A FAMILY has been left the ultimate cash in the attic find — a haul of hidden artworks worth £180,000.

The intimate collection of 130 pictures is described as a life-long family album of works by respected artists Gwilym Prichard and wife Claudia Williams.

They were spotted in the attic when expert Ben Rogers-Jones valued their estate in Tenby, Pembrokeshire, following Claudia’s death at 90 last year.

Gwiliym had died aged 84 in 2015.

Ben said it wasn’t uncommon to see works by Gwilym and Claudia in the company’s Cardiff sales.

“Paintings from both artists have graced almost every one of our three-times-per-year Welsh Sale auctions in the last 20 years,” he said.

“But to see so many pictures by Gwilym and Claudia in one catalogue and one space is incredibly exciting.

“We have arranged the catalogue in a chronological order, starting in North Wales were they met as a young couple and began their artistic journey together.

“Following this is a section on their overseas travels – they lived in Greece and in France where they painted prolifically and established a buying market in Brittany.

“The final part of the catalogue represents their homecoming to Wales when they settled in Tenby.

“It’s a Welsh art exhibition like no other and which is unlikely to be repeated.

“It really is a sight to behold.

WAITROSE has quite literally broken the mould with its new croissant-shaped Easter egg.

Shoppers were left open-mouthed over the £15 price tag and demanded to know one key detail about the sweet treat.

The controversy was sparked on Very British Problems Facebook page when a photo of the pastry-inspired creation was shared.

Holding up the box for followers to see, the admin wrote: “You know you’re in Waitrose when you see an Easter egg shaped like a croissant.”

The description on the gold and black packaging read: “Ooh la la… a perfectly shaped croissant made of rich blonde chocolate, drizzled with milk chocolate and sprinkled with crunchy chocolate crumbs”.

While many were left scratching their head over what blonde chocolate is (caramelized white chocolate), there was one question on the tip of everyone’s tongues.

“Is it hollow?” the first of many asked.

“Solid or hollow?” echoed another.

“For £15 quid, that better be a solid croissant!” wrote a third.

“Is it hollow or solid? That’s all I’m interested in,” agreed a fourth.

It’s bad news though, as according to Waitrose’s website the choccy croissant is indeed hollow – weighing in at 275g.

Branded as a “grown-up Easter treat”, the decadent ‘egg’ is made from Fairtrade-sourced cocoa.

“Hollow white chocolate with caramelised sugar, with feuilletine wafer and caramel pieces, decorated with milk chocolate and milk chocolate vermicelli,” the detailed description reads.

While some shoppers struggled to find the link between the French breakfast staple and Easter, others were totally sold.

“I’d buy that in a heartbeat, that looks bloody amazing,” one wrote.

“I like the look of that!” another added, while a third agreed: “Looks wonderful”.

Waitrose’s chocolate croissant is likely to become public enemy number one with thousands of Brits threatening to boycott Easter eggs as prices are set to soar this spring.

One customer recently took to social media after he was baffled by the price of Cadbury Mini Eggs.

The musician, who goes by the name JUDVH, pointed out that a 270g bag is now £4.85 and argued that the “inflation does not add up”.

In a TikTok video he said: “Cadbury’s and or Sainsbury’s you ill mannered troglodytes £4.85 for a 270g of Mini Eggs.

“Once upon a time these were Lindt prices and even they’ve only just about gone up to £6. Maximum these should be £1 to the 100 grams.

“Your inflation does not add up. To add insult to the injury you’ve labelled this a family pack, a family pack of rats.”

“Whose family are you feeding with 270g of Mini Eggs? It would be wise of you to heed these warnings, Sainsbury’s. Your little profit margin is not worth this wrath, fix it.”

The viral video sparked fury with his followers, with one user commenting: “They’re in Tesco for £1.65 on clubcard, that’s the only way I’m buying them.”

“I’m sickened every time we do a shop!! Everything is getting smaller and smaller, some things don’t taste the same but the prices are just getting higher and higher,” cried a second.

According to Mondelez International, which owns Cadbury, the main reason for the increase in cost is the rising price of cocoa and dairy.

One Facebook user shared photos of chocolate eggs on shop shelves with prices ranging from £1.25 to £13.

“Just don’t buy them,” one wrote.

“Buy them after Easter… half price,” another savvy shopper added.

“My kids can have a fried egg at those prices it’s daylight robbery,” another added.

The Tuesday letters page is unimpressed by Sony’s compensation for the PSN outage, as one reader thinks a new God Of War game set in Greece is a bad idea.

Risk takers
If there’s one thing that gives me confidence about the Nintendo Switch 2 launch it’s that they’re taking a ‘risk’. I know they only mean in terms of making lots of them, even though they don’t know if they’ll all sell, but as usual in the games industry, and I guess most everything else, it’s the smaller companies that take all the risks and the big ones that just pump out the same old slop all the time.

It’s not a good idea to idolise any company but I would certainly be more willing to take a risk on Nintendo, in terms of hardware and games, than I would anyone else. The only risk Sony seems willing to take at the moment is whether they can get away with no proper compensation for the PSN outage.

So I’m going to buy a Switch 2 at launch. Even though it’s not really a risk and I can just sell it on easily if there’s a problem. I feel the companies that actually make an effort and don’t take their customers for granted should be rewarded. That’s why I’m getting a Switch 2 and I’d be interested to know who else is too.
Ludo

War without end
The idea of sending Kratos back to Greece, whether it’s a prequel or whatever, seems completely pointless to me. The whole reason the new games are good is because they completely rethink the dumb edgelord attitude of the originals and make Kratos seem like a real character.

Even if they’re planning to remake and retcon the originals that seems pointless. The series is good because Kratos’ character shows growth and messing with that seems a very bad idea.

I can understand they might be worried that there’s nowhere to really go with the series though. I don’t think anyone’s all that interested in Atreus and I’m not sure what a game set in Egypt would be about. Is he just going to kill another set of gods for whatever reason?

In reality, you’d have say that the story for everyone had reached a natural end and there doesn’t need to be another game. Except there has to be because it sells and so, like everything else, it can never really end.

Necessary evil
Not for the first time I find myself hoping that Monster Hunter is a big hit, while having absolutely no interest in playing it myself. I’ve never liked the games and no matter how well this one reviews I can’t imagine myself getting it. It’s the only major Capcom franchise I’ve never liked and yet somehow it’s their most successful.

There’s lots of reasons I don’t really like it but the main one is that the combat is so awkward and clunky. It’s the literal opposite of all of Capcom’s other action games and for a while I really resented it. Then I realised that the success of the games were helping to pay for the stuff I do like, like Resident Evil, the new Onimusha, and hopefully the rumoured new Devil May Cry.

So my attitude about the game kind of changed and now I consider myself to be technically a Monster Hunter fan. Not because I enjoying playing it but because I want it to succeed so it can fund the games I do like.

Business as usual
I think it’s a lesson to all publishers that if even a giant company like Take-Two is leaving the PC version till after, when they can make a proper job of it, you probably should too. So many PC versions of console games are terrible at launch, just because they’re rushing them out to come out at the same time as the console versions. Although even separate releases, like for Sony games, are often bad too, even though they’ve had plenty of time to get them right.

Games not working at launch might still be a hot issue for consoles but it’s just par for the course on PC and I’m sick of it. I’d like to think Rockstar will do a decent job now but, to be honest, I think their beef is more that they hate mods, so they probably want to delay the release so they can concentrate on stopping them after the console versions are already out and sorted.

Maximum anticipation
I’m still waiting for the first third party company to ‘accidentally’ reveal something about the Switch 2, and what Nintendo’s response to that will be. I think not having the Nintendo Direct until April is a great idea. The reveal showed so little that people are now busy imagining and speculating and generating more and more hype.

This is why I think the modern preference to not announce a game properly until very close to release is such a bad idea. The earlier you know the more anticipation there is. It’s only hearing about the game a hundred times, and getting sick of it before it’s out, that’s a problem and that definitely isn’t an issue at the moment!

The only real downside to Nintendo’s approach is that that people can begin to assume certain things and when that’s not what happens they get disappointed, but I don’t see much sign of that. We have so little idea of what’s going to be shown that as long as at least there’s some good stuff it doesn’t really matter what it ends up being.

The best kind of correct
Sorry but just wanted to suggest a correction to Adam’s article on Xbox and PlayStation sales on Friday, as my OCD would like to see it corrected!

He wrote: ‘That means PlayStation 5 has roughly 70% of overall current generation sales, compared to 30% for Xbox Series X/S. For Microsoft, this ratio is worse than the previous generation. The Xbox One sold 58 million units against 117 million for PlayStation 4, so it had roughly 50% of sales, if you exclude the Switch.’

I think this should read “so it had roughly 33% of sales”, as 58 million is 33% of 175 million (the overall generation sales of both consoles, which is what he was comparing).
Stephen, Manchester

GC: He probably meant to write 50% of the PlayStation 4’s sales but you’re right, we’ll correct it.

Equal treatment
I’m not sure that South Of Midnight sounds like something I’d play even for ‘free’ on Game Pass. I really don’t think a slightly different setting (it’s still America, at the end of the day) is going to make all that much difference and the gameplay sounds super generic.

I really don’t know why Microsoft bought such a mediocre studio and yet then shut down Tango Gameworks. I’m willing to bet South Of Midnight gets considerably lower reviews than Hi-Fi Rush but if Compulsion Games somehow doesn’t get closed down that will be grossly unfair.

Not that I want anyone to lose their job you understand, but Microsoft are going to have a lot of explaining to do if they aren’t seen to be acting fairly.

Customer tiers
Sony’s response to the PSN outage has been predictably awful. All they care about is PlayStation Plus subscribers and not only have they not done anything for anyone else but they’ve not even acknowledged it affected them either.

They haven’t explained why it happened either, which makes me think it was some kind of hack or attack, or otherwise they wouldn’t be embarrassed to say. That in turn means it’s likely to happen again and often, and I very much doubt their response is going to be any better the next time.

I would expect Nintendo’s response to be much the same, except I don’t really remember this ever happening to them. Although maybe that’s because nobody uses their online services enough for it ever to be an issue.

I only vaguely remember this happening to Xbox before and I think you can say that one advantage they do have over Sony is that their online is better and more reliable. Although not reason enough to choose Xbox over PlayStation. That might not always be the case though and as everything becomes digital only, all the time then Sony are going to be in a bad spot if they start to earn a reputation for being unreliable and ungenerous with compensation.

As usual though, I’m sure they’ll only react when absolutely forced to and by then it will be too late and the damage will be permanently done. These companies never learn.

Inbox also-rans
Count me as another person who feels that Resident Evil 5 is worth a remake. It wasn’t that bad a game and could be made into something truly great, I feel. It’s Resident Evil 6 that’s beyond saving and I see that’s not the one that’s rumoured to be getting a re-release.

If Sony has a State of Play on Valentine’s Day wouldn’t that be in the evening, as usual? That’s early morning in the US but what does that say about where they think all their European fans are going to be at that time?

Now, as the soap celebrates its 40th anniversary, they have come together for a sensational look back at four decades of divas ruling Albert Square.

Gillian Taylforth, 69, recalls being told the show would make them household names — only for her dad to reply, ‘Yes, so is Domestos’[/caption]

BBC

The longest serving of the stars is Gillian Taylforth, who appeared on the very first episode of the BBC One show when it launched in 1985.

She originally went for the role of cafe owner Sue Osman but, at 29, bosses thought she was too young, so instead they cast her as Kathy Beale.

In the new edition of Radio Times — in which the seven leading ladies appear on seven different covers — Gillian, 69, said: “The show’s producer, Julia Smith, said to us, ‘When this goes out, you’re going to become household names’.

“I told that to my mum and dad — they were people who kept your feet on the ground — and my dad said, ‘Yes, so is Domestos’.

“Kathy’s a bit more outspoken than me.

“I’m not very opinionated and I don’t like confrontations, unless I’m really pushed.

“But Kathy is very strong, bolshie, and she’s not afraid to say what she thinks.

“I wish I was a bit more like her, sometimes.

“But I protect her and if I think something’s wrong, I will say so.

“Just recently, I’ve had to say, ‘Oh, I don’t think so . . .’ because I’ve invested in her for 40 years and I love her.”

Gillian is joined by co-stars including Kellie Bright, 48 (Linda Carter); Diane Parish, 55 (Denise Fox); Balvinder Sopal, 46 (Suki Panesar-Unwin); and Letitia Dean, 57, who has also been in the show since the start as Sharon Watts — the only child of Dirty Den and Angie Watts.

Letitia, 57, reveals how expectations for the soap were initially low.

She said: “It was going to last a few months, if we were lucky.

“Then suddenly — bang!

Jessie’s Kat Slater makes a statement of intent with her red lipstick and the mini-skirts[/caption]

“I was 17 when I started, but it’s still as exciting when I get a great story as it was back in 1985.

“It’s still a thrill and an honour to be trusted.

“And I’m kind of used to the crying.

“Anita (Dobson) wasn’t the original Angie, but when she came in, watching her and Leslie Grantham, who played Den, in rehearsals, you felt this surge of energy between them.

“The chemistry just worked.

“It was, and still is, TV gold.”

Also joining the line-up is Jessie Wallace, 53, who insists she had no idea how huge her character, Kat Slater, would become after arriving on the square in the year 2000.

‘We have got voices’

She said: “I came in as the troublemaker of a new family and didn’t know she would become as big as she has.

“Kat has developed over the years and I love dressing up as her.

“She makes such a statement with the red lipstick and the mini-skirts.

“To create a character that stands out, who people love, makes me very proud.”

Prepare for the show’s anniversary to go with a bang as the Queen Vic explodes – but who will make it out alive?[/caption]

Completing the set is Michelle Collins, who first appeared in EastEnders as Cindy Beale from 1988 to 1990, but really started causing havoc from 1992 onwards when she returned as the scheming wife of long-suffering Ian Beale.

Michelle, 62, candidly admits: “When I came back in the Nineties, I was in my early 30s and very ambitious.

“I never saw myself there for the future.

“Now I’m back, I’m happier to stay.

“I think I’m more comfortable in my own skin, more content, and I’m not running away all the time.

“I’ve certainly grown, and hopefully I’m a better actor.

“That’s in contrast to Cindy, who hasn’t changed.

“She’s still discontented and never happy with what she’s got.

“TV isn’t great for women of a certain age, but soaps are.

“What EastEnders and characters like Cindy show is we have got voices, we have got stories — and they should be heard.”

For now, though, Albert square will be echoing to the sound of the Queen Vic pub explosion, which will be the centrepiece of the 40th anniversary shows next week.

The first official images of the blast have been released by the BBC and show just how devastating it will be for the pub and the square.

It remains to be seen just how many cast members — newbies or veterans — might be departing Walford as a result . . .

ALESHA Dixon puts the boot into talk of settling for a quiet life as a 46-year-old mother-of-two — insisting she’s a raver who can still out-party her friends.

Alesha has called herself the ‘original raver’ and told how she can still out-party a lot of people[/caption]

She says there’s “no shutting her up or sitting her down” on the dance floor.

Alesha, who split from partner Azuka Ononye last year, added: “Even at the age I am now, I can out-dance and out-party a lot of people.

“I always call myself an original raver.”

Despite not being married, Alesha had often called Azuka, 43, her “husband” — including once in 2017 on Michael McIntyre’s Big Show on BBC1.

Alesha will return to our screens when Britain’s Got Talent makes its comeback on Saturday, February 22 at 7pm.

Last year’s series saw Sydnie Christmas take the crown, winning a life-changing £250,000 and a place on the bill at the Royal Variety Performance.

The decision who wins this series will be in the hands of the voting public, with the judges having the power to hit the Golden Buzzer for the most jaw-dropping acts.

BGT remains one of ITV’s biggest entertainment shows, boasting a massive 46 million social media followers and a staggering 25 billion video views worldwide.

With bigger acts, more drama, and an extra judge at the table, this year’s competition is set to be the most exciting yet.

EASTENDERS’ iconic boozer the Queen Vic will be torn apart by a fire that rips through it later this month – and fans have been given a preview of the shock scenes.

New snaps show the iconic pub on fire after an explosion to tie in with EastEnders‘ 40th anniversary.

If the images are anything to go by it looks unlikely that anybody in the building will survive.

Viewers are gearing up for one of the soap’s most sensational storylines yet – and speculation over who will perish in the fire has started.

Photos of the aftermath surfaced earlier this month, showing a vast array of flowers left outside the gutted pub.

The Sun previously revealed Natalie Cassidy will be leaving Albert Square after 32 years, and her character Sonia Fowler is now one of the favourites to be killed in the blast.

EastEnders’ dramatic anniversary week will start on Monday, February 17, and features a special live episode

Other characters who have been thrown into the mix include Cindy Beale [Michelle Collins], Phil Mitchell [Steve McFadden] and Denise Fox [Diane Parish].

But fans can look forward to the return of iconic character Grant Mitchell, played by Ross Kemp, who is coming back in time for the milestone.

After it was revealed he is heading back to Walford, Ross said: “I’m delighted to be returning to EastEnders as the show heads towards its 40th anniversary.

“EastEnders has always meant so much to me, so to return as the show is about to celebrate such a special anniversary, is an absolute honour. 

“Grant has never been far from the action and let’s just say, this time is no different as he certainly comes back with a bang.”
