Re: Samsung Galaxy S II v iPhone 4

Nobody is sure what to expect on the new iPhone - but I would wholeheartedly recommend the Samsung.

I've currently got the LG Optimus One which is hardly the most powerful or exciting Android phone but it runs games such as Angry Birds and Doodle Jump, and other more productive apps without a hitch ...

Re: The *OFFICIAL* Asda thread

Sheffield Queens Road is my nearest supermarket from next month, so I am happy.

Just got rejected for a 16h/pw job there, not my proudest moment :lol: It amazes me considering some of the brain-dead people who I've seen working at ASDAs in the past..

I have applied for a job at Asda four times ...

Loving all the gold tinted glass and terrible chandeliers.

Re: Franchises

You could always set up a milkshake bar with just some blenders from Argos and ingredients from Tesco. Must be the lowest cost start up possible.

Companies have opened a couple of cheapo car parks on old pieces of factory land here in Sheffield, with no tarmac, just rubble ground - all day ...

Re: Franchises

WillPS - yes, I hear that bit is to be demolished but I can't see it happening any time soon - the area where the new market is being built has been an empty piece of land for at least a year. Similarly Park Hill has some new windows, but the rest is just an empty shell - complete disaster zone, god ...

Franchises


Of all the McDonalds I've come across, I only know of 3 that are no more. Chessington's and Alton Towers' became Burger Kings following a contractual dispute with Merlin, so they hardly count. The only real example is the Spaceship one in East Anglia, and I don't think that was ever franchised ...

We have just had a refit in our local store we had the old green/blue argos store checker until this refit, now we have the touch screen and also a new voice for the order numbers and a LCD TV instead of an old 27ich CRT lol.

I have also noticed our local BK has had a refit on the counter and they ...

Re: What is the Co-op known as where you are?

Cheers for that WillPS - I never went in either. They call it a discount store on the website which suggests it might be old stock that SCS shoved in there from Castle House/Hillsborough - who knows!

Re: What is the Co-op known as where you are?

I can remember as a boy where I lived it was called Crazy Cuts
SCS (Sheffield Society) operated a Pound-shop chain named "Sound as a Pound"

I remember that place! There was one at Manor Top, not sure of any others - I never knew it was run by SCS though. There was a picture of that place around ...
