Greggs have stopped putting the bit of plastic on top of a single doughnut to please Greta Thunberg. The problem is now the icing sticks to the paper bag and rips off :(

I still haven't forgiven them for 'resting' the Steak & Cheese roll.

I wish the left would take *some* responsibility for their role in coarsening political debate, especially when anybody to the right of Ed Miliband is smeared as a hard right fascist, and calling for Tories to be lynched is the language of the shadow chancellor. Yet they don't. I can't move on my F...

They regularly use Pacers on the line that stops near me and, I don’t know, they seem alright to me 🤷‍♂️ They get from A to B and are just as reliable than any others, if not more so. Wheelchairs can get on and off. Just. They make an awful squealing noise when on the slightest curvature or when br...

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-south-yorkshire-49323007 Can't say this is particularly surprising...but despite being told that Pacers absolutely, 100%, must go by the end of 2019, DDA regs mandate it and all that, Northern are still going to be using some of them into 2020 after all. How ma...

Labour’s still practicing the same position of cluelessly avoiding open goal after open goal of opportunity. Literally any other leader of this party would be leading them to an extraordinary victory at another general election. What a shame they’re still lumped with this abominable leader at such ...

After launching Jack's, Tesco have now lurched to the other extreme and is considering launching a chain of high end convenience shops to take on M&S Simply Food.

Oh you don't have to display one. It's more displaying a potentially "inaccurate" one that's the issue. There is a road I know of in Plymouth which has several terraces of houses on it which were built at different times and originally all had separate names and therefore were separately numbered. ...

Who honestly thinks a different PM is going to manage this debacle any better? At least they could pick a direction and try and try to convince a majority to follow with it being clear what they do and do not stand for. Either go for a remainer's brexit with a deal being mandatory with second refer...

Andrea Leadsom has just resigned...

My call would be Friday morning once the EU election results become clear.

This has now sent me down a path of Tesco logo geekery. Firstly, I'm amazed the current logo has lasted so long and hasn't changed, I think it's aged very well - though I imagine the surrounding brand elements and packaging from that time look quite old now. Secondly, there's a Tesco Metro in Brist...

Also, it’s inappropriate to describe a People’s Vote as a re-run (language like “second referendum” plays into this). It is a vote on a final set of options, which were explicitly not known or set out when the initial referendum was held. As I've said before, I think a multi-stage referendum where ...
