Yeah it is dog friendly.

Depends what sort of thing you’re looking for of course but the Queens at Lytham is always decent. Probably need to book.

Warning as spoof refugee housing letters posted through letterboxes Residents living on streets with St George's flags were told they could soon be housing refugees.

A warning has been issued after fake letters were posted through letterboxes, claiming people would have to house refugees if they flew St George's flag.

......that to thank residents for housing the refugees, they would receive a mug with a St George's flag on from King Charles.

Everton’s Hill Dickinson Stadium cost £800m. It is an arena fit for the future Everton's first Premier League game at their new home was a powerful, emotional occasion - and The Athletic savoured every moment

A plume of blue smoke seen across the Mersey. A cacophony of noise (110 decibels, to be precise) to greet Ndiaye's goal - Everton's first in the PL at the new stadium

Plenty of new but some echoes of Goodison

Perfect start to #EFC's next chapter

UTFT.

Yeah £6m included in the £42m. So it’s £36m plus the add ons of up to £6m and the sell on.

He went to Chelsea when he was younger and didn't settle. Sounds like it was too big a move/club/city. I get the impression he/his family didn't want him to go to a 'global corp' team so Everton is probably a good fit. We can only wait and see, but I think he's going to be pretty special.

Google 'How good is Tyler Dibling'. Read the reviews from his coaches and managers over the last year or so. Every transfer is a gamble. Obviously more so with a younger player. But everyone in football thinks this kid has got what it takes.

A clever way of showing them up for what they are …
