Re: Adverts that irritate and entertain
Urgh: Ads during podcasts read out unconvincingly by the hosts of other podcasts you've never heard of, advertising products you're not interested in. Usually along the lines of: "Hi, it's Milly and Tilly here from the 'Mummy Drinks Wine' podcast, and we wanted to let you know about a special o...

Re: Lovely Lightbulbs
Have John Lewis got close to the holy grail of retro Christmas lights? https://www.johnlewis.com/john-lewis-40-led-retro-lights/p110287383 They aren't as saturated as they look in the phone pics below, they seem to be warm white LEDs inside a colour plastic envelope and they very closely mimic the ...

Re: Baffling local news stories
I've not read the Edinburgh Evening News for years due to their awful website (and whingy reporting), but today I noticed this front page appearing on BBC Scotland's online paper review: https://up.metropol247.co.uk/scottishtv/231108_edinburgheveningnews.jpg The news story in question relates to dis...

Re: The Barclays and other non-Lloyds/TSB Bank thread
If you go into the Current accounts section on the website you can see each account and it's card colour.BBC TV Centre wrote: ↑Sat 07 Oct, 2023 10.02I wonder if this generic image on the site is what our cards might look like in future:

Re: High Street chain collapse sweepstake
Slightly off topic, but related. Here in Edinburgh, I noticed that the closed-down M&S Outlet shop at Meadowbank Retail Park has been taken over by Home Bargains. This will mean B&M, Home Bargains and Poundland are all directly next to each other in a row at this location.

Re: The Tesco & other non-Morrisons supermarket thread
I noticed that M&S Foodhall have replaced plastic carrier bags with paper ones now. I've not tried them as I brought my own plastic 'bags for life' that I've been using for ages. I'm not against the change, but I guess I won't get new plastic bags when my 'bags for life' wear out now - which wou...

Re: Pres Cafe Watch News and Information Board
I think Globaltraffic24 neatly summed up GBN in one succinct sentence a few days ago:
“We’re amazingly popular because we got more viewers than eternally loss making Sky News” is fairly lame.
