Re: The Unofficial Sainsbury's Thread

I was in an Asda the other day which have already installed them over the cigarettes. They were all white with just some rather plain ID realated stuff (by which I mean "you have to be 18 to buy" type things.) Didn't look great to be honest, but I guess they had to come up with a quick sol...

Re: The Tesco & Other non-Morrisons Supermarket Thread

I don't know about Gav, but I tend to accumulate vast quantities of change and only get rid of it in big batches, so coinstair is both a blessing (convenience) and a curse (so many percent!) You see I use the Barlcays machines in thier branches, same concept as coinstar, but without the commision a...

Re: TV Forum Watch News and Information Board

One last point, don't assume we know where you are, so telling us that Fred from your region was on wasn't very helpful. If you write a load of drivel, we won't bother in scrolling back up to read your region. To be fair to ginodog (*shudder*), there is a the information below everyone's username d...

Re: Door to door broadband?

The joys of living in a gated complex, people struggle to get in, even if we want them to, so havn't had a door to door sales person in the year I've been here. There's not even a buzzer on the gate.

Re: Another High Street Rebrand
