Enjoy a Taste of Italy With Luscombe Sicilian Citrus Crush
A lightly sparkling citrus classic, this vibrant Sicilian Citrus Crush is lovingly crafted by Luscombe using only the carefully selected juice of organic Sicilian oranges and lemons grown in the volcanic soils of Mount Etna.
Famed as some of the best in the world, Luscombe sources Sicilian oranges and lemons from farmers growing them in Sicily's rich soils.
Having spent nine years living in Sicily, Luscombe's founder Gabriel knows the long days of glorious sunshine that give the fruit an intense sweetness to balance their natural acidity. In their home in Devon, Luscombe then expertly blends the juices with their own source of Dartmoor spring water, bringing a rounded depth to the zesty infusion of fresh citrus.
Bursting with flavour and leaving the palate feeling nicely refreshed, Sicilian Citrus Crush is exquisite when paired with seafood, calamari, Dublin Bay prawns, shellfish, smoked salmon and egg dishes like scrambled egg, frittata and omelettes.
Originally created in honour of Gabriel's grandmother's favourite non-alcoholic tipple of orange juice and bitter lemon, Sicilian Citrus Crush is extremely versatile. Just serve chilled over ice and enjoy, mix with your favourite premium spirit or use to elevate cocktails.
Royal Warrant Holder, Luscombe's Sicilian Citrus Crush can be purchased from luscombe.co.uk in single serving bottles (12x27cl bottles, £26.50) or sharing bottles (6x74cl, £27.40).
Like all the drinks in Luscombe's range Sicilian Citrus Crush contains nothing artificial, no artificial additives, sweeteners or concentrates and is gluten free and vegan friendly.
Sicilian Citrus Crush is joined by other crushes in Luscombe's portfolio including Rhubarb Crush, Sparkling Apple Crush, Raspberry Crush and Lime Crush and won two stars at this year's Great Taste Awards.
Luscombe's exceptional tasting range includes premium organic fruit juices, crushes, bubblies, tonic waters and mixers plus a traditional organic Devon cider. They have been producing beautiful, lovingly crafted drinks on a farm in Devon since 1975.
Gabriel has become renowned for his pursuit of perfection and no compromise approach to creating an elegant and multi award-winning range of drinks, which only use the very finest organic ingredients blended with Dartmoor spring water. The team takes great pride that all of their drinks are made from gently pressed organic ingredients, picked at their ripest in the climates where they grow best.
Dangerous TikTok trends warning to parents
Multiple TikTok trends have resulted in tragedy, such as the blackout and chroming challenge, rising concerns for children's safety on the app.
According to a recent study, 42% of children spend over four hours on their phones daily, making them more susceptible than ever to being exposed to inappropriate content.
Parents are being urged to ensure their children are not putting themselves at risk by following dangerous trends on social media.
Phone experts at SellCell have revealed some of the most concerning social media challenges and are encouraging parents to keep tabs on what their children are accessing on their phones.
This comes after research unveiled 42 per cent of children spend over four hours per day on their phone, making them more susceptible to inappropriate and unsafe content.
Although TikTok was reportedly designed to be a platform where users can share and watch entertaining short videos, the rise of challenges means young users may be encouraged to take part in dangerous tasks.
Although 88% per of parents monitor their kids’ phone use and know their passwords, with the excessive amount of videos on the platform, it’s tricky to keep track of what their children are exposed to.
TikTok has seen multiple dangerous trends which have resulted in tragedies, raising concerns for children's safety on the app and highlighting the urgent need for parental supervision.
Trends such as the blackout, chroming and Cha Cha Slide challenge have already claimed the lives of young children who were trying to get noticed on the platform by jumping on board with the extreme and dangerous trends.
With kids getting their hands on phones earlier than ever now, some even at the early ages of one to two, they haven’t fully developed critical thinking skills to accurately assess the potential risks of participating in dangerous fads.
Parents are encouraged to monitor their child's online presence, educate kids about the potential dangers on social media and use safety features, such as restricted mode to reduce mature content or family safety mode to pair the children’s accounts with theirs.
Sarah McConomy, who is the COO of SellCell said: “The pressure to fit in and be popular on social media can cloud young people's judgement, making them ignore the possible consequences of harmful trends on TikTok.
“With kids spending more time on their phones than ever before, of course their exposure to inappropriate content naturally increases.
“TikTok operates on an algorithm, pushing videos in front of kids without them searching for them, so it’s possible they'll stumble on content that is explicit, dangerous, or otherwise unsuitable for their age.
“Despite efforts to regulate content, not all inappropriate or harmful videos can be filtered out effectively.
“A combination of guidance, education, and monitoring is crucial to ensure children have a safe online experience.”
SellCell has compiled a list of some of the most dangerous trends on social media:
Borg challenge
The Borg or blackout rage gallon challenge involves filling a gallon jug with equal parts water and vodka, along with caffeinated flavour enhancers and electrolyte powders, in an attempt to create a hangover-proof drink. People assume the presence of water and electrolytes in the borg cocktail makes them less dangerous but it’s untrue. The large servings make it harder to moderate drinking, leading people to consume an excessive amount of alcohol.
Mouth taping during sleep
This trend involves using a piece of tape to keep the mouth shut to only breathe out of the nose while sleeping, claiming to improve sleep quality and prevent snoring. While nose breathing during sleep can have some health benefits compared to breathing via your mouth, using tape to close your mouth isn't a solution. Participating in this trend has several risks, such as obstructed breathing, irritation from the tape, disrupted sleep and choking hazards. It’s especially dangerous for people who have sleep apnoea and other sleep disorders.
Blackout challenge
The blackout challenge is one of the most dangerous trends to hit TikTok, resulting in several deaths. The participants of the challenge are encouraged to hold their breath or choke themselves with household items until they pass out. Users post videos of the adrenaline rush they get when regaining consciousness, encouraging kids too young to grasp the risk to try the challenge.
Chroming
The chroming trend revolves around users challenging each other to inhale fumes from toxic sources, such as aerosol cans, spray deodorants, paint containers or nail polish removers. The aim of the challenge is to create a temporary high, however the participants are not aware of the dangerous side effects chroming includes. Participating in this trend can lead to serious health risks such as heart attack, seizures, suffocation, coma, choking, or fatal injury, and may even cause permanent organ damage.
Fake piercings with magnets
In this trend, people are using small magnetic balls, commonly sold as creative toys, as fake facial and tongue piercings. It can be extremely dangerous if these magnets are accidentally swallowed, as ingesting more than one means that they’ll be forced together, squeezing the intestines and bowels and threatening blood flow.
Benadryl challenge
This challenge involves taking large doses of Benadryl, an over-the-counter antiallergic drug, to trigger hallucinations. The participants take nearly double the recommended daily dosage of the medication in a short period of time and film their side effects. Consuming an excessive amount of allergy medication could lead to heart problems, seizures, coma, or even death.
Cha Cha Slide
The Cha Cha Slide challenge sounds like it’s a fun and safe trend, but in reality it’s one of the most dangerous trends making the rounds on TikTok. The trend encourages teens to drive recklessly to the beat of the famous Cha Cha Slide song by DJ Casper. Drivers are swerving their cars left and right before sharply turning in both directions at the "crisscross" part of the lyrics. This can lead to careless drivers veering into oncoming traffic and causing life-threatening accidents.
The deodorant challenge
This trend sees youngsters spraying deodorant closely onto their bare skin for as long as possible to make it feel ice-cold. Following this trend can leave kids with severe and nasty burns, as the pressurised gas in aerosol cans creates a sharp cooling effect on skin, causing the skin to freeze. Some kids who have taken part in the challenge have been left with injuries that require years to heal, requiring plastic surgery.

DukesHill Launches Exciting New Wild British Game Collection
A rich and robust tasting Venison Wellington and a Three Bird Roast of pheasant, partridge and pigeon are just some of the highlights of the new range.
Established in 1985 in the West of England rural county of Shropshire curing ham using time-honoured traditional techniques, DukesHill's reputation and range continues to grow with the introduction of the new Wild British Game Collection.
Naturally lean, packed full of flavour and guaranteed to be 100% British, the new wild game is responsibly sourced from approved British estates who ensure all game is handled and cared for properly.
Following popular demand, DukesHill's new collection of British game has been introduced after becoming the most requested product category from its customers.
DukesHill is renowned for championing artisan producers whose skilled use of unique and traditional methods create outstanding food and flavours. With an true uncompromising commitment to sourcing and creating delicious British produce with the highest regard for animal welfare, DukesHill's new Wild British Game Collection carries the British Game Assurance (BGA) stamp, and offers the very best in quality, provenance and taste.
Louisa Clutterbuck, CEO of British Game Assurance and Eat Wild said: “Compared with traditional farmed meats, wild game is astonishingly versatile; the flavour profiles of one type of bird are completely different to another, giving you plenty of room to experiment in your kitchen. It's also lean, high in protein, and low in fat, thus making it a healthy alternative.
"What's more it's supremely free range and has a lower carbon footprint than many other meats. DukesHill's new Wild British Game Collection celebrates all of this, and better still, all the meat within the collection is BGA-assured, meaning it's guaranteed to be high quality and sustainably sourced.
"At BGA, we ensure that shoots across the country follow high welfare standards with our independently-audited Assurance Scheme, allowing a reliable and reassuring route for game meat to make its way into the market and onto our plates. We seal it with a BGA stamp of approval; the game equivalent of the Red Tractor stamp.”
Wild British Game Collection
Venison Loin Fillet - £28 (min 450g)
Sourced from approved British estates supporting the British Game Assurance scheme, DukesHill's wild Venison Loin Fillet is of the highest welfare standards. A tender and succulent fillet, it's versatile with a delicate flavour and is perfect for frying or roasting.
Venison Wellington - £38 (min 700g)
A luxury twist on a classic British dish, this Venison Wellington makes for a delicious dinner centrepiece with a rich and robust game flavour. Tender British venison fillet is wrapped in mushroom duxelles and buttery crisp puff pastry.
Venison Rolled Haunch Joint - £15 (min 500g)
Cut from the top of the hind leg, DukesHill's tender and flavoursome Venison Rolled Haunch Joint is simple to cook and easy to carve and makes a great Sunday roast.
Three Bird Game Roast - £65 (min 1.3kg)
DukesHill's magnificent Three Bird Game Roast of pheasant breast is stuffed with both partridge and pigeon breast along with a pork, sage, and onion stuffing. It's topped with smoked streaky bacon and a rosemary sprig and carries the British Game Assurance stamp to ensure the provenance of this meat is of the highest regard for animal welfare.
Stuffed Pheasant - £22 (min 600g)
A British seasonal speciality, this delicious Stuffed Pheasant is lean and rich in flavour.
It is pointed out that all game from the collection may contain small fragments of shot although every effort is made to ensure that it is removed.

Poor summer brings about increased red wine sales, reports Waitrose
Because the washout summer has made red wines the drink of choice, as sales soar for numerous countries including France and Chile.
A cold, crisp glass of white wine or rosé is normally a summer staple but as we experienced the sixth wettest July on record, red wine and a cosy night in seem farm more appropriate, with the biggest increases seen in classic French fine red wine, especially with Burgundy leading the way (163%) and Chilean fine red wine, too.
Over the last month we saw temperatures of 14.9 degrees and this dip in temperature is reflected in customers drinking habits with red wine from all regions seeing an increase in sales in the past month.
In comparison, in July 2022, temperatures soared as high as 40 degrees with searches for rosé wine and white wine up 30% and 47% on Waitrose.com compared to the same time this year.
Jamie Matthewson, who is the Wine Buying Manager at Waitrose, said: “Our customers usually love a chilled glass of rosĂ© in the summer and who can blame them? It’s a shame it's not had its moment in the sun this year but it has been great for red wine, whether you want to enjoy a chilled summer red, or really want to hunker down and enjoy a Malbec or a Merlot. Personally, I love a glass of red whatever the season!”
He went on to say: "Our customers are prepared just in case the sun decides to make an appearance, opting for red wine that can also be chilled with sales of Santa Tresa Frappato up 86% year on year.
"An elegant Sicilian red, which is full of delicious summer fruit flavours and can be enjoyed slightly chilled, perhaps served with grilled tuna.
"Cocktails are also on the menu with searches for the red wine based summer cocktail Sangria up 47% compared to the same time last year on Waitrose.com.
For those who prefer a spirit as a tipple the preference has been more for a warming autumnal drink, with sales of spiced rum, single malts and cognac are up. Old fashioned season has also come early with recipe searches for the classic cocktail up 292% on Waitrose.com compared to the same time last year.
Argentina Fine Red Wine +90%
Australia Red Wine +24%
Australia Fine Red Wine +19%
Bag In Box Red +23.4%
Burgundy Red wine +163%
Chile Fine Red Wine +206%
Germany Fine Red Wine +68%

Calling all Wilko staff! Aldi wants to have a word with you about a job
Britain’s fourth-largest supermarket, which recently announced the creation of 800 jobs in new stores over the next coming months, has revealed that it is also recruiting for a large volume of other store roles across the UK to support its continued expansion.
Aldi hopes to offer these long-term retail roles to people who are losing their jobs as a result of the Wilko downturn, or other store staff cutbacks, with a range of Aldi positions available from Store Assistants and Caretakers all the way to Store Managers.
Kelly Stokes, Aldi's Recruitment Director said: “We continue to welcome more and more customers to Aldi stores on a weekly basis, so we're working very hard to meet the huge demand for our unbeatable value prices.
“This means we need to find thousands of new Aldi colleagues to support this growth, which will hopefully be of interest to those who have recently lost out due to closures elsewhere, such as at Wilko."
Aldi colleagues are the best-paid in the UK supermarket sector. Store Assistants receive starting pay of £11.40 per hour, whilst those based in London receive £12.85 per hour. And Aldi is the only supermarket to pay for breaks which can be worth up to £972 a year.

Aldi reduces plastic wrapping on minced beef
As well as significantly reducing plastic use, the changes are expected to increase the shelf life of minced beef, keeping products fresher for longer, without impacting either quality or taste.
The trials are taking place to see which packaging customers prefer alongside looking at how the supermarket can further reduce plastic waste in the future.
The aim of the trial is to understand which packaging customers prefer alongside helping Aldi the further cut plastic waste.
The new packaging removes the need for paper linings and no carbon dioxide is used in production, delivering further environmental benefits without impacting the quality or taste of the product.
In fact, the new packaging is expected to increase the shelf life of minced beef by keeping it fresher for longer.
The vacuum packaging trial has gone live across select stores in Northamptonshire, Leicestershire, Shropshire, Staffordshire, Warwickshire, the West Midlands and Worcestershire. (EDITOR: That's us covered, then!)
The flow-wrap trial will be rolled out in the same areas later in the year during November.
Luke Emery, who holds the role of Aldi's Plastics and Packaging Director, said: “At Aldi we're constantly reviewing ways to become more eco-friendly and reduce plastic use wherever possible.
“These trials promise a range of environmental benefits without impact on quality and it could lead to significant reductions in plastic, food miles and food waste if rolled out across all our stores.”
The move follows Aldi’s switch to colourless milk caps across all of its 990 UK stores in a bid to improve the recyclability of the bottles.
The roll out will mean a further 200 tonnes of High-Density Polythene (rHDPE) in the bottle tops can be reused to create new milk bottles.
New deal for parents from Asda

Customers will get 10% back on school uniforms and a £2 Cashpot giveaway when they spend £10 on other back-to-school essentials like stationary, lunch boxes and drink bottles.
Asda has launched the offer after new research showed many families are struggling with school uniform costs due to ongoing financial pressures caused by the current situation.
A quarter (25%) of Asda customers surveyed said they'd be forced buy less school uniforms this year compared on years, while 42% said they'd do their best to try to make old uniforms last as long as they could before replacing them.
To make the back-to-school shop more affordable, customers can take advantage of the following Asda Rewards offers:
10% back in their Cashpots on all school uniform clothing, footwear and accessories with no minimum spend required, until Sunday 10th September
A £2 cashpot boost when they spend £10 on other back-to-school essentials such as stationary, until Sunday 3rd September.
New Asda Rewards customers who download and scan the app for the first time will get £5 in their Cashpot, until midnight on Sunday 30th September.
Additionally, Asda is also offering 10% off all schoolwear online via its George website until Monday 11th September.
Asda also has a 100-day guarantee on school uniforms, meaning that if for any reason a customer is not satisfied with their school uniform, they can simply return it within 100 days with proof of purchase for an exchange or refund.
Scott MacRae, who is Senior Buying Manager for Schoolwear at George, said: “With only a week until schools return, we're aware our customers will be focusing on ensuring their children are kitted out for the new school year. We appreciate this can be stressful, especially for our large families, so we want to help budgets stretch further with our back-to-school offers across our website and Asda Rewards.”
Asda’s latest Income Tracker reveals family disposable income remains firmly below the levels experienced prior to the cost-of-living crisis, down by £25.99 per week for the average household compared against July 2021.
The tracker also reveals those aged 30-49, are feeling the pinch the most as their spending on essentials, such as food, housing costs and utility bills, was 9.4% higher in July compared to a year earlier.
(EDITOR: But remember when you take your children to Asda to buy uniforms, school supplies, etc, Asda is still offering special meal deals in the Asda cafés, so you can feed them, too!)
