Re: There an election this year.....
Some of the polls we got along the way were way off, they probably shouldn’t really get the coverage they do Some had Labour with ludicrous 500+ seats, some had the Tories on like 50 seats, Lib Dems as the official opposition and didn’t one even have Reform in second place? Obviously Labour got a la...

Re: The rise of the dodgy shop
One of these shops has opened in my small village Brash inner city style frontage (that you wonder whether it should need planning permission) selling vapes, American sweets etc, the store is spotless with everything perfectly fronted up, probably as there are never any customers We already have a f...

Re: Another High Street Rebrand
On the plus side, stores seem to have been sent signage for their (bizarre) little seating areas dotted around the stores now, rather than the home-made stuff each store was bodging together. These random seats have clearly come from a “what zero-cost thing can we do?” meeting. I was ready to say I...

Re: The Very Official McDonalds (and other fast food outlets) Thread
I agree with these thoughts. It seems delivery drivers get priority, as there are presumably targets to be met, drive thru is second, as if the queue gets too long it backs out onto the road and disrupts the flow of traffic A distant third place priority seems to be people who have been the least la...

Re: The Unofficial Sainsbury's Thread
There was a proper branded poster in my store detailing the information The only issue seemed to be no smartshop and no contactless, but chip and pin was working I also notice there is no record in my bank app of any transaction, so I’m guessing the transactions may only exist within Sainsburys inte...

Re: Another High Street Rebrand
If they’ve got money available to spend on their stores, I think it would have been preferable to spend it in literally any other way than changing the sign outside

Every time I go into the BBC News thread they are taking about “the 5 missing presenters”

Re: High Street chain collapse sweepstake
It’ll be a big loss if it does close entirely. I never fully trust the quality or how consistent the range will be at the likes of Poundland or B&M. I’m not entirely sure being squeezed out by online is as much of an issue as the commentators on the news keep saying. Surely people tend to buy th...

Re: High Street chain collapse sweepstake
Not a high street retailer, but I imagine they delivered to many of them I was reading on another forum, that Eddie Stobart as a brand is pretty much dead They were acquired by the ‘Culina Group’ in the last few years and the new owners are prioritising their brand over the Stobart brand, rebranding...

Re: Emergency alerts
Lets hope they don't use it as often as the BBC send out breaking news alerts It will be interesting how it works, as for example my council area often has flooding following period of heavy rain, but in reality it only effects a small percentage of people who live in the valley bottom. Would they s...
