Was always a waste with signage being replaces and trains being repainted every few years as TOCs rebranded or changed. The old British Rail signage style stayed mostly unchanged for around 40 years, the TOC signage that replaced it after the mid-00s was lucky to last 10% of that.

I'm sure David Beckham has been in just as many if not more at the same time.

That one in Doncaster hasn't even been there particularly long either. Used to go there after skating at the dome.

Last time we went, the bloke serving us seemed to be having a bad day as he had a right attitude.

I imagine a lot of people don't know that T E Stockwell is the "Tes" in Tesco, a tea company that Jack Cohen (the "Co"in Tesco) bought out in the 1920s, so it's technically not a made up brand unlike the others.

And the site is down right now, looks like they've been having technical problems, I've had issues getting into threads all afternoon. That's more likely what's causing the missing posts than "soderaters" (hurr hurr hurr) deleting posts on a whim.

Looked at some other Tesco Prunella Scales adverts, and suprised just how many were filmed in stores with older decor- like with the old cream and red stripes around the perimiter, signs in the typewriter font and one even has the old 70s and 80s sign on the outside prominently displayed in the ...

That's quite a common way of building supermarkets these days, I've been in several stores like it- Sainsbury's in Crewe, Morrisons in Birmingham, Tesco in Lichfield, there's a Sainsbury's in Sheffield like it that I've been past on the train but not been in as well. Not quite a supermarker, but the ...
