Subway up my end went from 4 locations down to none (there is still one listed on the Subway website but it's long been closed). I also note that the formerly burgeoning Papa's Fish and Chips has cut back locations quite a bit (down to just seven now). One of the most recent closures is in Whitby, ...

I'm glad I wasn't planning on using the buses today. Rioters have attacked a hotel that's next to the transport interchange, resulting on it and the surrounding area being put on lockdown and no buses running. Hull is paralysed. Probably not the only place either as these anti-asylum seeker riots ar...

I note the bonus card needs you to scan 10 codes within about a month to get the extra points. Seems they've given up pretending McDonald's should only be enjoyed as part of a balanced diet. That's why I ignored that promotion. I only use McDonalds once a fortnight usually, simply because I only go...

Indeed The Sun have endorsed Labour at the 11th hour. I wonder how long that front page has been waiting in the wings for 'Time for a new manager (and we don't mean sack Southgate' reads awfully like the big sports news is supposed to be England out of the Euros, but we're still (somehow) in them. ...

Whilst I hate the paper, I'm a little surprised the S*n haven't endorsed anyone yet. Which suggests, they're expecting a Labour victory but aren't feeling too strongly about endorsing them. There's reports The Sun will never endorse Labour with Starmer as leader when he was DPP during the phone hac...

Not even been a week and the Tory campaign has gone horribly. National service? Are they trying not to get votes or something? Young people won't vote for them because they won't want to do it. And that's the crowd they need to vote for them. The all powerful under-18 vote? Stuff sure is different ...

I posted in the BBC Yorkshire and Lincolnshire news thread with a link about one of the weather presenters quitting Look North. They deleted it and gave me a warning, and then someone else posted the same news with no source or comment. Needless to say, I reported the new post too - if I deserved a ...

I believe so. Big Mac, Quarter Pounder, Cheeseburger, Double Cheeseburger, and Hamburger, I think. McPlant already was different to the others.

That'll change when the Virgin Money takeover goes through. I can't see them keeping branches of both open long term if they're close to each other. Probably the reason their promise is only to 2026, two years from now.
