THE owners of a rural petrol station have sold up just weeks after making headlines for selling fuel at rock bottom prices. Ian Bailey, who owned Bailey's Garage in Abergavenny, Wales, for 50 years said the decision to sell up came after him and his wife were approached about being bought out. Despite him saying it was a decision he "couldn't say no to", Ian said his wife, part of the family business, had not stopped crying since the news of the sale was confirmed, Wales Online reports. He said: "I also feel really sad and as though a family member has died to be honest with you. "Ascona Retail approached us 18 months ago to buy it, and we’ve not known since whether it was actually going to happen or not. "Even until last Thursday we didn’t really know."

Ukraine war: Ukrainian forces ‘holding on’ in Sievierodonetsk, says Zelenskyy
06.06.2022 06:32 Key points to know for Monday: Ukrainian forces are "holding on" in Sievierodonetsk, President Zelenskyy said on Monday. Earlier the regional governor said the local situation had 'worsened' for Ukrainian forces under intense Russian bombardment.

He says: “If your pet is acting funny or is under the weather, or you want to know about nutrition or exercise, just ask. I can help keep pets happy and healthy.” Q) I HAVE an 18-year-old Burmese cat called Bella who has third- stage kidney disease but is not on medication. For the past couple of months she has started being very verbal throughout the night. Is she in pain? Do I need to consider having her put to sleep? I would hate to be keeping her here for selfish reasons if she is suffering. But I feel if I take her to the vet they will suggest putting her to sleep as they said last year she only had months left and not years.

I’m an animal expert – four things you must do to keep your pet safe during the heatwave
PET owners trying to keep their furry friends cool in the heatwave should pay attention to these tips. Experts warned Brits to stay inside this week to keep safe in the hot weather - and the same advice is in place for our pets. We spoken to Karen Heskin, the head of pets at Pets at Home, who revealed her top tips and tricks to keep your animals cool. She said: “It’s really important to have the right information and products to keep your pets protected, as warm and sunny weather can potentially be dangerous for them. “Dogs, for example, don’t sweat like we do - they cool themselves down by panting. "But on really hot days, panting isn’t effective and they need some help to cool down." Making sure there is plenty of shade and cool water around is crucial, but some extra cooling gizmos and gadgets can help too.

Inside deserted ‘zombie land’ shopping centre where EVERY single store has shut
A deserted shopping centre has been dubbed the worst in Britain with not a single store left open. Festival Park shopping centre was compared to a 'zombie land' with nothing but an eerie playground and a talking clock left behind. The mall was once known as a bustling hub with more than 40 companies including M&S, Nike, Costa and Gap. Now the shopfronts, which used to be full of the latest products, display nothing but signs that read "sorry we are closed." The site, in Gwent, Wales, was hit hard by a retail slump followed by Covid lockdowns forcing store owners to close their doors. Now it is set to be 'recycled' into a business centre after a host of top names moved out of the area. Festival Park shopping centre has no open stores ( Image: WALES NEWS SERVICE) It is not the first time the site has had a change of use, having once been part of the government's National Gardens Festival scheme. Its grand opening in 1992 welcomed guests from Prince … [Read more...] about Inside deserted ‘zombie land’ shopping centre where EVERY single store has shut
The most important, truthful things you should know about bulimia nervosa
There’s a lot of misconception around eating disorders and the noticing of signs or symptoms of one. Bulimia nervosa is one disorder that is frequently misinterpreted, especially within the film industry. You often see actresses playing the role of someone who suffers with bulimia, but I feel they don’t portray all aspects of the disorder. Often the actresses are extremely thin and exercise freaks; women who control every aspect of their life and feel the need to also control their food. Women who are seen to be throwing up after every plate of food – if they are ever actually eating a plate of food – and women who choose to live off a couple of nuts a day. I can’t help but feel the film industry just got it so, so wrong. Of course, some aspects in films like Kate’s Secret are correct, but I feel they were not perceived in the correct light. I think it’s important to address a few things that are often missed out among people’s perceptions of bulimia. Here’s some … [Read more...] about The most important, truthful things you should know about bulimia nervosa
