Some areas won’t receive mail on time.

Royal Mail has issued a delivery disruption warning for a number of postcode areas throughout Scotland. The postal service has confirmed that homes and businesses in the affected areas should not expect to receive their mail on time.

As of Monday, May 18, alerts have been issued for 23 postcode areas, Perth and Tweedale. Royal Mail said: “We aim to deliver to all addresses we have mail for, six days a week.

“In a small number of local offices, this may temporarily not be possible due to local issues such as high levels of sick absence, resourcing, or other local factors. In those cases, we will rotate deliveries to minimise the delay to individual customers.

“We also provide targeted support to those offices to address their challenges and restore our service to the high standard our customers would normally receive.”

It added: “We’re sorry for any inconvenience and thank you for your understanding.”

Over the past 24 hours, Royal Mail’s air and road network has operated on schedule, reports the Mirror.

However, further delays have been reported at Norwich Mail Centre. It said: “Some mail posted in the NR postcode area for delivery today in other parts of the UK.”

Additional delays to mail services across the UK are expected next week owing to the Spring Bank Holiday, during which Royal Mail will make no collections or deliveries, with the exception of Ayr (KA6-KA8).

The delays come as Royal Mail pledged to meet its letter delivery targets by May 2027 as part of a £500million recovery plan. The company has faced mounting criticism over late deliveries, and was even handed a fine as a result.

Royal Mail was fined £21million by Ofcom in October for falling short of targets after it delivered just 77% of First Class post and 92.5% of Second Class post on time in 2024-25.

In a bid to meet those targets, Royal Mail is planning to scrap its Saturday Second Class deliveries and switch to alternate weekdays — three days one week and two the next.

Royal Mail said it will improve First Class Next Day delivery to around 85% within nine months, before reaching the 90% target set by regulator Ofcom within a year.

The firm also pledged to deliver 93% of Second Class letters within three days over the course of nine months, and to hit the 95% target by May next year.

MILLIONS of commuters in London are bracing for another round of Tube turmoil this week as drivers prepare to strike again.

It is the second wave of industrial action in a matter of weeks after London Underground drivers walked out in April.

When does the Tube strike start this week?

The Rail, Maritime and Transport (RMT) union confirmed on Monday that members are planning to continue their industrial action on dates spanning May and June.

Industrial action had initially been due to take place in March, but it was suspended after progress in talks with Transport for London (TfL).

The latest round of disruption begins at midday on Tuesday, May 19, with a 24-hour strike running until 11.59am on Wednesday, May 20.

A second 24-hour stoppage will then start at midday on Thursday, May 21, running to 11.59am on Friday, May 22.

While the strikes themselves run from midday to midday, knock-on disruption is expected to bleed into the afternoons and evenings following the end of the official action.

TfL has warned that services will finish earlier than usual on strike days and start later than normal on recovery days.

A reduced service is expected on most lines, but some routes will be much worse hit than others.

TfL guidance indicates there will be no Circle line or Piccadilly line service at all, no Metropolitan line between Baker Street and Aldgate, and no Central line between White City and Liverpool Street.

The Elizabeth line, London Overground, DLR, buses and trams will all run as normal – but expect them to be packed.

What is the full list of Tube strike dates?

The Underground strikes are set to take place across a further eight days, spread over May and June.

Strikes have already taken place on April 21-22 and 23-24.

The remaining dates are as follows:

• 19-20 May (12pm Tuesday to 11.59am Wednesday)
• 21-22 May (12pm Thursday to 11.59am Friday)
• 16-17 June (12pm Tuesday to 11.59am Wednesday)
• 18-19 June (12pm Thursday to 11.59am Friday)

These strikes are being organised over the introduction of a compressed four-day working week for Underground drivers, according to RMT.

The union warned that the proposals raise serious concerns over fatigue, safety and work-life balance.

RMT general secretary Eddie Dempsey accused TfL of “reneging on promises to negotiate in good faith”, making strike action “inevitable”.

He said: “London Underground is trying to force through major changes to working patterns that have already been rejected by our members.”

TfL chief operating officer Claire Mann said the four-day week would offer drivers an additional day off “at no additional cost” and bring the Underground in line with other train operators.

She insists the changes would be voluntary, with no reduction in contractual hours.

When the Tube is down, buses and National Rail usually offer alternative routes across the city.

E-bike hire schemes have also proved very popular during previous strikes.

Former Strictly Come Dancing host Tess Daly and BBC Radio 2 presenter Vernon Kay put on a united front at an event following the announcement of their separation last week

Amanda Holden has said Tess Daly and Vernon Kay’s split appears to be the “most amicable separation ever” after the pair were spotted at Pub in the Park over the weekend. The outing marked the first time they had been seen together since announcing their shock split after 23 years of marriage last week.

In pictures from the event, the former couple appeared all smiles as they mingled with fellow guests and posed for photos with fans.

Speaking on Heart Radio Breakfast, Ashley Roberts shared details about her time at the festival, prompting her co-star Jamie Theakston to comment: “Nice to see Vernon and Tess Daly there together.”

After Ashley went quiet after his comment, Amanda, who has reportedly been a close friend of Tess for many years, shared her thoughts.

“I think it’s the most amicable separation ever,” she said, before Jamie replied: “Good for them.”

“They’re friends and they’re showing everybody how it’s done I love them both,” the Britain’s Got Talent judge added.

An onlooker at the event said of Tess and Vernon’s appearance together: “Tess and Vernon seemed super-relaxed in each other’s company despite the news of their split.

“It’s clear to see that they are still very much happy around one another and there’s been none of this messy split business. They chatted to fans, posed for selfies and had a well-earned boogie,” they added to The Sun.

The pair announced their separation in a joint statement shared on their respective Instagram pages, writing: “After much consideration, and with a deep sense of care and respect for one another, we have made the decision to separate amicably.”

Tess and Vernon went on to say the decision had “not been an easy choice”, but came “from a place of mutual understanding and a shared desire for what is best for both of us”.

They added that they “remain great friends and most importantly, fully committed to our roles as loving and supportive parents, which will always be our priority”.

The presenters met at a BBC Christmas party while working in the same TV circles. After romance blossomed, they tied the knot in 2003 and went on to have two daughters, Phoebe and Amber.

Speaking to the Daily Mail following their split, Vernon’s father Norman said: “It’s an amicable split, and there is no bad blood between them.

“They have just gone in different directions, that’s all. Sometimes these things happen for the better and this is one of those cases.”

Shutting down suggestions that another person may have been involved in their decision to separate, he added: “That’s absolutely rubbish. He’s not interested in finding anyone else at the moment, and there is nobody else involved.”

The low-cost airline pointed to ongoing conflict in the Middle East and related economic uncertainty as key factors pressuring prices and demand.

While it has hedged 80 per cent of its fuel needs, the cost of the remaining 20 per cent has surged.

Michael O’Leary, chief executive of Ryanair, said: “Pricing in recent weeks has eased somewhat in response to economic uncertainty caused by higher oil prices, the fear of fuel shortages, and the risk of inflation adversely impacting consumer spending.”

Ryanair FY26 Results = €2.26BN profit after tax (+40% vs FY25)

✈️ Traffic up 4% to record 208M
✈️ Rev. per pax up 7%
✈️ Earnings insulated; cost advantage reinforced with 80% of FY27 jet fuel hedged at $67/bbl.

— Ryanair (@Ryanair) May 18, 2026

Despite booking a 36 per cent rise in pre-tax profits to €2.42 billion (£2.1bn) in the year to March 31, and a 40 per cent increase in underlying after-tax profits to €2.26bn (£1.96bn), the airline said it was “far too early” to provide guidance for the current financial year.

The carrier now expects first-quarter fares to fall by a “mid-single digit” percentage, with no growth forecast between July and September.

Mr O’Leary said: “The conflict in the Middle East has created economic uncertainty and we still don’t know when the Strait of Hormuz will reopen.

“Despite this, Europe remains relatively well supplied with jet-fuel, with significant volumes sourced from west Africa, the Americas and Norway.”

Bookings are increasingly being made at the last minute, though overall demand remains “robust,” according to the airline.

Ryanair plans to carry 216 million passengers by March 2027, reflecting year-on-year growth of four per cent.

The board and Mr O’Leary are close to finalising a four-year contract extension for the CEO, from the end of March 2028.

The proposed extension includes 10 million shares awards, contingent on achieving “very ambitious profit after tax or share price growth targets.”

It said: “These discussions have almost concluded and engagement with the group’s largest institutional shareholders will commence in the coming days.”

In another snap, Matilda flashed a smile as she showed of her enviable physique.

The star donned a pair of pink lensed Miu Miu sunglasses as she prepared for a night out on the town.

Matilda was spotted wearing a matching pair of plaid low-waisted trousers as she posed next to her pal Albie in a mirror at their hotel.

The pair went on a boozy night out at a beach club as Matilda was seen flashing her middle finger and kicking her leg up in the air as she laid on a sofa.

Content creator Peter Green visited former Manchester United footballer David Beckham’s favourite pie shop to see what it was really like

A man who sampled David Beckham’s favourite pie and mash establishment was left with a one-word verdict. Content creator Peter Green decided to visit Tony’s Pie and Mash shop to discover why the former Manchester United star is so fond of it.

David, 51, is said to take pride in his East London roots and has even been spotted bringing son Romeo out for a meal at the Waltham Cross establishment. Peter, known as GreenoEats online, opted for the pie, mash and liquor – a parsley sauce – along with pie, mash and gravy.

His bill totalled just £17.45 including a cup of tea and a pudding. Peter chose to tuck into his pie and liquor first, accompanied by chilli vinegar and black pepper.

Sampling the mash, he commended it for being “good and thick” without feeling “lumpy”. “That pepper and little bit of chili vinegar, that hits the spot, it really does hit the spot,” he said in a video.

He was soon making his way through the minced beef pie. Peter said: “Comfort food at its finest.

“The liquor has that lovely parsley taste, it’s got the kind of thick…it’s a bit gelatinous the sauce, kind of gloopy, but the flavour of it just works.” When it came to the beef mince pie, he delivered one straightforward verdict – “phenomenal”.

Having tried the liquor, Peter proceeded to sample the gravy, comparing the selection of sauces to a north/south divide. After working through his meal, he said: “That’s a really nice, rich, flavoursome gravy that.

“It’s really thick, a similar consistency to the liquor, it’s got a really good flavour, like an onion gravy without the onion in it. If you got that in a chippy, you’d be really happy.”

Peter described it as a “tough call” when attempting to decide whether he preferred liquor or gravy with his pie and mash. The content creator rounded off his meal with a school cake and custard, referring to it as “proper traditional grub”.

He said: “The actual quality of the pie and mash was really good. The pies themselves, lovely and soft on the bottom, crispy on the top, you can actually ask for more burnt ones as well, if that’s your thing and you want it really, really crispy, that burnt flavour no problem.”

When weighing up if he preferred liquor or gravy, Peter concluded: “Overall, I think I preferred the liquor, it just adds a little bit more lightness to it. The gravy was great, that’s the sort of thing I would probably be more likely to make at home.”

Former England star Sir David isn’t the only famous face to have enjoyed a trip to Tony’s Pie and Mash either. Television hardman Danny Dyer has previously spoken fondly of the shop, which also caters for his beloved West Ham United.

When asked about his favourite restaurant by Rolling Stone, the Rivals star said: “I’m very much a basic man so it would be Tony’s Pie and Mash Shop from Waltham Abbey. I have a double double, loads of liquor, laced with chili vinegar, that’s important, and white pepper.

“It’s a lovely restaurant in Waltham Abbey and it hasn’t changed for like 100 years. It’s the same tiles and little benches. There’s nothing quite like a f*****g pie and mash to start your day.”

It’s party time with a new processions and family fun day in Overtoun Park.

Rutherglen is set to enjoy a major new outdoor celebration as part of the town’s 900th anniversary celebrations.

‘Striding the Streets’ will kick off with a free community parade on Saturday, June 13, followed by a ‘Party in the Park’ event later that day.

Organisers from the Rutherglen 900 group hope to revive the spirit of Rutherglen’s historic parade traditions for a new generation, bringing together local people, artists, schools and community organisations.

Councillor Robert Brown, chair of Rutherglen 900, urged local people to come out to cheer the parade and support the event in the park.

He said: “This is a huge opportunity for local people to show their pride in the Royal Burgh of Rutherglen and its amazing 900-year-old history – and to enjoy themselves at the same time.”

A lively public procession will stride from Fernhill Road/Blairbeth Road junction to Broomieknowe Road/ Rodger drive and culminate in Overtoun Park.

The parade will set off at 2pm and feature over 100 local people, host Jack McGinty, travelling music from Oi Musica, giant horse puppets by Puppet Club, a new R900 community banner, school-designed flags and appearances from mascot Dougie the Pigeon.

Residents are invited to cheer on the procession along the route before making their way to Overtoun Park for a free afternoon of live music, performances and family activity.

From 2.45pm, Party in the Park will offer a packed programme led by a high-energy opening from eclectic big band Oi Musica, bold choreography from international dance artists Vince Virr and Aishwarya Patil, performances from Rutherglen 900 Schools Choir and Cambuslang and Rutherglen Rock and Pop Chorus, with a headline appearance from acclaimed folk music star Siobhan Miller and her trio.

The afternoon will build to a finale from Kings Park Brass Band performing a new R900 song, alongside the chance to meet Clydesdale horses up close, and enjoy workshops, walkabout performances and creative activities across the park.

Local event partners Grow 73 and Overtoun Park Bowling Club are also open on the day, with additional food vendors and accessible public toilets available.

Created as part of the wider Rutherglen 900 programme, Striding the Streets has grown out of local consultation and collaboration with schools, community groups, artists and partner organisations across the town.

The wider Rutherglen 900 programme has been developed to celebrate the people, heritage and future of Rutherglen throughout its anniversary year. Audiences can attend for free, with no ticket required.

More information is available on where to watch the parade and what’s on at rutherglen900.com.

The parade is intended to be watched safely from the pavement and designated public viewing points rather than followed behind. Organisers kindly ask audiences not to join the procession.

“Watch out too for other Landemer events including the Mortified Monies lunch, the model railway exhibition, the walking tours and the heritage bus events.

“There is something for everyone but particularly for the children and young people. Older people too will see echoes of the Landemer festivals of the past.

“Our grateful thanks to Creative Scotland who have funded the event and to our other partners on the day. Let’s party.”

ELITE divers have resumed a gruelling operation to recover five Italian tourists – amid a desperate scramble to stop sharks eating their bodies.

The perilous mission to recover the missing divers – which has been hampered by severe weather – has already left one rescue worker dead.

On Monday, three Finnish cave divers joined the high-risk recovery operation, which has so far only located one body.

Sami Paakkarinen, Jenni Westerlund, and Patrik Grönqvist have now arrived in the paradise archipelago to help local authorities.

The elite trio can dive to depths of nearly 500ft, giving them much more flexibility to search the difficult cave complex.

The unit, which was assembled in 48 hours and dispatched by DAN Europe – a diving safety organisation – will be searching the Alimatha cave complex near the Vaavu Atoll.

Paakkarinen, who has been cave diving since 2004, and Grönqvist, gained international renown for their role in recovering surviving divers in the 2014 Plura incident in Norway.

The divers have worked on some of the world’s most difficult missions.

Laura Marroni, CEO of the European diving network, told La Stampa: “We’ll bring them back. We can’t leave them at the mercy of the sharks. We need experts here.”

The one body that has been recovered was found in Thinwana Kandu cave, also known as the “Shark Cave”.

Fears are mounting that the remaining four holidaymakers may be scavenged before recovery workers reach them.

There were 20 other tourists on the Duke of York yacht when the tragedy unfolded.

The group have now returned home after landing at Malpensa Airport in Italy.

They departed from the capital, Malé, and stopped in Dubai before arriving in Italy.

So far, only one body of the five Italian divers has been recovered on Friday, Maldivian authorities confirmed.

They said: “The body was recovered from about 60 metres deep from inside a cave structure.”

Authorities added: “It is assumed that the rest of the divers would also be inside this cave which is about 200 feet in length.”

Five scuba divers on a university research trip went missing on Thursday morning – with only one body recovered so far.

The divers were led by the highly-experienced diver and renowned marine biologist Monica Montefalcone and boat captain Gianluca Benedetti.

They were joined by Monica’s daughter Giorgia Sommacal, researcher Muriel Oddenino, and marine biologist Federico Gualtieri.

The death of a Maldivian military rescue diver on Saturday highlighted the mission’s extreme danger – with the total death toll rising to six.

Sergeant-major Mohamed Mahudhee, died on Saturday from decompression illness, prompting the MNDF to temporarily suspend the recovery effort which has been taking place in rough weather and sea conditions.

It has since been revealed that the Duke of York yacht, from which they launched the expedition, did not have a permit allowing dives of more than 100ft.

A former military diver claimed that “rules were broken” in the high-risk cave – questioning why the group were allowed on the mission in the first place.

Shafraz Naeem, a veteran of the Maldives National Defence Force, said:  “The authorities have confirmed that the operator exceeded the Maldives’ recreational depth limit of 30 metres and conducted the dives without the necessary permits.

“Everyone knows the rules were broken; they didn’t even have a permit to conduct research at those depths.”

The ex-diver is very familiar with the caves and described the complex series of tunnels.

The entrance to the cave is between 180 to 190ft, nearly double what the permit allowed, and extends down to 330ft.

It forks into different tunnels, and soon becomes pitch-black.

Naeem said: “Even the most experienced divers can face considerable challenges in such environments.”

He believes that the Italian team died due to a combination of factors and stressed that just one “unexpected event can quickly turn into tragedy” at those depths.

A man died when car left the road in the early hours of Sunday (May 17) morning
