Re: The Tesco & other non-Morrisons supermarket thread
The M&S app has a ‘scan as you shop’ function for the food hall with Apple Pay integrated, so no need to visit the checkout at all. It’s extremely handy when just nipping in for one or two things at lunchtime when even the self-checkout queues can be lengthy.

Haven’t read DS forums for a long time, but when I did, the easiest way to avoid any Richardcoulter threads was to not click on any threads that have a full stop at the end of the title.

Re: The Twitter eXodus
If I could surgically remove the “For You” feed from X then my experience would be a lot better. It defaults to that every time I open it and I just end up scrolling through a load of junk before I realise.

Re: The Very Official McDonalds (and other fast food outlets) Thread
Not surprised at McDonald's sales dropping. It's a complete waste of money.
There's so many independent burger (and other fast food) places popping up all over the place lately and they're all a league above McDonald's and not a million miles away in price. Massive change from 15 year ago when ...
