Re: High Street chain collapse sweepstake

Re: The New Real Thing

I was perusing the shelves of a Spar in Hull yesterday, logging the activity of the milk cartel, when I noticed there was a new Lemon flavour of Coca-Cola. I was surprised to see that it was available in both full-sugar Coke and Coke Zero. Putting the flavour on both editions leads me to expect the ...

Re: Pres Cafe Watch News and Information Board

The policy on removing links to content 'websnatched' is a real PITA, especially as they don't then replace the link with one which relates to the 'source' the content was originally "snatched" from... I think I've said it before, but "websnatching" is such an awful term. I supp...

Re: Pres Cafe Watch News and Information Board

Some usually sensible people can't help but express a political opinion in that thread. Nobody needs to know the uninformed opinions of Pres Café's members on Israel and Palestine.

Re: Another High Street Rebrand

I’m not convinced anyone actually bought pick n mix from Woolworths to be honest. It was just there. You'd be lucky to get a look in for a scoop in Nottingham on Saturdays or during half term, the place was always full of kids filling up cups on their way to the cinema and whatnot. Wilko was the sa...
