In terms of Express stores the Bethnal (Green) one in London has 1969.

Can't remember if I've mentioned this branch before but it's a very large Express. I'd argue it should be just a regular, though small, superstore given the range is much bigger than ...

Brewdog closing 10 pubs. The Shoreditch one has been closed for at least 2 weeks due to 'technical reasons' so chances are the others were closed too. I went to the Dundee one a few months ago and it seemed remarkably small compared to their regular branches.

Have you seen they've quietly launched YouTube Premium Lite in the UK (actually specifically GB for some reason) for £7.99, the main difference being you don't get the music streaming or ad free music videos, or downloads and background playing.

Each to their own. I just wouldn’t go out with only one method of paying, regardless of which one.


But why? Why carry around clutter all the time just on the off chance an extremely rare, once in a blue moon event like this happens? Not being able to buy a bag of shopping isn't exactly the ...

It never fails to amaze me how people can look at the success of Oyster and contactless in London and then come up with something quite so customer-unfriendly in response.


22 years Oyster has been available for now and still most of the country lags behind on even contactless. I was surprised ...

Wow, I have often wondered how many 'old-school' McDonald's (and KFC / Burger Kings) are still in existence in this country. I know there are a few left overseas but companies seem to be pretty quick at keeping their restaurants up to date over here.


Sofia in Bulgaria was full of very old ...

Found another rare (at least in London) McDonald's in Victoria Station with old school non-digital menus above the counter and no screens at all or even app service. The menus were still very much up to date with the Monopoly promo across them. Had a bit of vibe of printing CD booklets in the age of ...

The most galling one is the Mirror website saying in order to reject cookies you need to pay. Who is going to do that? I just close the article and go somewhere else.


Realistically no one will pay for it but the point is to essentially force you into agreeing to accept cookies if you want to ...

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.

They're fitting out a new Sainsbury's Local between Shoreditch and Liverpool St, or at least I think it should be a Local as it seems to have no depth, but the signs in the windows so far are suggesting it's just "Sainsbury's". Possible phasing out of the Local brand? It did make me wonder if ...

Why does the Glasgow Subway still, in 2024, only operate between 10am and the very specific time of 18:12 on Sundays?
