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 ...

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.

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...

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...

oh that took a bit of finding but excellent. no longer have to use another bank and transfer over.

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...

The Tesco I've got the power advert is infuriating. Goes on far too long. Repeats too often. Awful.

It's a shame because I really liked their weird Christmas adverts last year.

Do you feel any real world benefit from gigabit speeds? I'm doing my annual ISP swap shortly and I'm currently debating between Sky 145Mb @ £22.39/month or Sky 500Mb @ £23.89/month (both effective prices after cashback). yes... although there's part of me that wonders if its the wifi 6 rather than ...
