Even bags of potato chips — 'crisps' — are imported with flavors that include tomato ketchup, pickled onion and prawn cocktail.
A new country line dancing bar and restaurant is coming to the Treasure Coast. It's described as the "newest hotspot for great eats, cold drinks and a whole lot of country charm." It plans to serve up classic food and a lineup of western-themed brews. It expects to have weekly line dancing nights and live country music, spiked with a little classic rock.
A longtime hole-in-the-wall pizzeria in Fort Pierce closed after 31 years. Its final day of business was June 13, 2025, after it originally opened in 1994. It was known for its pizza, whether it be by the slice or the whole pie, and its popular pepperoni rolls.
Fire and Wine in Vero Beach is closed for an "extended summer break" and will announce a reopening date in the future, according to its phone message. The website states: "We are currently closed. Thanks so much for all of your support and patronage. Have a wonderful day!"

5 hyped football transfers that never happened
By Aman Shukla Published on July 4, 2025, 20:20 IST The transfer window in football is like a soap opera—full of drama, wild rumors, and moments that make you scream, 'How did that not happen?!' Fans get hyped, jerseys are mocked up, and then… nothing. Some of the biggest names in the game have been at the center of these almost-deals that leave us dreaming of what could've been. From Nico Williams' recent Barcelona heartbreak to a legend nearly joining a small English club, here are five transfers that got the world talking but never crossed the finish line. 1. Nico Williams to Barcelona (2025) Oh, man, the Nico Williams saga this summer had us all glued to our phones. The 22-year-old Athletic Bilbao winger was the guy everyone wanted after he lit up Euro 2024 with Spain. Barcelona fans were already picturing him tearing down the wing with Lamine Yamal, his buddy from the national team. Word was, Barca had his signature all but locked in—personal terms agreed, €58 million release clause ready to be paid. It felt like a done deal, with some even calling it '150% certain.' But then, classic Barcelona: their money troubles reared up. La Liga's salary cap rules threw a wrench in the plans, and some last-minute demands from Williams' agent didn't help. Arsenal, Chelsea, and Bayern Munich were circling, but Nico stayed put in Bilbao, saying he's happy there. Honestly, it's a gut-punch for Barca fans who were ready to see him light up the Camp Nou. 2. Zinedine Zidane to Blackburn Rovers (1995) This one's straight out of a fever dream. Picture Zinedine Zidane, the guy who'd become a football god, signing for Blackburn Rovers. Yep, Blackburn . Back in '95, fresh off their Premier League title, Rovers were sniffing around for talent. Their scouts spotted a young Zizou at Bordeaux, and the assistant coach was begging the club to snap him up. But the chairman, Jack Walker, dropped the most legendary line in transfer history: 'Why sign Zidane when we've got Tim Sherwood?' Oof. Blackburn passed, and Zidane went on to dazzle at Juventus and Real Madrid, winning everything from World Cups to Ballon d'Ors. Rovers fans still wince thinking about what might've been if their club had taken the leap. 3. Alfredo Di Stefano to Barcelona (1953) This story is wild, even by today's standards. Alfredo Di Stefano, the guy who'd make Real Madrid untouchable, was this close to signing for Barcelona. The Catalans had a deal with River Plate, who owned his rights, and thought they'd bagged the Argentine superstar. But Real Madrid, not ones to miss out, struck their own deal with Millonarios, where Di Stefano was playing in Colombia. It turned into a proper mess, with both clubs claiming him. Then, get this: the Spanish authorities, with a nudge from Franco's regime, suggested Di Stefano split time between the two clubs, playing a season for each. Barcelona said, 'Nah, we're out,' and Real swooped in. Di Stefano became the heart of Madrid's five straight European Cups. Barca fans still talk about this one as the ultimate 'what if' that changed their rivalry forever. 4. Rivaldo to Bolton Wanderers (2004) Okay, imagine Rivaldo, the 1999 Ballon d'Or winner, strutting his stuff at Bolton Wanderers. Sounds bonkers, right? But in 2004, it nearly happened. Bolton, managed by the larger-than-life Sam Allardyce, were punching above their weight in the Premier League with players like Jay-Jay Okocha. They set their sights on Rivaldo, who'd just left Barcelona and had a brief stint at AC Milan. The Brazilian legend was genuinely up for it, charmed by Allardyce's vision of leading Bolton to Europe. Talks got serious, and Rivaldo was hyping up the move. Then, poof—it fell apart, and no one's quite sure why. Maybe it was money, maybe cold feet. Either way, the idea of Rivaldo in a Bolton kit is one of football's craziest near-misses. 5. Steven Gerrard to Chelsea (2005) Stevie G in a Chelsea shirt? It's the stuff of nightmares for Liverpool fans. Back in 2005, after Liverpool's epic Champions League comeback in Istanbul, Steven Gerrard was the hottest property in football. But he was frustrated with contract talks at Anfield, and Chelsea, flush with cash and Jose Mourinho's swagger, came calling. Gerrard admitted he was tempted—Chelsea were building an empire, and the idea of winning titles with them was hard to ignore. The rumor mill went into overdrive, and for a moment, it looked like he might actually go. In the end, his love for Liverpool and the Kop's adoration kept him home. He stayed a one-club legend, but imagine the chaos if he'd ended up at Stamford Bridge.

Frazzled English woman' is the new trend for summer
Your picturesque and Instagram-worthy summer can be tossed to the side. It's time to embrace a 'frazzled English woman' summer. This new trend is probably one of the healthiest TikTok has seen in recent years. The term was first coined on TikTok by Australian fashion magazine Russh in 2022, and it's having a resurgence as people embrace a more relaxed and carefree lifestyle. Advertisement It's all about loosening up and being unapologetically yourself. Messy hair? Stained t-shirt? Makeup a little smudged? Check, check and check. The aesthetic draws from 2000s rom-coms — think Renée Zellweger's Bridget Jones or Keira Knightley as Juliet in 'Love Actually.' 3 Many look to Renee Zellweger in 'Bridget Jones's Diary' for inspiration for the frazzled English woman aesthetic. Universal/courtesy Everett Advertisement The frazzled English woman isn't going to take the time to perfect her hair in the morning when she's running out the door. And she isn't waking up extra early to pick out a matching set — she's simply going to take clothes out of her closet and put them on, no time wasted. 3 Keira Knightley's roles in movies has inspired many frazzled English woman styles. WireImage 'The frazzled English woman is of course not just an aesthetic, it's a lifestyle,' content creator @caitlinann_ said on TikTok. Advertisement According to TikTok — to embrace your inner English woman, start off by wearing what's already in your closet and stop focusing on social media trends. If you put on your favorite shirt and realize you got makeup on it — instead of panicking, wear it anyway. User @annacoletteuk also suggests keeping your hair natural and letting it get 'crazy crazy windswept.' Advertisement 'This is so Bridget jones,' one person commented on the video. 'keira knightley vibes,' another wrote 'I was expecting Helena bonham carter vibes,' someone else said. 3 Helena Bonham Carter is another big inspiration for the frazzled English woman vibes. Brett D. Cove / If you're looking for more inspo on this trend — do a quick search on TikTok and you'll be met with countless videos showing different outfit ideas. But ultimately, the fun part of being a little frazzled is embracing your individualism and creativity. The ultimate goal is to be too busy to care or worry about keeping things in check — just go outside and see where the wind takes you.

Spotted: The 8 Best Dressed Guests Today At Wimbledon
Despite its long-standing dress code for challengers, Wimbledon has a more relaxed approach to what it hopes spectators wear during the two weeks of matches at the All England Club in SW19. Yet, while there is a freedom to explore and no set textbook, Wimbledon certainly has a look none the less. You could say that dressing for Wimbledon is English fashion at its most quintessential. During The Championships, there's a shared approach from the congregation to choose pieces that are polite, demure and with a sporting angle, be it a Ralph Lauren polo shirt or a pleated skirt that mirrors what is worn in play. For the big-name celebrities in attendance thus far, the 2025 championships have proven no different as a slurry of A-list names have put on their prettiest, preppiest outfits to take in Centre Court. Olivias Rodrigo and Dean have been amongst the standout sartorial champions, both donning sweet summer dresses. By contrast, Cate Blanchett chose an Armani suit to sit in the Royal Box. Of course, there's one person who does Wimbledon dressing best: the Princess of Wales. While Catherine is yet to make an appearance at the 2025 games, there have been some brilliant outfits to observe. Here, ELLE's best dressed of Wimbledon 2025. The British musician wore a butter yellow dress with a brown handbag and pointed white shoes. Fresh from Glastonbury, the popstar wore a gingham dress from Ralph Lauren's SS00 collection. In keeping with the on-court white, Mann wore a full Dior look. The actor chose a double-breasted suit by Giorgio Armani and carried a Louis Vuitton bag. The presenter chose a pair of capris by Conner Ives. Artist Collings-James wore a perfectly pitched outfit for the sporting event, complete with Gucci bag and neckerchief. Match point. Regan did top-to-toe Thom Browne for her trip to SW19. Amfo riffed on ball-girl style with her striped two-piece. Freelancer
