Aldi customers furious as hanging egg chair goes on sale early and is sold out within minutes
ALDI shoppers are furious after a “technical issue” meant the supermarket's sell-out egg chair went up for sale early - and sold out in minutes. The German discount supermarket announced last week that the hanging egg chair would go on sale this Sunday (February 28) at 8am under its Special Buy garden range section. But a “technical issue” meant it had accidentally been launched before 8am, and many customers missed out on their chance of bagging one. Angry shoppers took to Twitter to slam Aldi for putting the chair up for sale earlier than what was advertised. “Really disappointed with Aldi today,” one shopper said. “New special [buys] online should launch at 8am, went online at 7:50 to buy [the] egg chair and they were all sold out.” Another shopper raged: “@AldiUK aaaaaargh. “Come on Aldi, 8am your ads say the egg chair will be available. “Here we are at 7am and they are all gone. When did you list them and is this how you usually operate?” Shoppers … [Read more...] about Aldi customers furious as hanging egg chair goes on sale early and is sold out within minutes
B&M is selling a stunning hanging egg chair – and even Mrs Hinch has one for her garden
SIT back and relax in your garden with this stunning egg chair from B&M - and it's a bargain too. It costs £150 - much cheaper than similar chairs from rival chains like Wayfair, Argos and Wilko. Plus, even Mrs Hinch - aka Instagram cleaning sensation Sophie Hinchcliffe - is on the look out for one. Yesterday, she posted an Instagram story telling her millions of followers that she wants a rattan hanging egg chair for her garden. And even posted a picture of the B&M chair saying that she plans to check it out in store. Today she popped down to her local branch but the purchase was almost scuppered when it didn't fit in the back of her car. She later posted that it was safely on its way home. Similar chairs have already sold out from Aldi , Amazon and The Range. They usually cost around £250, although prices will differ. Always do your research and compare prices before buying - and check websites like eBay to see if you can buy one second hand. … [Read more...] about B&M is selling a stunning hanging egg chair – and even Mrs Hinch has one for her garden
Organisations must prepare for cyber breaches, as if already under attack: SingHealth COI chair
SINGAPORE - Organisations must assume they are already under cyber attack by equipping themselves with online security measures that can identify and mitigate breaches, instead of just setting up cyber defences and anticipating attacks. This point was stressed by Mr Richard Magnus, chairman of the Committee of Inquiry (COI) probing the June cyber attack on public healthcare cluster SingHealth , which is Singapore's worst-ever data breach. "Organisations must adopt an 'assume breach' mindset. They must not only adopt a proactive defence strategy, but must also arm themselves with security systems and solutions which enable them to detect and respond to cyber threats early," said Mr Magnus. These, he added, must be complemented with the right people and processes. Mr Magnus, a retired senior judge, was giving his closing remarks on Friday (Nov 30) before adjourning the COI, which has heard from 37 witnesses over 20 days of hearings. During the breach in June , hackers stole … [Read more...] about Organisations must prepare for cyber breaches, as if already under attack: SingHealth COI chair
Tips on how to set up a comfortable – and stylish – home office space
As the coronavirus forces many of us to work from home, now is the time to consider the strange hybrid space of the home office. We find ourselves jabbing away at our keyboards in strange places, a kind of interior limbo. I have been working from home for 25 years, and I know what I am doing. Here is my advice for what you will really need over the coming unsettling weeks and months. A DEDICATED SPACE You may not have room at home for a separate office but, if it can be done, make it a priority. If not, then under no circumstances try to make a “home office” out of a hopeless space that cannot be turned to any other use – a half-landing, a bit of leftover corridor. It will feel temporary and uncomfortable, a domestic exile. If you are short of space, try to reimagine a part of the living area as a temporary office – one end of the sofa or a dining table, for example. It is better to be in a decent room with natural light than an ad-hoc corner beside the vacuum cleaner. … [Read more...] about Tips on how to set up a comfortable – and stylish – home office space
