"Very happy with these sandals - love the chunky styling, great with shorts, but also feel good for holiday evening wear," someone else commented. "The leather is softer than I'd anticipated as is the cushioning of the sole and relative light weight, meaning they haven't needed 'wearing in'. Love them."
Yet, one customer found the Fisherman Chunky Sandals were a bit "cumbersome". They said: "Nice looking but a bit cumbersome. Too clunky and catches on the ground when walking."
Another customer was delighted with their purchase from White Stuff, remarking: "Comfort and retro style, gives me an extra inch or two in height for those long flared summer trousers and maxi dresses. No need for wedges or high heels, these will do. I bought dark brown to go with beige and blues."
Dr Martens has also introduced a similar sandal. Their Wrenlie Leather Fisherman Sandals are available in sizes three to 13 and priced at £150. Available in dark brown and black, these sandals feature a platform sole embellished with gold tone metal details.

Brits can skip passport queues at major holiday destination from this week

Cabinet Office Minister Nick Thomas Symonds confirmed Keir Starmer's deal with the EU was delivering benefits already - allowing holidaymakers to zip through eGates instead of lengthy passport queues Holidaymakers from the UK can skip lengthy passport queues at a major European holiday destination from today, after Keir Starmer cut a deal with the EU. Faro Airport in Portugal will start the rollout of eGate access to UK arrivals this week, the minister for EU relations has said. ‌ Taking a question about steps "to improve relations with the EU", Nick Thomas-Symonds - a minister in the Cabinet Office - told the Commons: "The historic deal that we signed with the EU on May 19 is in our national interests - good for bills, borders and jobs. ‌ "It slashes red tape and bureaucracy, boosts British exporters and makes life easier for holidaymakers. "Indeed, I'm delighted to confirm this morning that Faro Airport in Portugal will start the rollout of e-gate access to UK arrivals this week." Starmer described the deal as a "win-win" as he shook hands with the President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, in London last month. "Britain is back on the world stage," he declared. "[The deal] gives us unprecedented access to the EU market, the best of any country... all while sticking to the red lines in our manifesto." The PM went on to explain the impact of the "new partnership between an independent Britain and our allies in Europe" on voters' daily lives. "Let me set out why it is good for Britain," he said in a speech posted to X. "Today's deal will [...] help British holidaymakers. We're confirming that they will be able to use e-gates when they travel to Europe, ending those huge queues at passport control." ‌ Since Brexit, British passport holders have been considered "visa-exempt third-country nationals" and have generally had to queue for manual checks at border control to have their passport stamped. Brits were able to use e-gates at a limited number of airports in Spain and Portugal. However, the EU has now agreed to ease checks on British travellers more universally. ‌ The deal states that "there will be no legal barriers to e-gate use for British nationals travelling to and from European Union." It's yet to be confirmed when the rest of the rollout will go ahead. But the EU plans to launch its new Entry/Exit System (EES) in October 2025, replacing the need for non-EU citizens to have their passports stamped. It is thought that more EU airports will allow UK passengers to use the e-gates after the new system comes into effect. ‌ The system will require travellers to have their fingerprints scanned and a photograph taken so they can be registered to a database. Their data will then be stored for three years. Those who do not provide a fingerprint scan and photo will be denied entry. Some EU airports will still require additional checks and Brits may not be able to use e-gates here. ‌ Brits will also still be subject to the '90-day rule', whereby eligible non-EU citizens can spend 90 days in any 180-day period in the EU without a visa. Travel records will be digitised under the new EES to enforce this rule and increase border security. The 'landmark deal' is also expected to "lower food prices at checkouts", improve UK defence and put "more money in people's pockets," according to Starmer. Von der Leyen described it as "a historic moment [...] opening a new chapter in our unique relationship."

New 8pm to 8am parking ban kicks in for thousands of Brits – will YOU be impacted?

DRIVERS have been issued a warning after a new overnight parking ban kicks in for thousands of Brits. The new regulations will see motorists banned between 8pm and 8am at a popular tourist location following local concerns. Hampshire City Council has banned motorhomes and campervans from resting in Keyhaven. The new restrictions come after visitors flocking to the holiday hotspot have been leaving the area in a state. It has led to local concerns with county councillor highlighting a a massive spike in campervan numbers flocking to Keyhaven post-Covid. County Counillor, Fran Carpenter, told Birmingham Live she visited " a few days ago" and reported seeing "visible litter in the salt marsh". She said: "Campervans, some bigger than buses, were parked as far as the eye could see. "A van selling souvenirs and an Uber Eats car blocked the road while dropping off pizzas." Councillor, Lulu Bowerman, Hampshire County Council's Cabinet Member for Highways and Passenger Transport, warned there was a clear impact of having the larger vehicles in the area. "There are no public facilities overnight for parking, and campers use the local land, and many residents have asked for these controls to be introduced," she said. Bowerman explained "the new proposal will manage the situation". "I think the scheme would bring order to this particular beautiful part of Hampshire, and I think it's very necessary to maintain full accessible travel at all times." Additionally, she mentioned a "modest charge" in the area, which falls in line with similar locations, will deliver broader benefits to visitors. It will also help with the upkeep of the ecologically delicate area. New Pay and Display arrangements will be introduced at New Lane and Saltgrasss Lane, Keyhaven. The charges have been set at £1 per hour, up to a maximum stay of all day, operating Monday to Sunday from 10am to 6pm. But as part of the new traffic management arrangements, motorhomes and campervans won't be able to park between 8am and 8pm. Award-winning holiday park in St Ives In a council press release, Bowerman said: "Proposals to introduce parking charges on two seafront roads in Keyhaven stem from local concerns about unrestricted parking, resulting in an increase of overnight stays by motorhomes and campervans. "This has led to littering and other anti-social issues linked to camping activities for which the location is unsuited. "Introducing parking charges enables the County Council to curb overnight parking more effectively and to encourage a quicker turnaround of daytime parking so more people can enjoy this popular location. "We have carefully looked at the feedback received through two rounds of consultation and believe that on balance, a modest charge in line with those in place at similar locations, will deliver broader benefits to visitors whilst importantly, supporting the management of this ecologically sensitive site.' The new charging scheme is expected to be introduced later this year. A change to parking rules at Southeastern railway stations also caught drivers off guard in February. The new regulation saw a "pay and display" machines scrapped in favour of Automatic Number Plate Recognition with drivers now having to pay for their parking online. The move was designed to be "quicker and easier" for motorists who previously had to walk to the machine and back to their car to display their ticket.

London stocks mixed as markets brace for ECB rate decision

June 5 (Reuters) - Britain's benchmark FTSE 100 index edged higher on Thursday, while mid-caps retreated as investors awaited the European Central Bank's interest rate decision. As of 0948 GMT, the blue-chip index FTSE 100 (.FTSE), opens new tab was up 0.2% while the domestically-focussed FTSE 250 (.FTMC), opens new tab fell 0.2%. Shares of Wizz Air (WIZZ.L), opens new tab plunged 25.9%, weighing heavily on the midcap index, after the budget carrier reported an around 62% slide in annual operating profit, citing capacity constraints due to grounded planes. The slump rippled through the travel sector (.FTNMX405010), opens new tab with other airline stocks like easyJet (EZJ.L), opens new tab and ICAG (ICAG.L), opens new tab declining over 1% each. On the flip side, Dr Martens (DOCS.L), opens new tab jumped 23.2% and was the top gainer on the midcap index after the bootmaker announced plans to reduce discounting in key markets, including the U.S., and forecast a return to profit growth in this financial year. The ECB rate decision is scheduled for later in the day, with market watchers almost certain the central bank will cut rates by 25 basis points. Instead, focus will be on bank President Christine Lagarde's signals about future policy decisions. Friday's U.S. non-farm payrolls data will also command attention as evidence mounts of economic damage from President Donald Trump's tariff policies, following weak jobs and services data for the month of May. U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has said that a defence spending commitment of 5% of GDP across the NATO alliance will happen, ahead of the bloc's defence ministers' meeting. A gauge of the UK's defence stocks (.FTNMX502010), opens new tab was down 0.4% in the day. Back home, British construction firms reduced staff numbers last month at the fastest pace in nearly five years, reflecting higher wage costs and reduced demand, a survey showed on Thursday. Data by the Bank of England revealed 70% of businesses surveyed in May expect no impact on sales, prices or investment plans from U.S. tariffs. Among other movers, Mitie Group (MTO.L), opens new tab slid 11% after the outsourcing firm suspended 125 million pounds ($169.5 mln) share buyback programme. ($1 = 0.7374 pounds)
