On review website TrustPilot, some customers have expressed their views on River Island, specifically regarding the brand's sizing, which may be a consideration when placing an online order. One shopper stated: "Lovely quality but not great sizing."
Another reviewer commented: "The quality of most clothes I've tried on are good... but the sizing is HUGE!! I recently bought some new UK size 6 shorts, skirts, jeans and trousers and they slid down my hips and legs! They wouldn't stay on my hips! The dress was huge on me too! I've had to return most of the order (kept the UK size 4 items)."

I went to the new London riverside beach club that feels like you're in the south of France
AS the UK enjoys the prolonged hot weather, Battersea Power Station's new riverside beach club is just the spot to be. ArcadeX offers an escape away from the monotone colours of the city's skyscrapers. 5 5 Hovering above the River Thames on Battersea Power Station's Coaling Jetty, ArcadeX is the newest outdoor bar in town. And the destination transports you out of the city to the south of France, with vibrant decorations and an array of food offerings to suit all. From frozen margaritas to signature tequila serves, the entire cocktail list has been created by @the_cocktailguy on Instagram, who has over 130,000 followers. However, if you are more of a beer or wine fan - these drinks are available too. There are a few different food options as well, including a pizza vendor, bao vendor and taco vendor. All the prices are affordable, as they are small plates with a bao bun setting you back a few quid, and the same for the pizza. I opted for the classic pork bao bun for £3.50 and the Baonut - essentially a doughnut - for £4. Both were tasty, and enough to keep me going without feeling overly full. Other local gems like Borough 22 Doughnuts and Two Little Giraffes gelato will also be available at times throughout the summer. There is even live music and whilst I sat enjoying the sunshine, a saxophonist performed adding to the feeling that you really are in some exclusive summer club. As the summer goes on, the venue will also host entertainment with live screenings of music, cultural and sporting events such as Glastonbury, Wimbledon Tennis, Tour De France and the Women's Euros. Arguably, one of the best elements of ArcadeX are the gigantic daybeds - and to avoid missing out on them, you can book them prior to your visit. The daybeds are available for two to four guests, with a duration of two hours and visitors are required to meet a minimum spend of £20 per person through food and drink purchases. Just a stroll from the jetty is the Power Station itself, which towers into the sky. Inside there is a variety of shops, including a food hall. 5 You can also actually go up in one of the original chimneys, with an experience called Lift 109. At the top, the glass box emerges from out of the chimney like something out of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, to see amazing views of the city from a different angle. The riverside pop-up is open Wednesday to Sunday, 11am to 10pm for 12 weeks across this summer. In the mean time, here is a 'Capri-inspired' beach bar with real sand and Ibiza-style DJ sessions in a major UK city. Plus, here are the UK's best beach bars – with DJ sets, sunset views and signature cocktails. 5

Shocking moment man and woman fall into the sea as brutal punch-up breaks out in Ibiza after 'Brits are asked to leave boat party'
This is the dramatic moment a man and a woman crashed into the sea during a mass brawl in the party resort of San Antonio on Ibiza. Chaos erupted near a party boat which, according to local reports, had to suspend a scheduled excursion because of the outbreak of violence. The fight was said to have started when a group of tourists, described as British, were asked to leave the boat before it went out to sea, local press reported. It was not immediately clear why they had been asked to leave, or whether any arrests were later made. Footage showed an unidentified man pushing another into the water before getting involved in another fight further along the quayside. In the ensuing mayhem a woman described locally as the party organiser also ended up getting soaked. She was quickly pulled out of the water by two concerned bystanders as the punch-up continued nearby. A witness who posted the footage on TikTok titled the video: 'English people in Ibiza', adding: 'English people are so problematic.' When asked by other social media users how she knew their nationalities, the TikTok user Marylou1313 replied: 'Because I was there.' Another Brit joined in the conversation, insisting: 'English people are very educated, we are not all the same.' The witness replied: 'I know.' Yesterday, footage from an explosive altercation at the popular Marco Polo hotel in the same resort made headlines. One man was struck by a flying chair in the poolside fight and a woman was knocked unconscious. It was not immediately clear what had led to the violence. The footage of the hotel brawl was shared on Instagram yesterday by @sanantonioibiza. In May an easyJet passenger branded English tourists she had to share a flight to Ibiza with as 'animals' in an angry rant at the type of holidaymakers her island is letting in. Ibiza resident Erika Barrachina posted footage of the boisterous Brits online as she dubbed them 'scum' and insisted they shouldn't have been allowed on the plane in the first place. In a no-holds-barred message alongside a video of the packed plane where passengers could be seen banging on luggage compartments above them and yelling, the local said: 'My flight from London to Ibiza was absolutely horrible. 'I was scared. A plane full of real English animals. 'Everyone standing, screaming, guys hitting each other, drinking bottles of alcohol one after the other and stopping the flight attendants from doing their job. Real hell. 'This video is just the end because I couldn't film what happened during the journey. 'It was a really wild 2.5 hour flight. This shouldn't be allowed. They shouldn't let scum like this get on a plane or sell alcohol on board. 'We don't want this type of tourism in Ibiza, they should stay at home. 'I had a very bad time and the flight attendants unable to do anything because how do you control this wild animals inside a plane. There has to be a solution.' Locals in Ibiza took part in an anti-tourist demonstration on June 15. In the march that took place in the Majorcan capital Palma 8,000 people took to the streets, although organisers put the number at 30,000. Erika claimed the two male air stewards and an air stewardess on board had asked some passengers for their documentation but were met with shouts of 'F*** off.' Around 100 noisy activists banging drums surrounded upmarket eatery Cappuccino Borne next to a McDonald's in the centre of Palma after their protest finished. Police moved in to ease tension as the demonstrators held up cardboard posters reading: 'As You Come I Have To Go.' The protestors also chanted 'The Streets Will Always Be Ours', Go Home' in English and 'No Balconing' in a reference to the young tourists who have traditionally been blamed by islanders for the dangerous practice of jumping from Magaluf hotel balconies into their swimming pools or trying to climb between balconies while under the influence of drink and drugs. The Balearics Islands Government vice-president Antoni Costa said their behaviour had been 'unacceptable.'
