Re: Another High Street Rebrand

John Lewis are reintroducing the Never Knowingly Undersold slogan. I’ve never been able to get my head around what it means. It’s a crap pretentious slogan. It's a price promise. It only previously applied to high street stores, but will now apply to online retailers as well. It sounds silly and po...

Re: The Tesco & other non-Morrisons supermarket thread

excellent work by Asda here: https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c5ypdd93dv0o When I was a kid we had some lamb chops go through the till at Sainsbury's for several hundred pounds. If only the clickbait internet existed back then, we could've monetised our terrible misfortune. Presumably the differen...

Re: The Very Official McDonalds (and other fast food outlets) Thread

Subway up my end went from 4 locations down to none (there is still one listed on the Subway website but it's long been closed). I also note that the formerly burgeoning Papa's Fish and Chips has cut back locations quite a bit (down to just seven now). One of the most recent closures is in Whitby, ...

I don't even understand the point of having bots that do this.
Your username however seems like an AI rewrite of the prestigious username of "Jamem"

Re: The rise of the dodgy shop

Aspartame is classified as an IARC group 2B substance. This same group also includes applying talcum powder to your gooch and mobile phones. It is a lower category than drinking beverages of over 65 °C and working night shifts. The result of this classification was no change to the acceptable daily ...

Re: The Technology Thread

My employer was heavily affected for a day and this morning until the fix could be applied. I was, thankfully, not at work yesterday. A lot of the news coverage was regarding travel, and food retail chains were relatively unaffected, so I get why a lot of people might not have noticed the impact. Ad...

Re: Pres Cafe Watch News and Information Board

623058/Barcode/Milkshake is really talking out of his arse in the elections thread. Short of the BBC displaying their graphics on Clive Myrie's forehead, I'm not sure any changes they'd made to the presentation would be enough for him not to declare it lazy.

Re: There an election this year.....

I've had the biggest variety of leaflets I can remember for a General Election. Unusually, for my area, I've also seen a number of Labour posters, and not a single Conservative one. I also can't think of anyone I've spoken to who has said they'll vote Conservative, including at least one lifelong vo...
