Isn't the "Exceptional" range a sub-tier of the premium items? It seemed to be a range trying to compete with the higher end items M&S sells, from what I could tell at my last visit. I don't think so - when I was in there a few days ago, I noticed a few Exceptional items that had &quo...

This brand refresh seems to be on the slow side. Saw a few elements in their back to uni / school events recently but not much else. The new font they introduced (the odd mix of upper and lower case letters) just seems to have been added to the roster of the many existing fonts they use, seemingly ...

I was in Asda in York a few weeks ago, and I was surprised to find actual music was playing (at quite a volume too)

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...

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.

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"

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 ...

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...

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.
