THE HISTORY OF DUNNES STORES

DUNNES Stores opened its first store on Patrick Street in Cork in 1944 - and it was an instant hit.

Shoppers from all over the city rushed to the store to snap up quality clothing at pre-war prices in Ireland’s first ‘shopping frenzy’.

During the excitement, a window was forced in and the police had to be called to help control the crowds hoping to bag founder Ben Dunne’s ‘Better Value’ bargains.

Dunnes later opened more stores in the 1950s and began to sell groceries in 1960 – starting with apples and oranges.

The retailer said: “Fruit was expensive at the time and Ben Dunne yet again offered Better Value than anyone else in town.

“Over time, our food selection has grown and that spirit of good value has remained strong.

“Now we offer a wide range of carefully-sourced foods from both local Irish suppliers and overseas.”

The retailer’s first Dublin store opened its doors in 1957 on Henry Street and a super store on South Great Georges Street was unveiled in 1960.

They added: “In 1971, our first Northern Irish store opened, and many others soon followed.

“Expansion continued in the 1980s in Spain, and later into Scotland and England.”

Dunnes now has 142 stores and employs 15,000 people.

Вчені виявили співіснування форм у ядрі кобальту-70

Науковці з Центру рідкісних ізотопних пучків (FRIB) виявили, що ядро ізотопу кобальту-70 може одночасно існувати у двох формах з майже однаковим енергетичним рівнем.

Warning to anyone towing a caravan this summer over ‘illegal’ mistake that could land you with £1,000 fine 

CARAVAN owners have been warned they could face a £1000 fine for not towing their trailers properly.

Summer is now upon us, and Brits up and down the country are likely making plans to take their caravans out for a spin.

However, the DVSA urged motorists to book safety checks before setting off on holiday, to avoid fines.

“Planning a caravan trip soon? Book a safety check to make sure it’s safe!” the road safety agency said in a social media post.

The DVSA then provided a link to a directory of free trailer safety checks across the UK.

Safety checks are incredibly important as they test whether caravans are roadworthy before they head out on long journeys.

The checks can identify issues with tyres, breaks and other components that could lead to issues on the road.

One rule that motorists must stick to is to ensure that they have towing mirrors which allow clear visibility of an area four metres wide from the side of the caravan, at a distance of 20 metres behind the driver.

Anyone caught towing a caravan without the proper mirrors will be slapped with a fine of up to £1000 and three points on their licence.

Regular maintenance of caravans is of vital importance, due to the challenges of towing, including risks of snaking and pitching.

Snaking is when caravans sway from side to side and pitching refers to the front of the caravan moving up and down.

Both of these conditions can be dangerous, so its best to get regular checks even if your caravan is equipped with stabilisers to reduce this problem.

The legal requirements for towing a caravan differ depending on when you passed your driving test.

Drivers who passed their test before Janurary 1, 1997 can usually drive a vehicle and trailer combination up to 8,250kg Maximum Authorised Mass.

Those who gained a licence after January 1, 1997 can tow trailers weighing up to 3,500kg.

Your vehicle should have a maximum towing capacity listed in the handbook or specification sheet.

Why caravan holidays are so underrated

CARAVAN park holidays are a British staple.

And with the cost of living crisis wreaking havoc on Britain’s purses, more of us are turning to them for an affordable break.

Josie O’Brien, Senior Digital Writer on Fabulous, weighs in on why she thinks caravan holidays are seriously underrated…

WHEN I was a child, my mum used to collect the £9.50 holiday vouchers in The Sun.

She’d use them to book a couple of nights away at a caravan park during the school holidays.

As an adult, I fully appreciate the convenience of a humble caravan holiday.

No faffing about with passports, no luggage limits and no bog-standard hotel breakfast of stale toast and grey eggs. 

I still love caravan holidays as an adult.

In a world of doing everything for the ‘gram, a caravan park brings you back to basics.

There’s no obligation to get dressed up, no stress to fit a million picturesque excursions in one week and I don’t find myself flustered in tourist hot spots like abroad. 

I love going to coastal caravan parks and strolling along the beach parade.

My highlight is always fresh mussels, ice-creams and classic pubs to grab an afternoon tipple in. 

And then, of course, there’s the cost.

Staying in a caravan is definitely way cheaper than my international trips. 

With no expensive hotel bills and the ability to cook my own meals, I’m spending hundreds less than I would abroad.

I’ve had some of my best and most relaxing holidays in caravans. Maybe I’ll buy my own one day.

Motorists towing caravans must also drive at a maximum speed of 50mph on a single carriageway or 60mph on a dual carriageway or motorway, unless a lower limit is enforced.

Caravan owners are also banned from having passengers inside the caravan whilst it is being towed.

Additionally, the caravan’s number plate must display its registration number, and has to be lit up at night time.

If you are a caravan newbie, or are keen for a refresher, the Camping and Caravanning Club offers a two-day course, teaching motorists essential skills.

During the course, drivers can use Club caravans to practice their skills under supervision.

Sam Thompson QUITS Soccer Aid as he pulls out following injury hours after coming face to face with Louis Tomlinson

Sam Thompson has been ruled out of playing in this year’s Soccer Aid, escaping an awkward on pitch encounter with Louis Tomlinson.

The former Made in Chelsea star, 32, was due to play in the same England side as One Direction star Louis, 33. who is now dating Sam’s ex-girlfriend Zara McDermott.

But due to injuries sustained during Sam’s epic marathon challenge, in which he made the gruelling 260-mile trip from Stamford Bridge to Old Trafford via foot and bike.

A source said: “Sam is gutted he can’t play, but the match has just come too soon since his efforts.

“He’s still going to be a presence and play a big part in the coverage but he won’t be able to compete on the field.”

The source added: “There is a small blessing in his withdrawal as the focus on him and Louis will disperse.

“Their every move will be watched so it’s a relief in some ways they won’t be on the pitch together.”

Sam and Louis were pictured training this week at Soccer Aid HQ in Tring, Herts, where the England and Rest of the World teams are preparing for the match.

Wayne Rooney and Tyson Fury will be managing at England team, assisted by Harry Redknapp, while ex-Mcmavetee United legend Peter Schmeichel will be in charge of the Rest of the World team.

Sam will play a “ceremonial role” in Sunday’s match, kicking off the game before heading into the stands.

On his absence, England teammate Mo Farah said: “If Sam’s unable to play that’s a shame but we’re still proud of him for his efforts and what he did for UNICEF.

“He’ll still be with us and part of our team on the day.”

It comes after Sam met Louis on the pitch during training on Thursday.

He was spotted smiling at the One Direction singer – who is dating his ex Zara.

Days earlier, Sam’s best friend Pete Wicks took a massive swipe at Zara.

He delivered the scathing dig as Sam tackled a 260-mile endurance challenge on both bike and foot in aid of Unicef ahead of Soccer Aid.

Cheering him on from the roadside, Towie alum Pete, 37, shared a snap holding a sign that read, “You caaaaaan,” echoing Zara’s infamous plea to then-boyfriend Sam Thompson, 32, on MIC after she admitted to cheating a year into their relationship.
