A PUB chain has collapsed into administration with six sites shutting their doors for good.

According to the BBC, the following sites have ceased trading: Beech House, Watford, Hertfordshire Grand Junction Arms, Tring, Hertfordshire King's Head, Chipping Ongar, Essex Navigation Inn, Lapworth, Warwickshire Journeyman, Gerrards Cross, Buckinghamshire The George Inn, Ludlow, Shropshire Meanwhile the following sites have been taken over: The Three Locks, Stoke Hammond, Buckinghamshire The Beech House, Amersham, Buckinghamshire The Beech House, Beaconsfield, Buckinghamshire The Beech House, Solihull, West Midlands The Beech House, St Albans, Hertfordshire The Betsey Wynne, Swanbourne, Buckinghamshire The Four Alls, Welford on Avon, Warwickshire The Kings Arms, Berkhamsted, Hertfordshire The Lost Boy, Farnham, Hampshire The Navigation Inn, Cosgrove, Northamptonshire The Old Post Office, Wallingford, Oxfordshire The Penny Farthing, Berkhamsted, Hertfordshire The Red Lion, Water End, Hertfordshire Ross Connock, joint administrator at PwC, blamed "significant" challenges in the UK hospitality sector for the chains troubles. He said: "The hospitality sector continues to face significant and persistent challenges, including a reduction in customer numbers, which has been driven by changing consumer habits and broader economic pressures. "In addition, operators are contending with rising operating costs, such as increased energy prices, higher food and beverage costs, and wage inflation.'

People are stunned model's travel outfit didn't get her banned as they say ‘I'm surprised they let you board like that'
A PASSENGER has come under fire after showing off her ''attention-seeking'' outfit on the plane. Fashion lover and model Anabel Acosta left fellow passengers and social media users gobsmacked for all the wrong reasons after boarding the plane. 2 While others had opted for a more casual and comfortable ensemble, such as plain T-shirt, the ''world traveller'' had gone out with a shocking outfit. In the now-viral video, which has taken the internet by storm, the fitness lover showed off her curvy backside and toned back that was fully exposed. The blonde beauty, from Florida, the US, had opted to rock figure-hugging low-rise jeans which she had teamed with a barely-there top. Although it's not known what the garment looked like from the front, the bizarre item gave the illusion she was not wearing anything on top. All chuffed and excited for the journey ahead, Anabel could be seen making her way down to her seat. However, as she was walking down the aisle, fellow passengers couldn't help but take a double-look, as they were totally baffled. One guy, for instance, noticed the young model walking past and then went back to looking at his phone. But trying to process what he had just witnessed, the stunned passenger looked up again and turned his head back to Anabel, with sheer confusion on his face. ''Can you guess where I'm flying to?'' the model, who boasts over 1.7million followers on Instagram, wrote in the caption. Unsurprisingly, the shocking footage has since gone viral, amassing more than an astronomical 131million views. I'm mad after being told to 'cover up' in the pub garden at Spoons But while the woman may have not thought much of her shocking outfit, people on social media all seemed to agree on one thing - the ensemble was not fit for a plane journey. Over 600,000 people flooded to comments, where Anabel came under a barrage of abuse for ''seeking attention'' so brazenly. ''This is what happens when your parents don't love you enough,'' wrote one person. Can you be dress coded for wearing crop tops in public? The concept of being "dress coded" typically applies to specific environments such as schools, workplaces, or certain establishments where dress codes are enforced to maintain a particular standard or atmosphere. In public spaces, however, the situation is generally more relaxed and governed by societal norms rather than strict rules. That said, whether or not you can be dress coded for wearing a crop top in public largely depends on the context and location: Public Spaces: In most public spaces, like parks, streets, and beaches, wearing a crop top is generally acceptable and unlikely to result in any formal repercussions. People have the freedom to dress as they choose, provided they adhere to basic standards of decency and local laws. Establishments and Venues: Some restaurants, shops, or clubs may have their own dress codes. It's possible that a crop top might not meet the dress requirements for more formal venues. In such cases, staff may politely request that you adhere to their dress code or deny entry. Schools and Workplaces: Educational institutions and workplaces often have dress codes in place. Crop tops may be considered inappropriate in these settings, and you could be asked to change into more suitable attire. Cultural and Regional Considerations: In certain cultures or regions, norms and expectations around acceptable clothing can vary widely. It's always a good idea to be aware of and respect local customs and dress codes when travelling. Another agreed, commenting: ''Dear parents, give your kids enough attention. If you not, they will do stupid things like this as adults.'' Someone else chimed in: ''I'm surprised they let you board like that.'' ''I would be offended to see her on a plane. This is not appropriate attire for an airplane,'' a horrified social media user added. Amongst the thousands of comments were also guesses where the travelling fan was headed to, which included ''the strip club'' and ''attention island''.

Harry Maguire issues statement to confirm Manchester United U-turn
Manchester United have flown out to the USA pre-season tour, landing in Chicago, but Harry Maguire was conspicuous by his absence as the Red Devils landed Stateside Harry Maguire has confirmed he will join Manchester United on their pre-season tour of the United States after missing their flight on Tuesday. England defender Maguire came on at half-time in the 0-0 draw with Leeds United in Stockholm on Saturday. But he had to be replaced in the second half by Tyler Fredricson. On Tuesday afternoon, the 32-year-old was not part of the 32-man United squad that flew out to Chicago for the Premier League summer series - with United taking on West Ham, Bournemouth, and Everton. The headline inclusion was new signing Bryan Mbeumo, who finally completed a £71million transfer from Brentford on Monday. Goalkeeper Andre Onana is also on the plane, as he steps up his recovery from a hamstring injury which he sustained in the first week of pre-season training. Mirror Football reported last week that United are hoping to welcome Onana, 29, back for their third and final friendly in the USA against Everton. But Maguire was conspicuous by his absence. However, he has now sought to allay any fears over his injury on social media. He said: "All is fine now. I will be travelling tomorrow (Wednesday) to meet up with the squad. Thanks for your concern." Looking ahead to the tour stateside, Reds boss Amorim was asked what he was looking forward to about their trip to North America. "[Meeting fans] it [was] the same in the last tour," he said. "We feel that they [the fans] deserve more in every aspect so we are going to give. "I think it is our responsibility to interact with our fans and we have that in our group. We are going to do that. And also in that department, we are going to be closer, [that's] what Manchester United should be." A number of youngsters have been named in Amorim's squad including goalkeepers Dermot Mee and Will Murdock, defenders Fredricson and Ayden Heaven, midfielders Toby Collyer, Jack Fletcher and Sekou Kone, and forwards Bendito Mantato, Chido Obi and Ethan Williams. United's first game is against West Ham and will be played at midnight UK time on Saturday at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey, where next year's World Cup final will be held. Amorim's men will then take on Bournemouth at 2:30am next Thursday, July 31 in Chicago. Finally, the Red Devils are scheduled to play Everton at 10pm on Saturday, August 3 in Atlanta. Their run of friendlies ends with Fiorentina at Old Trafford a week later.
