Whilst I agree that it's ...

Re: Windows 9 is now Windows 10

Re: The Tesco & other non-Morrisons supermarket thread


Looked at some other Tesco Prunella Scales adverts, and suprised just how many were filmed in stores with older decor- like with the old cream and red stripes around the perimiter, signs in the typewriter font and one even has the old 70s and 80s sign on the outside prominently displayed in the ...

Re: Windows 9 is now Windows 10
