THE HISTORY OF PENNEYS

THE Penneys brand grew from humble beginnings on Dublin's Mary Street, where it opened its first store in 1969.

Known as Primark outside Ireland, the company was the brainchild of Garfield Weston, who hired Dubliner Arthur Ryan to make his vision reality.

Penneys branched into the UK in 1973 with its first store opening in Derby. The UK now has 191 Primark stores in total.

However, the Penneys name could not travel to Britain as the American retailer JC Penney had the right to use the name in the region.

And in 2006, the expansion into Europe began with an opening in Spain, followed by the Netherlands, Portugal, Germany, Belgium, Austria, France and Italy.

Primark went Stateside for the first time in September 2015, with the opening of a store in Boston. There are now 27 stores in America with branches in Florida, Brooklyn, Pennsylvania and New Jersey.

The retailer’s opened its largest store in Birmingham in 2019.

It spans five floors and features Primark’s biggest beauty studio to date, a barbers and three restaurants.

Three stabbed in mass brawl during sex party at mansion where Bonnie Blue slept with 1,057 men in 12 hours

THREE men were stabbed during a mass brawl at a sex party staged by self-style Lord Eddie Davenport.

A bloodbath erupted at his notorious Marylebone Mansion in Portland Place, central London.

The trouble is suspected to have involved drug dealers operating at the sex party.

A group of men used knives to stab party-goers during the fight at 7am on Sunday.

Cops and paramedics were called to the sleazy address, where Bonnie Blue recently slept with more than a 1,000 men in 12 hours.

Emergency workers were confronted with a bloodbath when they arrived.

One source said: “There was blood everywhere with people lying injured all over the place.

“It looked like a battle scene rather than a sex club.”

Four men were taken to hospital with injuries.

Three of them had stab wounds though none of the injured were left in a life-threatening condition.

Police arrested three men on suspicion of causing grievous bodily harm and drug supply offences.

A Met Police spokesperson said: “Police were called to an address at Portland Place, W1 at 07:00hrs on Sunday, 23 February following reports of an assault.

“Officers attended with the London Ambulance Service and four men were taken to hospital.

“Three of the victims had sustained stab wounds. Their injuries are not believed to be life-threatening.

“Police arrested three men, including one man on suspicion of GBH and possession with intent to supply, one man on suspicion of GBH and another man on suspicion of possession with intent to supply.”

It is understood the arrested men have been bailed.

Police have taken out a Section 76 Closure Notice on the property to prevent access to it and the risk of further disruption.

Convicted fraudster Davenport, 58, last year managed to stop police from shutting down his parties at the £15 million mansion.

Officers had been called 63 times to incidents involving his property following parties, thanks to noise complaints, alleged drug use, and rowdy partygoers.

The mansion block was used by 25-year-old Bonnie Blue – real name Tia Bellinger – to sleep with more than 1,000 men in 12 hours.

She revealed how she was left covered in bruises and bite marks from the controversial sex marathon.

Davenport told The Sun this week: “The whole day was the craziest I’ve ever experienced.

“Men queued from the basement to the top floor in balaclavas and a lot lost their virginities that day.”

Davenport – also known as Fast Eddie – made his name by organising Gatecrasher Balls for wealthy young toffs in the late 1980’s.

He was convicted in 2011 of an advance-fee fraud and jailed for seven years and eight months.

The socialite later set up his sex party business at the mansion block formerly owned by the Sierra Leone government.

Davenport controversially acquired a lease on the building for £50,000 in the late 1990’s and later began staging orgies there.

My tiredness was blamed on ‘hay fever’ – then I collapsed and nearly died after I got ‘true diagnosis’

An image collage containing 1 images, Image 1 shows Photo of Ben Parker and his partner Sam

WHEN Ben Parker started to feel tired his GP told him it was “seasonal allergies”.

It was April 2018 and prime time for hay fever, but when his symptoms failed to budge, he returned to the doctor and was given a life-changing diagnosis.

But tests revealed he had a rare autoimmune disease – complement 3 glomerulopathy (C3G)[/caption]

The 42-year-old dad was diagnosed with a rare autoimmune disease that affects the kidneys.

Back when his symptoms began, Ben had just returned from a holiday in Australia when he noticed he was “lethargic” but put it down to a chest infection.

While his GP initially told him it was “seasonal allergies”, further tests revealed his kidneys were only functioning at around 15 to 20 per cent.

Ben was diagnosed with complement 3 glomerulopathy (C3G) – an immune system disorder that causes severe damage to the kidney and affects just one in every 500,000 people in the UK.

Ben was able to have a kidney transplant six years ago but has now deteriorated again and is back on dialysis.

He has now opted for at home dialysis – but is currently having to use his seven-year-old daughter Aveline’s room for treatment.

The family are fundraising to convert their garage into a treatment room.

Ben, an NHS Admin Assistant from Barnsley, South Yorks., said: “I just felt really tired and lethargic.

“I went to see my GP who initially said it was seasonal allergies.”

His partner Sam Parker, 39, a teacher said: “Our daughter doesn’t have a bedroom now, she can’t get to any of her stuff.

“I think she’d like it to go back to how it was, she often talks about when the machine is moved out.”

Ben received his diagnosis in June 2018.

After a year of travelling to the hospital for dialysis, Ben got the call that he had been approved for a kidney transplant in April 2019.

He said: “I came home from work and received a call saying I needed to come to the hospital immediately, it was the most stressful drive I’ve ever had.

“It was rush hour, and we had to get there as soon as possible.

“You just have to drop everything and go.”

Our daughter doesn’t have a bedroom now, she can’t get to any of her stuff

Sam Parker

The transplant gave Ben four years of improved health but by late 2023, his health began to deteriorate again and he was facing the reality of returning to a life on dialysis.

This time, Ben and his partner Samantha opted for home dialysis to allow him to be closer to his family.

When he applied for funding to convert the garage into a treatment room, Ben was told he didn’t meet the criteria.

Sam said: “We got a letter saying we’re not getting any funding because we already have a room we can use.

“We were like, yeah, but it’s our daughter’s bedroom – that was a temporary solution.”

Ben’s daughter now has to sleep in her parent’s bedroom when he uses the dialysis machine late in the evening.

The couple has since launched a GoFundMe page that has raised over £6,500.

Sam said: “It got to the point where we thought, we’re not waiting anymore, this could take months.

“The page has been really successful, it’s just taken off, we’ve got enough money to do the build now.”

Ben’s daughter was just nine months old when he was first diagnosed, and he says his health has prevented him spending time with her in the way he’d hoped.

Sam said: “After having biopsies, Ben wasn’t allowed to do any heavy lifting, so he couldn’t even pick her up for six weeks, she didn’t understand why he couldn’t pick her up.

“That obviously led to difficulties at home because I had to feed her and be there all the time to do everything for her because he couldn’t pick her up.

He was lucky strangers found him. If he’d stayed at home, he would probably have died

Sam Parker

“Also when his health is deteriorating, he doesn’t have the energy to play with her. He can’t go swimming because he’s got a catheter line.”

One afternoon, Ben took his daughter for a walk alone and suddenly suffered a seizure in due to fluid build up on his brain due to his chronic kidney disease.

Sam said: “He was lucky strangers found him.

“If he’d stayed at home, he would probably have died.”

What are the signs and symptoms of C3G?

Complement 3 glomerulopathy (C3G) is a rare kidney disease caused by an overactive or faulty complement system. 

The complement system is part of the body’s immune system that helps fight infections. 

According to the National Kidney Foundation. common signs and symptoms are:

  • Blood in the urine (hematuria)
  • Excess protein in the urine (proteinuria)
  • Reduced glomerular filtration rate (GFR; reduced ability of the kidney to filter the blood and make urine), elevated creatinine
  • Fatigue
  • Swelling (edema) of hands, feet, ankles

Speak to your GP if you experience any of these symptoms.

Towie’s Jodie reveals results of her boob job as she details exact size after getting back together with Diags

TOWIE star Jodie Wells has gushed over the results of her recent boob job after reuniting with boyfriend James “Diags” Bennewith.

The mum of one admitted she was “over the moon” with her breast augmentation, before proceeding to give her Instagram fans further detail.

Jodie, 33, who was a TOWIE extra before joining the cast full-time, uploaded two similar snaps showing her stretched out on a bed.

She donned a brown skin-fit strappy vest with a plunging neckline to show off her new chest to best effect.

The ITVBe favourite flashed a pout in her first image, taken from above, which saw her poker-straight brunette locks flowing over her shoulders.

In her second snap, she gave a smile as she looked straight into the camera lense.

In her caption, Jodie admitted: “I am still absolutely over the moon with how my [cherry Emoji] augmentation turned out with @myacosmeticsurgery.

“I have had so many questions about it and here are some answers for you!!”

She then posted: “Surgeon – Mr Samouris. Size- 325cc. Whole experience- 11/10.”

In a separate video, posted to MYA Cosmetic Surgery’s YouTube page, Jodie spoke about the reasons for going under the knife.

She told how she had “always wanted to have my boobs done” and added: “I have been thinking about and wanted a breast enlargement for a long time, because I have had a baby, and I feel like the elasticity in my boobs has slightly gone.

“I just want to feel my confident self again.”

HAPPY CHAPTER

It comes after The Sun was first to reveal how Jodie and Diags are back on after their heartbreaking split – with their reunion playing out on TOWIE’s Bali trip.

Last month, we reported how the pair had broken up after first getting together in 2023.

Yet after deciding to give their romance another stab, they now have the full cast backing them.

A source told us: “Jodie and Diags have had some time apart to reassess things and have realised that they want to give their relationship another go.

TOWIE STARS SPIN OFF

WITH the announcement TOWIE will return in 2025 for two new series, it's good news for some former ITVBE stars, too

TWO of the show’s best loved former stars will celebrate their own big life moments with a spin off series featuring Tommy Mallet and Georgia Kousoulou.

Their new show title is currently unconfirmed.

The pair, who first met and found love on TOWIE back in 2014, finally say ‘I Do’ in a three part special produced by Objective Entertainment.

The show will follow on from the success of their Baby Steps series.

“It’s still early stages but they are hoping to reconcile properly and work things out.

“Jodie has a young child and wants to do the best for him.

“She believes Diags still loves her and if they both put the graft in, they believe it will work.

“The pair are dating again and have the full support of the rest of the Towie cast.

“It’s complicated but they’re ready to iron out any issues after getting advice from their friends and having some time apart.”

Reality show fans will get to see how their romance plays out on the next series.

The bargain hunter explained that her children go through toiletries at a ‘crazy’ rate[/caption]

She posted pictures of her savings on the Facebook group Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK.

According to the mum, she found some of her bargain buys on “the normal shelves”, while others could be found in the reduced section.

“Apparently they have a number of lines they are no longer stocking so are reduced to clear,” she told her fellow Facebook users.

And despite the shockingly low prices, the poster said all her Asda buys had “really long dates”.

Her haul included everything from cereal and snacks to cleaning buys and toiletries.

“I bought all the Radox Shower gel bottles on the shelf as it’s the one I use but the rest, there were loads left on the shelves,” she explained.

“It may seem a lot to buy but I have six children, including four teenagers, so we get through a lot of food and the amount of shower gel we get through is crazy.”

The photos in the post showed the size of her impressive shopping spree.

She picked up 10 bottles of Radox Shower Gel, which normally retails at £1.44, for just 50p each.

The mum also purchased four Radox Shower Gel refill pouches at 88p each, these are available on Asda’s website for £1.73.

She picked up a Carex Hand Soap refill pouch, reduced from £3.50 to 80p.

The mum also stocked up on five Cussons Creations hand wash for half off, at 50p each.

She made significant savings on a 64-pack of Finish Dishwasher Tablets after the price was slashed from £11.38 to £2.98.

Also included in the haul were six tubes of £1.50 Colgate Sensitive Toothpaste, which were 50% off, and three tubes of Colgate Cool Stripes Toothpaste, reduced from £3 to 75p each.

She picked up two bottles of the Zoflora Multi-Purpose Cleaning Spray, which was available for 50% off at £1.25.

How to save at Asda

Shop the budget range

Savvy shopper Eilish Stout-Cairns recommends that shoppers grab items from Asda’s Just Essentials range.

She said: “Asda’s budget range is easy to spot as it’s bright yellow! Keep your eyes peeled for yellow and you’ll find their Just Essentials range.

“It’s great value and I’ve found it has a much wider selection of budget items compared to other supermarkets.

 Sign up to Asda Rewards 

The savvy-saver also presses on the importance of signing up to Asda’s reward scheme.

She said: “Asda Rewards is free to join and if you shop at Asda you should absolutely sign up.

“As an Asda Rewards member, you’ll get exclusive discounts and offers, and you’ll also be able to earn 10% cashback on Star Products.

“This will go straight into your cashpot, and once you’ve earned at least £1, you can transfer the money in your cashpot into ASDA vouchers.

We’ve previously rounded up the best supermarket loyalty schemes – including the ones that will save you the most money.

Look out for booze deals

Eilish always suggests that shoppers looking to buy booze look out for bargain deals.

She said: “Asda often has an alcohol offer on: buy six bottles and save 25%.

“The offer includes selected bottles with red, white and rose options, as well as prosecco. There are usually lots of popular bottles included, for example, Oyster Bay Hawkes Bay Merlot, Oyster Bay Hawkes Bay Merlot and Freixenet Prosecco D.O.C.

“Obviously, the more expensive the bottles you choose, the more you save.”

Join Facebook groups

The savvy saver also recommends that fans of Asda join Facebook groups to keep in the know about the latest bargains in-store.

Eilish said: “I recommend joining the Latest Deals Facebook Group to find out about the latest deals and new launches in store.

“Every day, more than 250,000 deal hunters share their latest bargain finds and new releases. 

“For example, recently a member shared a picture of Asda’s new Barbie range spotted in store.

“Another member shared the bargain outdoor plants she picked up, including roses for 47p, blackcurrant bushes for 14p and topiary trees for 14p.”

The mum also nabbed a six-pack of Appletiser, which normally costs £3.24 for just 25p.

An eight-pack Rice Krispie Squares was reduced from £3 to 75p, with the Facebook user adding three to her trolley.

She also picked up six boxes of Cheerios, which normally cost £3.50 a-piece for just 28p each.

There were six boxes of Pop Tarts in the haul, reduced from £3 each to just 75p.

And while her two 500 gram tins of KP Nuts only cost her £1.05 each, a 250 gram bag would set you back £3.25 on the Asda Website.

The mum also picked up seven 32p Quakers Oats Pots, which normally retail for £1.29.

Finally, she added two tins of Bisto Gravy Granules to her trolley for just £1.86, a half-off special.

In total, a shopping haul that should’ve set the mum back £136.09 only cost her £44.11, saving her a whopping £91.98.

Facebook users shared their thoughts on the impressive savings in the comments section.

“What an amazing shop,” wrote one impressed commenter.

“Wow this is excellent. I wish we had an Asda near,” said another person.

“From a family of four, two of them being teenagers. That is not a lot. Congratulations on your bargains,” commented a third Facebook user.
