Only in the past couple of weeks has Weston-super-Mare got it's Toys-R-Us dual signage. Seems odd to have carried on with them that late only to have to change it again now.

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 ...

I keep trying to use the New Outlook in the fear that one day I will be forced to do so but it just sucks. It's so limited compared to the "Old" Outlook, such as it won't let me set up a Quick Step to move an email to a folder in a shared mailbox. However there's no point because multiple times a ...

I almost forgot that Windows 10 was going to be 'The last version of Windows ever'. To be honest, would 'Windows as a Service' have ever worked?

Looks like the first actual one has just been sent out over Storm Darragh. Just like the tests, some people didn't get it

Edit - turns out there have been a few before.

Almost wondering how long before Asda ends up in here, with the total mess it's ending up under the Issa brothers.


It does beg the question, are the big four too big to fail? The repercussions of Asda going bust would be seismic for the UK and would lead to areas without proper food provision ...

Since these days so many (most?) First Buses carry route-specific liveries anyway, not really sure how much impact a new corporate brand will have now vs if it was done 10 years ago. Also seen nothing about a wider rebranding of FirstGroup as a whole. Are they going to use two logos at once?
