Nicola Sturgeon's memoir cut to half price within hours of release
SUNDAY MAIL EXCLUSIVE: The former FM's memoirs were being flogged for £14 while some signed copies were going for triple the RRP. Online sellers were flogging copies of Nicola Sturgeon 's book for half price less than 24 hours after its release. Amazon was among those selling 'Frankly' for just £14 on Friday, the day after the former First Minister launched the memoir. Last night the book had reached number one in Amazon's women's biography category and it was the eighth best selling overall. Profiteering book merchants were also trying to flog signed copies for nearly three times the £28 RRP. First edition signed copies of Frankly are listed on Ebay for up to £69.99. It comes after Waterstones decided to start selling the book days before it was supposed to be released, stating there had been no sales embargo. Sturgeon fans flocked to stores in Glasgow to grab a copy on Monday - three days before it's official August 14 release date. Political rivals and critics have blasted elements of the book, accusing Sturgeon of writing an inaccurate account of events such as the scandal involving sexual harassment complaints against Alex Salmond, and her Gender Recognition Reform policy. Among those most critical include Salmond allies Alex Neil and Kenny MacAskill, and Scottish Labour deputy Jackie Baillie. Positive reviews have come from celebrities, politicians and authors including Alan Cumming, Garbage lead singer Shirley Manson, writer Douglas Stuart and former Welsh First Minister Mark Drakeford.

99 Flake name origin explained in full and it has nothing to do with price
In a bid to beat the heat, many of us will indulge in an ice cream or two to help cool down - but do you know how the iconic soft serve got it's name as a 99 Flake? Another heatwave is blasting across the UK – with weather experts predicting temperatures of 31C in some spots are "quite likely". So in a bid to cool down, many of us will turn to an ice cream, to be enjoyed while sat in the sun and Mr Whippy vans serve up a treasure trove of frozen delights as they cruise our neighbourhoods – from classic Fabs to vibrant Twisters and Fruit Pastille ice lollies. But 99 Flakes remain the ultimate crowd-pleaser from their entire selection. Despite munching on these creamy treats for generations, there are surprising truths about them that folks are only now discovering. One of the biggest myths is that they're dubbed 99 Flakes because of their once rock-bottom price. However, the numeric name was actually chosen by Cadbury. You'll have spotted that 99s exclusively describe ice creams topped with a chocolate flake, an innovation from the British confectionery giant dating back to 1930. The Cadbury website explains that '99' was selected to charm Italian residents in the UK. It carries overtones of being the 'cream of the crop', making the pudding sound utterly special. A company representative said: "An ice cream served in a cone with a Flake 99 is the UK's favourite ice cream. In the days of the monarchy in Italy the King had an elite guard consisting of 99 soldiers. Subsequently anything really special or first class was known as '99'. "When Cadbury launched its small Flake for ice creams in 1930, the UK ice cream industry was dominated by ex-pat Italians. So, to appeal to Italians we called our superb Flake a '99'." Fancy a deep dive into the history of 99 Flakes? Stick with us – we've got all the scoop you need. In an eye-opening chat, a legal boffin spilled the beans on 'exactly' how much dosh Mr Whippy vans rake in from dishing out classic 99 ice creams. And for those with a sweet tooth, brace yourselves – the revelation of the full sugar content in these chocolate delights has left many reeling. It's enough to make you ponder before you polish off a few too many in one sitting! The law expert, who goes by @ matthewfresco online, took to TikTok to break down the costs of the seasonal snack, as he said: "How much does Mr Whippy make when you buy an ice cream, it's £1.19. This vanilla flavoured soft serve ice cream with a chocolate flake served in a cone cost me £2.50." He then pointed out the alleged individual costs involved in making a single ice cream, as he continued: "The cone costs 4p, the half-sized Cadbury's chocolate flake costs 10p. Mr Whippy is the trade name of the soft mix ice cream made by Wall's, it's made from condensed milk, double cream and vanilla, which costs just 2p. "The soft serve machine freezes the mix and injects air. Soft serve is soft, creamy, slow to melt and not mad cold. Half your ice cream is fresh air, that's free, but the machine costs you 3p. To power the machine you've got to run the engine all day, that fuel costs you 53p. That diesel van costs you 9p." That's not all, as Mat added the other costs involved: "Trading license is 1p. Scoops, tubs, spoons are 1p. Insurance is 2p and wages are another 2p." He pointed out that ice cream cones are zero-rated VAT as they are classed as a biscuit, but not when "it's covered in chocolate". Mat said: "VAT at 20 per cent making it 42p. Mr Whippy makes £1.19 when you buy a 99. "A good van like this one can sell 600 ice creams on a sunny day, making £44,000 a year. There's 5,103 ice cream vans in the UK, churning over a cool £220,000,000 a year." The ice cream expert hailed the profit-making business as "fantastic", adding: "There's no cooking, no packaging, no waste, no advertising costs - just play the chimes. We love that music but local councils don't."
