Re: Another High Street Rebrand

I see that Diet Coke have reverted back to their original logo from the new style bottles being released after the logo was 'Coca-Cola-ised' a few years back. Took a sneaky photo of a new Caffeine-free gold bottle against an old bottle. The new (old) logo does look a lot better IMO. https://up.metro...

There probably is one behind a fire escape but there’s no public accessible staircase - just the lift and escalators.

Re: The Tesco & other non-Morrisons supermarket thread

So given our discussion about the Tesco Metro and Sainsbury’s Central in Birmingham a few posts ago I thought I’d go into the centre and take a look at them whilst they’re both here. https://up.metropol247.co.uk/RDJ/E1BA714C-3214-4378-BBB0-96F2BEDA18EA.jpeg It’s no surprise this is closing down. It’...

Re: The Tesco & other non-Morrisons supermarket thread

The Sainsbury’s Central in Birmingham is a terrible Sainsbury’s which still retains most of the asthetics of Sainsbury’s twenty years ago inside and very dimly lit and very quiet. I’m not surprised it’s going. Tesco Metro on the other hand has probably suffered quite a bit over the past year with le...

Re: TV Forum Watch News and Information Board

I created the thread for discussion on an interesting topic. And interesting it was... up to a point. The Anthea Turner discussion was quite fascinating on how it affected her and the programme. Then someone flooded it last night with videos of gruesome violence and deaths, taking the topic of ‘acci...

BBC Radio Wolverhampton

The BBC is launching ‘BBC Radio Wolverhampton’, a new BBC Local Radio station on a temporary basis on DAB and BBC Sounds between 6am -2pm. https://twitter.com/bbcwm/status/1349323261721632770?s=21 Obviously Wolves are served by the generic BBC WM service currently, so quite interesting to see it tri...

Re: The Tesco & Other non-Morrisons Supermarket Thread

I remember the early days when the first self serve checkouts came to my local Tesco and looking at them like they were some kind of intriguing invention. This must have been about 2005/2006ish. Anyway the machines weren't capable of using Chip & PIN machines and only had a mag strip swipe facil...

Thomas Cook have had a rebrand today, replacing their old logo which had been in place since 2001.

Re: The TSB & Lloyds Bank relaunch news and information boar

We're still with the C&G temporary signs in Hereford with TSB posters in the window. Same for the Lloyds TSB down the road who have the new 'square' and the posters showing but still with the Lloyds TSB temporary signs. Guessing they'll be taken down later in the week.

Re: Phones4U

I've had a lot of bad experiences with Phones4u and just percieve them as money grabbing. I'm with Orange and i've found that dealing direct with them on the phone has come up trumps all the time. For example I've just been able to get myself on to their Dolphin £30 contract for £17.50 a month and a...
