HISTORY OF MARKS & SPENCER
WHEN Michael Marks, an immigrant from the north of England, was able to obtain a stall in Leeds' Kirkgate Market in 1884, M&S was born.
He used the catchphrase "Don't ask the price, it's a 'penny'" to build his career after arriving with little money and minimal command of English.
His little booth selling basic home goods was rapidly booming because of this simple idea and his diligent work.
Michael teamed up with Dewhirst wholesalers' cashier Tom Spencer to help his expanding firm.
This collaboration gave rise to "Marks & Spencer" and its initial Penny Bazaar locations, which helped the company take shape as we know it today.
More than 15,000 purchases were made on the first day of trading.

Thurles racecourse announces closure with immediate effect
THURLES RACECOURSE HAS closed with immediate effect and fixtures which had been scheduled for later in the year will not go ahead. The first ever recorded race-meeting at Thurles took place in 1732 and it has been in the hands of the Molony family since the early 1900s. Riona Molony announced the closure in a statement this morning. She thanked the 'extended racecourse family', such as staff, sponsors, the racing community, local businesses, and racegoers for their support. 'It has been an honour and a privilege for our family to have run Thurles Racecourse, and I am officially announcing our retirement today,' said Riona Molony. She said she is 'very proud of the immense contribution our family has made to racing' and remarked that 'horse-racing is part of the fabric of our family'. Advertisement 'My family and I look forward to going racing with you again, as spectators,' she added. The parade ring at Thurles Racecourse Alamy Stock Photo Alamy Stock Photo Her late husband Pierce Molony, who died in 2015, took over the running of the Co Tipperary racecourse from his father Dr Paddy Molony in 1974. 'Since my beloved husband Pierce passed away, with the help of our four daughters Patricia, Helen, Ann Marie and Kate and our wonderful staff, we've managed to keep the show on the road and I know he would be very proud of us for that,' said Riona. She added: 'The girls all have their own families, careers and lives to live. 'Ever increasing industry demands and the cost of doing business has also been a major factor.' Thurles Racecourse is fully licenced to race until 31 December and has 11 prominent fixtures scheduled for the 2025/26 racing calendar. However, these meetings will not go ahead. Riona added: 'We're going to enjoy this time together and relax now the decision is made and the news is out before we consider our options.' 'Surprise to everyone in the industry' The CEO of Horse Racing Ireland, Suzanne Eade, described Thurles Racecourse as a 'cornerstone of the National Hunt programme in Ireland during the winter months'. She said today's announcement 'was a surprise to everyone in the industry'. However, she added that the announcement must have been a 'hugely difficult one' and that she 'respects their decision to take a step back from running racing at Thurles'. Eade remarked that Pierce Molony 'contributed significantly to the Irish racing industry for many years and the Molony family, led by Riona, certainly stepped up following his untimely passing' The Horse Racing Ireland CEO added that she will be seeking a meeting with the Molony family in the near future to discuss their position.

Fancy coffee shop swamped with protests after fed-up customer reveals she was charged for having croissant cut in half
A FANCY coffee shop in northern Italy has been swamped with protests after a fed-up customer revealed she was charged extra for having her croissant cut in half. The woman, who has not been named in local media, visited Audrey Patisserie in Oderzo on Sunday for breakfast, ordering two coffees and a pastry. 4 Staff at Audrey's Bakery in Oderzo, Italy, charged a customer for cutting a croissant in half Credit: Newsflash 4 A woman cutting the pastry into two at the Italian coffee shop Credit: Newsflash 4 The bill shows an extra €0.10 charge for the halved croissant Credit: Newsflash But when she asked staff to slice the croissant so she could share it with her mother, she later discovered an extra €0.10 (around 9p) charge on the bill. Fuming, she shared the receipt online, writing: 'It's not about the cost, it's the principle.' Her post spread like wildfire, sparking an avalanche of fury from social media users. One user blasted: 'You have to hate your customers to charge them €0.10 to cut a croissant in half. Read more world news 'A total lack of elegance, refinement, and empathy. 'They should bring hotel management students to your restaurant to show them how not to treat your customers. Pathetic.' Another piled on: 'Disgusting cappuccino and they ask 10 cents to cut a croissant in half, never again, how squalid.' A third raged: '€0.10 what a disgrace… just to cut a croissant!!!' Most read in The US Sun The backlash left café owner Massimiliano Viotto under siege, as his shop was bombarded with negative reviews. He said: 'We were flooded with one-star reviews from people who have never even visited our shop. Customer Charged Surprise $5 'Bitching Fee' at Pizzeria After Speaking Up 'Our Google rating dropped from 4.5 to 3.5, but we're confident it will recover with time and dedication.' Viotto denied the charge was a rip-off, even though it doesn't appear on the menu, claiming it covers the use of an extra plate and napkin and the 'skill' needed to cut a pastry. Bafflingly, a photo from the café shows a staff member simply snipping through a croissant with a pair of scissors while steadying it with a fork. He insisted: 'It's not a scam. It is a conscious choice that we defend with pride.' The row adds to Italy's growing reputation for bizarre summer surcharges. Last year, a woman in Arezzo revealed she was slapped with a £50 fee to cut her own birthday cake in a restaurant. And it's not the only baffling bill making headlines. A man has told how he was left scratching his head after a local restaurant added a mysterious 'S Charge' to his tab. The 2.75% extra fee — around 70 cents — appeared despite him paying in cash, meaning it couldn't be a card surcharge. Posting the receipt online, he wrote: 'After eating at a local restaurant I noticed a charge on the receipt I did not recognize and have never seen before. 'I emailed the contact listed on their website a week ago but never received a response. 'Can someone tell me what is the S Charge (2.75%)? Can't be a credit card up charge since I paid cash.' The post sparked heated debate, with most guessing it was some form of service charge. 4 The café owner defended the charge, claiming it covers an extra plate and napkin and 'skill' Credit: Newsflash

Iceland Foods returns to Limerick with a twist – two years after sudden store closure
Opening on August 8, the new concession marks a fresh chapter for the frozen food retailer, whose previous Limerick store shut down abruptly in 2023 after its parent company, Metron Stores Ltd, entered liquidation. That closure left staff without jobs and customers without access to the popular range of frozen goods. The new outlet will offer over 200 products, including Iceland's own-brand items and exclusive lines from popular UK names like Greggs, Slimming World, TGI Friday's, and Harry Ramsden's. The Limerick location is part of Iceland's growing partnership with Dunnes Stores, following successful store-within-a-store launches in Dublin and Terryland. Justin Addison, International and Partnerships Director at Iceland Foods, said: 'We're delighted to bring Iceland back to Limerick through our continued partnership with Dunnes. 'This new format allows us to offer great value and exclusive products to more Irish customers, and we look forward to a successful future in the city.' The move is expected to be well received by Limerick shoppers who had missed the brand since its sudden exit in 2023.
