Re: Old supermarket signage
I didn't even know there ever was a homebase there! It was gone by 2008, the furthest back Google streetview went, and I've only been going to Dundee since 2011 so never saw it. Yes it was demolished around 2008 to make way for the houses that have been being built for 500 years. I don't think it w...

Re: Old supermarket signage
The one at Dundee Riverside still has one as well... which is interesting as I don't think that store was even built until the mid-late 90s, after they'd stopped being a normal part of Tesco architecture (though maybe the store's older than it looks). And the Tesco in Monifieth still had the old WM...

Re: The Barclays and other non-Lloyds/TSB Bank thread
Hadn't realised that cashback was now awkward until I needed £30 in cash and didn't have my wallet - can't do it on contactless / Apple Pay except at PayPoint shops - Tesco now only offer it at customer service and you need the card itself In the end had to ask a friend with an RBS account to do an ...

Re: The Tesco & other non-Morrisons supermarket thread
Tesco have installed big massive LCD customer facing screens rather than the traditional two line LED panels they used to have. Strange to see any sort of investment in the manned checkouts.

Re: The Very Official McDonalds (and other fast food outlets) Thread
oh so does silverlink no longer have delivery drivers at it because it was an absolute nightmare last time i went? You really felt you were inconveniencing the drivers by daring to use at is a restaurant. Honestly, not too sure but I know you can't order online from the place at all. It's only 'Sil...

Re: The Very Official McDonalds (and other fast food outlets) Thread
I know there's one up here to cover the McDonalds at Silverlink which is, and always has been, one of the busiest in the country. Believe there's a second one at Byker aswell to cover the Newcastle area even known you can still weirdly order from Byker DT aswell. oh so does silverlink no longer hav...

Re: The Very Official McDonalds (and other fast food outlets) Thread
Although I can't help but wonder if in fact they'd manage if they were using the older kitchen format where they made the most popular items in bulk and put them on the racking. Personally, I always thought the new kitchen format and making every single thing to order was a bad move anyway. The who...

Re: The Very Official McDonalds (and other fast food outlets) Thread
So I made the mistake of trying to get a breakfast to take away from McDonalds on a Saturday. 22 mins it took. For a McMuffin and coffee. Deliveroo and the other apps have killed the efficiency of the kitchens. Although I can't help but wonder if in fact they'd manage if they were using the older ki...

Re: With all the recent inflationary price rises, is there stuff you just won’t pay for now?
Having gigabit broadband would certainly have been a lot more useful to me during Covid times when I was working from home a lot more (in a job that required quite a bit of streaming video). It's less of an issue now and I reckon a few hundred meg would do me fine, though having a symmetrical uploa...
