Re: Old supermarket signage
My local Waitrose has a somewhat dated frontage, and it's logo hasn't been updated to include "And Partners". https://www.google.com/maps/@52.2285103,-0.2706918,3a,75y,69.47h,87.01t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sjj4qqkRMzAM7pjXNsAzNNA!2e0!7i16384!8i8192?entry=ttu It also has the slightly odd situati...

Re: The Tesco & other non-Morrisons supermarket thread
It's interesting to see Tesco's GetGo has been trialling scan-free self service tills in one of their stores, ref https://www.tescoplc.com/tesco-to-introduce-new-scan-free-technology-on-self-service-tills-at-getgo-store/ I'm assuming this technology still relies on all the cameras, and uses a camera...

Re: The Very Official McDonalds (and other fast food outlets) Thread
When we use McD we tend to use the table service option. At least this means whilst waiting several minutes we can be sat down and chatting. I guess the current kitchen format with customisation is designed in part to reduce food wastage. Means that customers eating in potentially throw less away, a...

Re: The Barclays and other non-Lloyds/TSB Bank thread
Nationwide on the other hand have unified everything (from the customer's perspective at least) but appear to struggle to get pretty basic functionality available - the app looks OK but you can't see payment references at all or deposit cheques. Until very recently you had to use a bloody awful car...

Re: The Technology Thread
Agree A series are perfectly competent devices. The standout feature of S series over A (and even Z) series for me is the quality of the camera. A and Z series phones have 'good', S series is 'great' (rule of thumb, I'm sure there are exceptions). I think OLED screens were a differentiator previous...

Re: Pres Cafe Watch News and Information Board
Dare I say it but I'm inclined to complement the mods/admin for allowing the recent Radio 1 and The Nine discussion to flow without any obvious interruption. Whilst I'm sure they've been reading and monitoring those threads any actions (e.g. moving thread into different forum) has been 'light touch'...

Re: With all the recent inflationary price rises, is there stuff you just won’t pay for now?
A few years ago I axed Virgin Media to cut costs, as I was fed up of paying a premium for what essentially was the ability to record the basic Freeview channels. Previously I'd do the old 'phone up asking to disconnect' trick when out of contract to get an offer from retentions. Moving from Virgin M...

Re: The rise of the dodgy shop
It's notable when some of those shops have a notice on the door/window stating "CASH ONLY". Definitely no chance of a tax dodge there.

Re: Media Talk Forum Watch News and Information Board
Purely out of interest, what did you think about moderation at the blue and purple places? If you don't know my views on the blue place, you must be extremely young and very new here. Well I thought the mods & admin were always well liked, and very popular over here and never criticised. In unr...

Re: Fragrances
In the past year after using up Xmas presents I've been buying https://saltoftheearthnatural.com/ sprays. As well as online they're sold in Holland & Barrett, and some were in TK Max earlier in the year. I like the use of natural ingredients, and that they are refillable.
