The banner outside is barmy: "We're not WHSmith! But we still stock all the WHSmith stock you're loooking for in the not ...

On other Modella Capital related news, the TJ Jones store in Wellington has closed down. This was one of the handful to get a full refit too.

Not quite sure whether this is happening more widely or not, but Weston-super-Mare was to lose it's Poundland as it was included in the 100ish stores they planned to close late 2025/early 2026.

It had a closure date of 24 December, the stock was firesaled through quickly reaching 80% off and the ...

Whilst I disagree with the idea that painting red crosses on things is immediately criminal vandalism, I can understand the need for them to be removed. Very rarely are these budding sign-writers incredible artists, so their work frequently looks pretty awful. As a society, accepting that we just ...

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 ...
