It's pleasing to see that the MasterChef thread has been allowed to continue over the past week or so. From what I've seen posts have remained primarily presentation related, probably as by now users know that admin/mods would understandably clamp down on any discussion around the allegations.

Anyone seen the Fosters ad on TV recently? Didn't it originally have a guy tell his brother in law the drink was an obscure tipple called Voodoo Jazzhands? They seem to have censored it, as now he says Voodoo Jazzha- and gets cut off.


This advert is back, and were it not for this post I'd ...

B) it’s quite the edge case to have customers coming in with their mobile wallet as the only way to pay and not also have either a physical card with chip and PIN, or cash. Maybe don’t walk into a shop with only one method of paying and no back up?

But for a lot of people, their phone is their ...

Indeed, made quite obvious when you post things like:

Baffling that you would post the "only way" forward when you've got no idea what you're talking about.

Indeed - a law written 15 years ago didn't adequately consider trans people, and the Supreme Court confirmed that. If the people in charge of Labour weren't sympathetic to anti-trans bigots, or openly anti-trans, then the law could easily be changed to enshrine the rights of trans people.

They’re keeping hold of the travel stores though.

Recently I had a till receipt in Sainsbury's that decided not to print out the bar code, so had to wait for the checkout assistant to let me out.

My experiences of the exit gates are usually good, but there have been times where the barcode scanners simply don't read them or they've had to take ...

The camera on the fruit and veg scales saves a lot of messing about looking for the exact item you want. My major issue is that the scales never seem to get cleaned up my end, so they're always filthy (in comparison to Tesco's less advanced, yet pristine, scales).

The holsters for the scanner guns in M&S are infuriating. Why are they on the wrong way? They're such a clart to take the gun out and use it compared to the Tesco equivalent.


Aren't they the kind that work in a hands-free mode when they're mounted on the trolley holster? I presume that's the ...

The blue and white aisle singage in the 1995 video is ALMOST right, but it was one long continuous strip the whole width of the store rather than broken into sections as it is here.

The 1999 section also has the old logo on the carrier bags. That logo did hang around on carrier bags for a couple ...

To be honest, I didn't even know they had any cafes left, all the stores I've been into over the last couple of years have the old cafe space walled off.


My local Sainsbury's is one that still has a Café. It's a bit hidden as you have to walk past a wall where the Argos is (on the mezzanine) to ...
