Edwards, who launched the brand in 2019 with son Chris Edwards Jnr, said now they are stealing in bulk to resell. He said: "I'll go out and stand on the shop floor, just to look at one of our shops, and you can practically see people [shoplifting]. "In the old days, shoplifting was a couple of kids coming in to nick a couple of things. "I think shoplifting has become more organised. We'll get people come in and clear a whole shelf of bars of chocolate. They won't just pinch one, they will pinch a shelf-full, into a bag. "If it's in an outer-box, where they're supposed to take one out, they'll just take the outer-box. "A lot of expensive cleaning products and jars of coffee, that kind of stuff – it's all resaleable. "People who don't want to pay the full price, regular shoplifters will now supply them." ©News Group Newspapers Limited in England No. 679215 Registered office: 1 London Bridge Street, London, SE1 9GF.

Pounds and Pence One British pound is made up of 100 pence. There are coins with 1, 2, 5, 1, 20, and 50 pence denominations as well as 1 pound and 2 pound coins. Notes are available in 5, 10, 20, and 50 pound denominations, and each one has its own distinct color. All British currency features an image of the Queen's head on one side. The other side typically shows a notable historic figure, landmark, or national symbol. British slang has many different names for various elements of the currency. You will almost always hear pence referred to as "pee", while 5 and 10 pound notes are often called fivers and tenners. In many areas of the UK, a 1-pound coin is called a "quid." It's thought that this term originally stemmed from the Latin phrase "quid pro quo," used to refer to the exchange of one thing for another. Legal Currencies in the U.K. While Scotland and Northern Ireland both use pound sterling, their bank notes are different from those issued in England and Wales. Confusingly, Scottish and Irish bank notes are not afforded official legal tender status in England and Wales, but can legally be used in any British country. Most shopkeepers will accept them without complaint, but they are not legally obligated to do so and can refuse your Scottish or Irish notes. It's a good idea to shop around, as exchange rates and commission fees can vary widely from one place to the next. The easiest way to find out which option is best is to ask how many pounds you will receive for y...

Pound Sterling (GBP) was largely unchanged against the Euro (EUR) and US Dollar (USD) on Wednesday after a month-on-month GDP increase of 0.2% in April was observed, matching consensus yet not fully reversing the decline seen in March. Post-GDP Analysis highlights the impact of strike activity and rising borrowing costs, with some sectors, such as construction, seeing a notable downturn. In contrast, consumer-facing sectors experienced a robust recovery. "April's GDP data showed a 0.2% increase month-to-month, in line with consensus forecasts. However, this did not fully offset March's 0.3% drop," says Samuel Tombs, Chief U.K. Economist at Pantheon Macroeconomics. The analyst highlights a broadly flat trend in the GDP despite improvements in certain business activity indicators. "The discrepancy can be partly attributed to the construction sector's exclusion from many surveys, such as the composite PMI," he adds. Strike Activity and Borrowing Costs Impact Tombs identifies ongoing public sector strikes and the repercussions of higher borrowing costs as significant influences on the GDP. "Construction output decreased by 0.6% month-to-month in April. This was driven by a 1.0% fall in new work as the effect of higher borrowing costs reverberated through new housing demand," says Tombs. Meanwhile, Rhys Herbert, UK economist at Lloyds Bank, notes the service output's 0.3% increase, despite ongoing strikes. "The 0.2% monthly rise in April's GDP data was primarily due to a 0.3% u...
