On the High Street a large furniture shop in my home town closed a couple years ago. The first and second floors are currently being converted into flats. The ground floor was split into six units of varying size.

All these shop units have now been occupied, and I think it's fair to say that all ...

Same here - out of curosity decided to turn on my Surfshark VPN using their UK server and can confirm it blocks me access as well.

I find it's hit and miss as to whether my connection is blocked. It's a pain in the backside that they're choosing to block these VPN IPs. I have the Surfshark app ...

There is the option of a low level light (in purple of course) in the bathroom, that throws out enough light to see what you are doing but doesn’t light up the whole room if you go in the middle of the night

This was one thing that I particularly liked when I stayed in the High Wycombe Central ...

I wonder if the admins here will create a shelter for Pres Café users outside the UK and Ireland.

It's pleasing to see that the MasterChef thread has been allowed to continue over the past week or so. From what I've seen posts have remained primarily presentation related, probably as by now users know that admin/mods would understandably clamp down on any discussion around the allegations.

It's ...

Out of nowhere my local big tesco has £1 locks on the trolleys. Apparently they'd lost £8,000 of trolleys and that is the threshold for head office to snap.

The fact there was no posters in advance to give notice of this change, and no freebie tokens to give away, probably lost them thousands in ...

Nine years (!) since the last post in this thread, DAB+ has truly taken off in the UK, to the point where from next month the only vanilla DAB stations left on the Digital One multiplex will be LBC and Talk Sport.

I find it interesting only because when I started this thread in 2011, I didn't ...

I get the impression that eventually 'new Outlook' will replace 'Outlook Classic'. It looks like Microsoft have a target of April 2026 for this, but will continue to support the 'classic' version until at least 2029. (Annoyingly MS Publisher will no longer be supported from October 2026, but as of ...
