Work begins on student flats covering up iconic Billy Connolly mural
Construction work has begun on student flats in Glasgow which will cover up an iconic mural of Scottish comedy legend Billy Connolly. The 50ft tribute portrait of the 'Big Yin' by artist John Byrne was unveiled in Glasgow's Osborne Street in 2017. The portrait, which was created alongside two others to celebrate the comedian's 75th birthday, has since become a tourist attraction and formed part of the city's mural trail. However, construction on an 11-storey student accommodation on the site, which has been empty for several years, will see the mural covered up. In 2023, Nova Living, speaking on behalf of the developers, said they looked at ways of retaining the art – but it would not 'be possible'. Glasgow City Council pointed to past murals that have been removed due to redevelopment in the city – confirming that artworks have always been created to bring 'temporary life' to sites. Objections were launched to the development by Merchant City and Trongate Community Council. Tour guides say the mural is a favourite among visitors to the city every day.

Shoppers ‘obsessed' with new Terry's Chocolate treat launching on supermarket shelves
CHRISTMAS isn't complete without Terry's chocolate orange but a new launch from the brand is perfectly placed for summer. Last year Terry's branched out to offer minty-flavoured products including a chocolate ball and mini segments. 1 Now an eagle-eyed shopper has spotted Terry's chocolate mint bars on the shelves of Sainsbury's, offering a new way to tuck into the treat. Other fans were eager to get their hands on the new item. One said: "That's being added to my shopping list thank you." Another added: "I will have to get to Sainsbury's." Terry's is well-known for its zingy orange flavoured chocolate but the mint version has also been a hit with fans. Gushing shoppers wrote online: "I love these even more than the orange flavour." Another said: "Really nice mint flavour (found other mint choc quite synthetic) would highly recommend." A third added: "I do not like chocolate orange so had never bought Terry's but these are amazing and my whole family are obsessed. Just like after dinner mint but so much nicer as it is milk chocolate and not dark." The mint flavoured bars are £1.25 and stocked in Sainsbury's. But if you can't find the bars in your local shop, the mint chocolate balls are currently more widely available. The cheapest price we could see was from Asda at £1.98. Last year, the brand also launched Terry's Chocolate Mint Crisp Minis. These are mint chocolate segments with crispy pieces inside. The item was a seasonal product but fans will no doubt be hoping it returns again this year. The brand also offers mini and big chocolate flavoured eggs as part of its special Easter ranges. And for anyone who wants a truly cooling treat, Terry's chocolate orange ice cream is currently available in Iceland, £4.50 for a box of four. Terry's plain milk chocolate balls are widely available in supermarkets priced at around £2.50. Terry's Chocolate Orange is a much-loved icon in the confectionery world and has been available to buy since 1932. Around 44 million of the zesty treats are sold globally each year, so the brand has to tread carefully when launching new flavours. Earlier this year, a TikTok account @belongwealth posted a video divulging a little-known secret about the household name. The clip revealed that the iconic brand had another delicious product predating the chocolate orange.. the chocolate apple. The poster gave some context to the history of the product, saying: "In 1926, Terry's Chocolate Works, a family run factory in York, released a dessert chocolate apple. "It did pretty well, so in 1932 they released a dessert chocolate orange, which did really well." According to the TikToker, the chocolate apple did not have the longevity of the orange ball we know and love today because during World War 2, the Terry's chocolate factory was taken over to use as a base for building aircraft blades. After the war, the factory was returned to the Terry's. But due to rationing and limitations on cocoa imports, the company phased out the less popular chocolate apple and focused on the much-loved orange. 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.

King and Queen feed polo mints to champion racehorse on visit to Newmarket
The King and Queen each fed a polo mint to the champion racehorse Stradivarius on a visit to the National Stud in Newmarket, Suffolk. Charles, 76, held out the treat on his right palm for the stallion to take, then stroked the horse on the head. Camilla, 78, also gave the horse a mint then petted it as the animal loudly crunched on it. The King said afterwards: 'At least he didn't bite.' His consort said 'keep away from their teeth', adding: 'Now he's looking for more polos.' Charles and Camilla were shown four resident stallions on their visit to the National Stud, with each individually paraded before them. The last of the four was Stradivarius, who has career earnings in excess of £3.4 million and 18 Group wins – more than any other European horse. The King and Queen, who arrived by helicopter, also spoke to people involved in the horseracing industry during Tuesday's visit. Charles shovelled soil into holes beside two already-planted field maple trees and Camilla then watered them from a watering can, before a round of applause, and they left the National Stud in a dark blue BMW car.
