Re: The Barclays and other non-Lloyds/TSB Bank thread

Barclays in Tottenham Court Road is finally closing on the 10th January 2025.

Re: Spammy spam spam

It's sad that we have to feel the need for second sims just because of spammers, these days we have so much amazing technology yet it seems eradicating this spam is a long way off, apparently they send it to hundreds of numbers and even if they only hook one person that's a good result - so I guess...

Re: High Street chain collapse sweepstake

There was an interview last week with one of The Range management about Wilko. The original six stores, the last being Poole which opened last week were 'concept stores' to see how they'd perform and they've tweaked their stock to match what the old Wilko was strong on sales for, such as toiletries ...
