Make a Statement with the Bamford Mayfair Date
Now Featuring the Iconic Swiss Quartz Movement
www.bamfordlondon.co
Bamford London are delighted to launch the Bamford Mayfair Date, which is the second edition of their signature timepiece, the Bamford Mayfair. Beginning its life as a service watch in the Bamford Watch Department, the timepiece became so beloved by their clients they requested to keep it, inspiring Bamford London to create the Bamford Mayfair.
Following the success of the first edition Mayfair, the designers decided to take the watch to the next level by adding the iconic Swiss Quartz Movement. This is Bamford London’s second watch made using the Swiss Quartz Movement, the first being the ground-breaking Bamford GMT which was released late last year.
The Mayfair Date watches are practical, stylish and refined, and have the added benefit of being waterproof to 10ATM, making them a great accessory for the outdoors. With an eclectic range of colours and strap materials, the timepiece has a truly wideranging appeal, perfect for those seeking their own individual style. The newly launched timepiece is a gift guaranteed to delight this Valentine’s Day.
The Bamford Mayfair Date has an RRP of £500 and is available to pre-order from Bamford London online.

BEATLES MANIA REACHES NEW HEIGHTS AT ST PANCRAS INTERNATIONAL WITH 50TH ANNIVERSARY GIG
St Pancras International surprised visitors with a tribute to The Beatles’ last ever performance in 1969, live from its iconic roof top
The performance took place just a stone’s throw away from where the original band were photographed as part of the ‘Mad Day Out’ shoot in 1968
30th January 2019: This morning, Londoners were forced to double take when they spotted what appeared to be The Beatles performing on the roof of St Pancras International station.
The performance marked 50 years since the band played their final concert, live from the roof of multimedia corporation, Apple Corps, in central London. St Pancras International – well known for surprise performances by some of the world’s biggest music stars – paid tribute to that historic day by recreating this famous rooftop performance, at the station where art comes to life.
The station, which is just a stone’s throw away from where the original band were photographed as part of the ‘Mad Day Out’ shoot in 1968, has a deep-rooted connection with the music industry and the band itself. It has also been revealed today, that The Beatles have topped the list of bands played by visitors on St Pancras International’s free-to-play jukebox, with hits from the notorious band played over 1,400 times!
The tribute was made up of a collective of talented British musicians who have all been inspired by the famous four during their musical careers. Ben Parker, Jimmy Sims, Che Albrighton and Thom Kirkpatrick entertained delighted on-lookers who stopped to listen to the performance from 21 metres below. They played a homage to the set played by The Beatles in 1969, including Let It Be, Don’t Let Me Down and Get Back.
The performance comes as part of the station’s ongoing exciting calendar of arts and music events which has seen A-list musicians such as John Legend, Elton John, Jamie Cullum and Jeff Goldblum all perform on the famous public pianos in the iconic station.
Ben Parker, lead singer for The Beatles Tribute performance comments: “We were honoured to be given this chance to pay tribute to one of the greatest bands of all time. The Beatles marked a step-change in musical history and the rooftop gig was the culmination of their partnership. Each of us have huge admiration for The Beatles and it was amazing to have the opportunity to recreate one of our favourite performances of all time, on top of one of London’s most-loved stations- St Pancras International.
The set was a tribute to the gig rather than a faithful recreation, which is not to say we don’t acknowledge the often-overlooked part played by the incredible Billy Preston on keyboards”.
Wendy Spinks, Commercial Director, HS1 Ltd (owners of St Pancras International) says: “We work hard to curate an arts and music programme within St Pancras for our 50 million annual visitors to enjoy. Today, it’s fantastic to bring one of these exciting impromptu performances out for Londoners and tourists within the local area to experience and to join us in marking 50 years since this special cultural moment in the British music industry’s history.”

Love is in the air – literally – if you vape this Valentine’s Day
FACEBOOK | INSTAGRAM | TWITTER
Love will literally be in the air this Valentine’s Day with the CalyFx Sex Premium CBD Vape Pen. Developed to help increase intimacy and prolong arousal, this premium blend is designed to enhance your sexual experience and release your inhibitions.
Vaping is a highly effective and efficient way to consume CBD. By taking the vapour into the lungs, it reaches the blood stream directly and is absorbed more rapidly and effectively than if taken in a liquid or pill form.
CalyFX Sex combines high-quality full-spectrum CBD oil with carefully balanced, 100% plant-based terpenes to bring about the desired lifestyle elevating effect.
CalyFX is a range of six premium custom-blend CBD vape pens designed to naturally elevate a healthy lifestyle. (Others in the range include: CalyFX Endurance, CalyFX Sleep, CalyFX Relief, CalyFX Shape & CalyFX Social). Following great success in the US where the brand originates, it has now launched in the UK.
CalyFX blends are 100% natural, pure and free from additional ingredients commonly found in less-good quality products. Prepared in California and independently lab-tested and verified, they meet all the UK regulations and are actively being prepared for product registration when the new UK Cannabis Products Directive comes into effect later in 2019. CalyFX is a member of the Cannabis Trades Association.
The range is of the highest integrity and notable for having:
No PG – propylene glycol
No VG – vegetable glycerine
No MCT – medium chain triglycerides (made from processing coconut and palm kernel oils in a laboratory)
100% full-spectrum CBD oil which includes other compounds of the cannabis plant and is considered more effective than CBD isolate (which exists without the compounds)
100% plant-based terpenes (found in essential oils, they give aromas and flavours)
Pure CBD hemp oil with less than the minimum 0.2% Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) which is the main psychoactive part of the cannabis plant that gives an illegal ‘high’
How to use it
The CalyFX Sex 1ml cartridge (£70) fits the rechargeable reusable CalyFX pen battery (£15). Simply charge the battery, fix the cartridge in place and inhale the vapour to get the desired effect.

Flannerys Organi & Wholefood Market – Why Chocolate Is Good For You
Don’t feel guilty about tucking into your chocolate this Valentine’s Day – there is such a thing as guilt-free chocolate, and it can even be good for you!
Chocolate can boost your health, from improving your mood to being anti-inflammatory, lowering blood pressure, thinning the blood, reducing stroke risk and helping stop a cough.
But Joshua Gaudry, food scientist at Flannerys Organic and Wholefood Market says it’s important to choose your chocolate wisely.
“Opt for dark chocolate instead of milk chocolate ,” he says, “especially the ones with high cocoa solid content, anything around 70 per cent and above is perfect, as it offers more health benefits than its counterpart due to containing more antioxidants and being lower in sugar.”
Scientific studies have shown that dark chocolate, which is also low GI, has the feel-good factor due to mood-elevating chemicals, including tryptophan, tyrosine, caffeine, epicatechin
and theobromine.
“Tryptophan stimulates production of serotonin, the brain’s natural anti-depressant,” adds Joshua, “and can equate the feelings it induces to those we experience when we feel content and Happy.
“Because it’s low GI, it doesn’t cause a rapid rise in blood sugar levels after being eaten, and higher the cacao content, the higher the antioxidant and flavonoid content, which can help protect against some types of cancer, heart disease and can even help lower blood pressure.
“Studies show theobromine can suppress coughing by acting on the vagus nerve. Dark chocolate has lots of benefits, as long as it’s eaten in small amounts as p art of a well-balanced diet.”
Flannerys Organic & Wholefood Market offers a huge range of fresh, healthy and organic produce, more than 300 unpackaged bulk wholefoods and hormone-free meat from Brookvale Meats. It stocks gluten-free products galore, has an onsite café, and boasts more than 200 herbal extracts in the dispensary. Pop in for free naturopathic advice, vegan-friendly and paraben-free cosmetics, plus all the regular health food supplies.

VALENTINE WINES WE CAN ALL LOVE
Even if you’re not a regular wine drinker, chances are you’ll open a bottle on Valentine’s Day. Whether you’re planning on having a group of friends over for dinner or enjoying a relaxing night in with your loved one, nothing shares a loving sentiment better than a perfectly selected bottle of wine. To help you out, here are four wines we think rise above the rest:
Vuestro
With a delicate, refreshing flavour of gentle, citrus notes, this elegant sparkler is crafted with Spanish grapes Airen, Viura, and Verdejo. This is an exhilarating, easy-drinking wine best served chilled and enjoyed with friends and loved ones.
Available in Co-Op stores (RRP: £6.00)
Willow and Stone sparkling Rosé
Willow and Stone is a beautifully refreshing rosé created to offer an easy-to-drink but distinctly classy wine. The subtle strawberry and raspberry flavours set this rosé apart from all the others on the market. It’s sure to be a Valentine’s winner.
Available in Co-Op stores (RRP: £5.00)
Corte Molino Prosecco
Crafted by renowned Italian Prosecco makers Borgo Molino’s high quality Corte Molino is sure to be a hit this Valentine’s day. Most entry-level Prosecco is only aged for 30 days, but Corte Molino is aged for a minimum of 60 days, which produces a finer mousse and a more superior and sophisticated flavour. It’s these characteristics which made Corte Molino Winner of the Drinks Business ‘The Prosecco Masters’ 2017.
Available in Co-Op stores (RRP: £8.50)
4. Sensi Prosecco Brut
This Sparkling Italian wine, produced according to the rules of the Charmat Method, is wonderfully fruity, refreshing and lively on the palate. With a perfectly balanced texture and a crisp, creamy perlage, this bottle is extremely versatile, perfect for any Valentine’s celebration.
Available from Ocado and Amazon (RRP: £13.59)

Is THIS the most romantic gift you can give this Valentine’s Day? Here’s a timeless gift with a twist
Looking for the perfect gift for the special person in your life this year?
With Valentine’s Day just a few weeks a new website. which provides a compelling offer to join “Internet’s Most Romantic Site”, has launched. The site, named 1000 couples, offers users a ‘forever space’ on the site wherein customers can leave their spouse a romantic note and couple it with a picture that’ll remain on the site incessantly.
You’ve probably heard of buying an acre of the moon, or a star in the sky – but what about a digital chunk of the internet? Well, that’s what this company offers, construing the saying ‘what goes out on the web, stays there forever’ in a refreshingly positive light.
With the initiative staying true to its name and only offering 1000 exclusive spaces, positions are already being snapped up by those wishing to give their other half something a little more unique this Valentine’s Day. The project will run from now until the 14th of February, promising to release a bespoke collage of all participants on the day.
With HALF of all profits being donated to charity, it’s a campaign with a cause too. Those wishing to gift their partner can do so directly via the website for a fee which will increase by $1 (0.78p) every time somebody signs up.
Priced currently [at time of writing] at $201 (£155.95) for, the site promises to allow you a corner of the internet to dedicate to the person you truly love the most. And submissions have already begun.
Harry, who was one of the first to grab a spot on 1000 couples explained “I met my wife [Nikita] 8 years ago online so the internet has always been a part of our love story. I tried 1000 Couples because I was impressed at the level of ingenuity & the flavour of romance in it. My wife loves Valentine’s Day & I wanted to gift her something unique. The price was a little steep but since the business donates 50% of all its profits to charity, it was fine for me & so I went ahead with it.”
The company also promises a host of exclusive discounts and offers with the package too, meaning if you fancy something a little more solid to accompany your Valentine’s Day gift, then there’s an opportunity to grab a bargain too.
When you sign up for a package, you’ll be welcomed to a community consisting of the other 1000 couples, offering the chance to form friendships for life with partners who share the same values as you. Plus, this timeless gift offers a legacy that can be passed down via generations. We already know that the internet isn’t going anywhere, so how lovely an idea that your future kids and grandkids and beyond can search for your name online and find a declaration of your love for one and other?
Speaking to the founder of the project, he revealed that “the idea of launching 1000 Couples came to me when I saw many couples posting their lovely pictures and messages during the holiday season last month. I thought; let me make a website that creates a list of such 1000 people who wish to post a lovely photo and message for their partner.”
“At the same time, I promised my wife that we will buy our “own house” before her 30th birthday which comes on June 2019. So my mind was continuously working on ideas which are legal but can give me quick wins. I realised that I can make a business out of 1000 Couples and so I worked on it for 2 weeks and launched the website. Since I wanted a small slice of the profit for my personal use, I decided that I will donate 50% of profits to the charity.” He added.
1000 Couples is available to romantics worldwide, with interested consumers coming from all corners of the globe. Proving, ahead of the most loved-up day of the year, that love is universal. As is the sentiment of a gift that gives you more.

NOW 100 HITS 80S – 5CD
Release Date: 22nd February 2019
RRP: Under £15.00
https://www.nowmusic.com/album/now-hits-of-the-80s/
The 80s is the decade that never gets old; just when we thought we’d left behind the likes of Bros, Dolly Parton and Duran Duran here they are in 2019 as relevant to popular culture as ever, with reunion tours, musicals and new albums galore. As well as being the era that made stars out of Boy George and Cyndi Lauper it also saw the release of the very first NOW That’s What I Call Music! album in 1983, launching a music phenomenon that would become a soundtrack for the nation.
To celebrate this golden era of music culture that’s making a massive comeback, NOW have compiled an absolute whopper of a compilation with 5 CDs jam-packed with everyone’s favourite hits from Mum’s first kiss on the dance floor, to Dad’s wannabe rock star days all the way through to Generation Z’s favourite throwback vintage tunes.
Following on from the monumental NOW 100 last year, the UK’s most trusted music brand want to give the nation more music than ever with NOW 100 Hits 80s boasting a staggering 100 tracks over 5 CDs. Kicking off the celebration of the era is Queen’s epic I Want To Break Free followed by Wham!’s Club Tropicana and closes with one of the ultimate ballads by Dolly Parton & Kenny Rogers Islands In The Stream. In between is everything from Tiffany’s I Think We’re Alone Now and Black Box Ride On Time to Lionel Richie’s All Night Long (All Night), Cameo’s Word Up and ABBA’s Super Trouper.
This is the ultimate eighties album to reminisce to, dance the night away and sing your heart out to. With over 6 hours of pure bangers it will give you just enough time to sew in those shoulders pads and grow out those mullets. In the words of Rick Astley- the 80s, we’re Never Gonna Give You Up.
NOW 100 HITS 80S is available in physical and digital format and on the NOW app.
From the original curators of pop music comes the NOW Music App, the only app with the most current chart toppers to the nostalgic superstars of the past four decades to the hottest breakthrough artists of 2019, and everything in-between. For only £4.99 a month with no contract and no adverts the NOW Music App is the easiest and most enjoyable way to access music on your mobile.

ABOUT CURE AND SIMPLE
Hertfordshire-based Cure and Simple was launched in 2014 with a great idea – delivering the absolute best artisan bacon, at the best price, by post, to your door. As demand grew – our customer base is now over 20,000 UK households – so did our supplier network. We’ve long since expanded from one local farm to three different farms throughout East Anglia and we’re still growing, but we haven’t compromised on the quality of our product.
Nextbase, the UK’s leading manufacturer of Dash Cams, and while Dash Cams are not the most romantic, they are certainly more practical than flowers and edibles, and in this sense, might appeal to partner’s of men who don’t have Dash Cam tech in their vehicles.
Currently the most popular tech consumer product available, Dash Cams are outselling computers, gaming consoles and other popular tech products by far. I thought that Nextbase’s 212 Dash Cam would be perfect for your request because it comes at a truly affordable price, but still contains all the impressive tech that anyone would be thrilled to have in their vehicle.
A Dash Cam provides, over all, a reliable extra pair of eyes on the road. Image quality is therefore paramount, and the 212 offers some of the best on the market. All of Nextbase’s Dash Cams are endorsed by the AA and there is a model for every motorist’s need. The products are easy to install and record on a loop, with automatic file protection in case of a traffic incident.
112 Dash Cam, £49.99:
The first in the Nextbase range, the 112 is the perfect Dash Cam for new and learner drivers. Young motorists stand a lot to gain from Dash Cams as they are often the targets of bias and discrimination on the roads, so can really use the security that comes with the 112. It comes at an affordable price and offers a clear picture quality of 720p. This Dash Cam is light and compact, and features a 120 degree wide angle, LED colour screen and photo mode. This Dash Cam can also help young drivers save on their insurance premiums through many of the UK’s Dash Cam inclusive policies.
212 Dash Cam, £69.99:
The 212 records in full 1080p HD, offering outstanding image quality at a very affordable price. What’s more, it boasts a variety of features. For instance, the Six Element Glass Lenses deliver clear images whilst capturing the entire road ahead and an Inbuilt G sensor detects accidents and automatically saves video files, an ideal addition in the case of an incident on the roads.
312GW, £99.99:
This is the best-selling Dash Cam in the Nextbase range.
A Which? Best Buy, the 312GW is ideal for motorists due to the fantastic quality of its footage, which can be shared instantly through the use of the product’s in-built Wifi.
412GW, £129.99:
A favourite within the Nextbase range, the award-winning 412GW has 1440p resolution and offers improved night vision for clear footage in poor lighting conditions. It also boasts a 140° viewing angle able to capture the entire road ahead, as well as in-built intelligent parking mode to protect your car even when it is stationary.
512GW, £149.99:
At the higher end of the range, we have the 512GW. It records in stunning 1440p QUAD HD, ensuring the footage is crystal clear, with the 140° ultra-wide viewing angle capturing the entire road ahead. The 512GW also features a Sony Exmor R Sensor, which is exclusive to Nextbase Dash Cams, and enhances the quality of the footage at night and in bright conditions.
612GW, £249.99:
This top of the range model is the first Dash Cam to ever film in Ultra HD (4K) resolution, which means that its video quality is unsurpassed.
The 612GW also features an Intelligent Parking Mode; automatic motion detection will pick up any unwanted interference while the vehicle is parked. The 612GW’s super-sharp 4K footage, smooth and simple mounting and useful extra features have seen it receive the highest score by any Dash Cam in testing by Which? Magazine and it has also secured ‘Which? Best Buy’ status.
In addition to this exciting range detailed above, there are two others that are of interest to consumers; the DUO HD – which has two rotating lenses and HD recording quality and night vision – and the 512GWRC rear view cam – which accompanies the 512GW Dash Cam and is placed at the rear end of the vehicle.

How you can use your love for rugby to find ‘the one’.
If you’ve got a hobby, this is most likely an activity that you’re incredibly passionate about and would quite like to share with a future partner. As an avid rugby fan however, this can feel a little difficult… how can you use your love for this sport to meet ‘the one’? Playing in a men’s only team doesn’t exactly allow you to meet many women who are equally committed to their health and fitness if that’s what you’re looking for!
Worry not, it is possible to combine your love for rugby with dating and subsequently, meeting your perfect match, we might just need a little help along the way! To celebrate your passion for this quintessential sport, dating expert ‘My Friend Charlie’ outlines several ways by which you can use your love for rugby to find ‘the one’. The importance of shared interests shouldn’t be underestimated! After all, prioritising this harmony will be the key to a healthy, long-term relationship that satisfies across the board!
Attend a rugby-focused group dating event!
That’s right, there are dating events out there designed specifically to combine rugby and romance! Look no further than ‘My Friend Charlie’, a unique platform that organises great dating events for singles in London. Essentially, you sign up for an event as opposed to the person/people you’ll be meeting, meaning you can be certain that if anything marries up, it’ll be your shared interests!
‘My Friend Charlie’ have collaborated with ‘Try Tag Rugby’ to host a ‘Valentine’s Day Tag Rugby Challenge’ on the 16th of February, helping attendees to meet sporty, like-minded singles whilst having fun at a day of Tag Rugby. Plus, you’ll get to enjoy a lively after-party!
If you’re hoping to meet a partner who’s equally excited by all-things rugby related, this is the way to do it! Get to know a group of interesting daters whilst satisfying your need for a fun game, who said dating needed to consist of repetitive dinner dates? Make it personal!
Remember, networking isn’t just for businesses.
Your boss might encourage you to mingle with like-minded business people, as to make a lasting impression. However, it’s important to remember that the importance of using your connections translates into your personal life too! It’s likely that if you’re on a rugby team, at least one of your fellow players will have single friends or family members who enjoy watching them dominate on the field. Stick around after a game and chat with them, it might just pay off!
Go to games!
Watching a rugby game on TV is great, but you’re unlikely to meet someone in your living room. Dating is your perfect excuse to watch games in person! Go along to matches and celebrate or commiserate with drinks at a nearby pub. You’ll likely find yourself chatting with a stream of fans, possibly including some great singles!
Embrace your passion on social media.
Online dating has a lot of pitfalls; swiping apps can quickly leave us feeling a little disheartened and the phrase ‘never judge a book by its cover’ often springs to mind. If you’re going to find love through online dating, using the internet to find someone who’s dedicated to rugby, then you must emphasise this on your profile!
