I’m pretty laid back about ads that are generally considered annoying but this frog shit is driving me nuts. ITV may be making a fortune out of this but must also be losing viewers (like they need to do that right now). As soon as the ad is on, I switch channels and if I find something better, I ...

Btw, has anyone else read "Shopped" by Joanna Blythman?

I picked it up as something to read on the train and couldn't put it down.

It's an exposé of how supermarkets abuse their power, bully suppliers, use dubious means to obtain planning permission for new stores and pay no respect to their ...

Tesco does seem to going for world domination. In Milton Keynes, we have three massive superstores and with their take-over of T&S, the "Express" format is popping up all over the place (there are four of them within a short walking distance of where I live).

Other than a smallish Sainsbury, even ...

She was deadly serious too.

The updated website is a complete mess - the previous "friendly" colours and graphics with the stern new logo.

Also, is it just me or have they been unable to match the background colours of the graphics with the table backgrounds or use transparency? I see lots of red rectangles against a slightly ...

Head Office signs (all eight of them) are still pale green and the sign on the Genisis building is clear perspex with the logo etched into it. You can hardly see the logo.

Sorry for the quality of these images (one of those warm, wet, steamy days) but this is what the Milton Keynes main Abbey branch looks like after its third refurbishment in 24 months.
