Has anyone else spotted the extremely odd Smug Dairy products still stubbornly hanging around in the major supermarkets?

I have no idea why any supermarket would want them on their shelves or why anyone would want to buy them. It's the worst of both worlds, with a patronising name to boot.

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 ...

Papa's at Crystal Peaks is next to a relatively new and very popular Wetherspoons, and therefore unsurprisingly it seems empty every time I have seen it. I suspect it will become a Wendy's in time and will do better as one if it does.

The Sheffield Arena one lasted only months as a Papa's and looks ...

I think McDonalds probably has the best value meal around with the wrap of the day (£1.99) and equivalent meal, usually around £4.09. I do wonder how long it will last! Other meals have gone up for sure, but it feels to me like KFC has seen the most significant price increases overall.

That's surely going to mean a noticeable reduction in BP/Shell/Esso/Texaco's presence across the UK. Some of their petrol stations are pretty long in ...

I noticed that Barclays have (finally) introduced support for Google Pay on their debit cards. Barclaycard are also discontinuing their app-based contactless payment feature at the end of June so it seems very likely that they will follow suit.

SCS have rebranded with a new logo. Their adverts are significantly calmed down with a softer colour palette - no more over-the-top voiceovers or dramatic sale events it seems.

Thank you Rob.
