Aug 5 (Reuters) - Top-rated U.S. companies have financed their acquisitions mostly with equity and cash instead of debt this year, and could continue doing so even as M&A activity and hopes of interest rate cuts rise, bankers and investors said. High debt costs and worries of credit-rating downgrades for taking on debt made funding acquisitions with cash and stock with sky-high valuations more compelling, they said. Last week, rail operator Union Pacific (UNP.N), opens new tab announced an $85-billion deal to acquire Norfolk Southern (NSC.N), opens new tab, and analysts expect it to finance the deal mostly with stock, some cash, and $15 billion to $20 billion of debt. The deal could set a record for the largest buyout in the sector. Such cash-and-stock deals have become popular due to a narrowing gap between the pre-tax costs of equity and debt, according to Piers Ronan, co-head of debt capital markets at Atlanta-based investment bank Truist Securities. Some $250 billion, or 11% of total M&A funding this year, was stock funding, while 15.3% of deal volume was funded by a mix of cash and stock, according to LSEG data. This compares with $441 billion, or 14% of all M&A funding in 2024 that was stock-funded and 7% cash-and-stock funded, the data showed. "Debt is not really so attractive right now -- because equity is so attractive," Ronan said, pointing to its attractive earnings yield (.EWGSPC), opens new tab. Many corporations have posted strong earnings and generate healthy free cash flow, which has contributed to "an uptick in equity financing of M&A transactions and a little less reliance on debt financing," said Natalie Trevithick, head of investment grade strategy at Los Angeles-based asset manager Payden & Rygel. Investment-grade companies have also grown wary of adding debt to avoid downgrades, which could increase their funding costs. Ratings agencies Moody's, S&P, and Fitch warned their ratings on Union Pacific could be downgraded if the company pushes its leverage higher due to its planned Norfolk Southern acquisition. '(A ratings downgrade) is going to have a pretty big impact on how your bonds trade in the secondary market,' said Mike Sanders, head of fixed income at Madison, Wisconsin-based asset manager Madison Investments. Sanders pointed to the poor trading performance of media company Warner Bros Discovery's (WBD.O), opens new tab bonds following its announced split into two separate publicly-traded companies and downgrade to junk status in June. Less reliance on debt by M&A-intent companies could cause end-of-year volumes for investment-grade issuance to fall short of their $1.5-trillion level in 2024, bankers said. The average spread on investment-grade bonds was last at 82 basis points, just shy of the 77-bps level it touched in 1998, according to the ICE BofA U.S. Corporate Index. Kyle Stegemeyer, head of investment-grade debt capital markets and syndicate at Minneapolis-based U.S. Bank, expects M&A-related bond supply to total $225 billion in 2025. "As we move deeper into the year, it becomes less likely that we get the large multinational transformational M&A financed this year to help drive the numbers materially higher," Stegemeyer said.

Taste test: We tried the new Tesco birthday cake sandwich

Far be it from me to say that Tesco falls decidedly below M&S on the supermarket scale, but come the f*** on. Having seen the viral success of Marks' strawberry and creme sandwich — a riff on Japanese sandos found in petrol stations and the like across Japan — Tesco has decided to get in on the sweet sandwich game. Only, instead of fresh fruit and like cream, they've gone for sweet strawberry jam and cream cheese icing, studded with hundreds and thousands. And they're calling it 'birthday cake sandwich.' This surely is an answer to a request nobody made — except, perhaps, high-ups in the corporate head office, greedy for a little more income and hoping the M&S effect can be repeated. Bizarrely, it is more expensive than the real fruit sarnie, by 20p.

SPFL club hit with bombshell 15-point deduction just days after first game of new season

The club have released a statement on their punishment CLUB IN CRISIS SPFL club hit with bombshell 15-point deduction just days after first game of new season Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) EDINBURGH CITY have been slapped with a 15-point deduction by the SPFL. The League Two outfit have been dealt the punishment in relation to SPFL rules on clubs 'suffering an insolvency event.' Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 2 Edinburgh City's Meadowbank Stadium home Credit: Willie Vass 2 Michael McIndoe led Edinburgh City to a third-place finish last season The club have faced numerous off and on-field challenges in recent times. They reached League One in 2022 and finished sixth in their first season in the third tier. But the 2023/24 campaign would prove an immensely difficult one as the club dealt with a major financial crisis. They were hit with a six-point deduction during the season after failing to pay their players. A whole host of first team players then left the club leaving behind a squad of loanees and youngsters to see out the campaign. The club were relegated back to League Two where the challenges have continued. Edinburgh City's SPFL status was plunged into doubt with the club struggling to attain an SFA bronze licence, which they ultimately managed to do in June last year. Despite the continued issues and limited resources, boss MIchael McIndoe led the side to an unexpectedly successful campaign that saw the club reach the play-offs after finishing third. But just as the current campaign kicks into gear, they've been hit with another massive setback in the form of this fresh 15-point deduction. Record on Companies House show that the club appointed a provisional liquidator in a winding up order last month. That appointment was quickly terminated with documents showing the reason for the termination as 'payment of petitioning debt in full.' Under SPFL rules, the appointment of a liquidator automatically triggers a 15-point deduction. It's designated as an 'insolvency event.' The governing body's Rule E1 states: "Where a Club takes, suffers or is subject to a Deductible Insolvency Event that Club shall…be deducted 15 points and 5 points in the League in consecutive Seasons." The club quickly responded once the SPFL had made news of the deduction public. And they've announced they will instantly be kicking-off an appeal against the decision. They said: "Edinburgh City FC hereby acknowledges the penalty imposed upon it by the SPFL this morning. "The Club will begin its appeal process immediately. "No further comment will be made at this time." More to follow...
