Re: The Barclays and other non-Lloyds/TSB Bank thread

I've had an email from them to that effect, but when I try to add my card (the basic Avios one), get a "this card can't be set up for contactless payments" error.

Re: The Very Official McDonalds (and other fast food outlets) Thread

The McD near me ran out of large fries containers when I was there earlier this week. They explained everyone would get a medium and a small fries, and for some reason this combo would be put through as a pineapple stick, to much confusion from customers and exasperation from staff.

I'm guessing it ...

Re: There an election this year.....



Still to receive my postal ballot paper here in Edinburgh, and I'm going away for a week from tomorrow. The council vaguely saying that the papers will be sent out "by the weekend".


Have you got someone you could appoint as your emergency proxy?

Re: The Very Official McDonalds (and other fast food outlets) Thread

I doubt any of it is about dropping Monopoly.

Seems it's all about getting the app on people's phones. There will be millions of the "Have another go on the app" peels out there. It'll increase the downloads and most people won't win on the app but have a silly virtual sticker added to their 'bonus ...
