Re: The Co-op Thread

That is new EPOS equipment anyway, Co-op seem to be switching to Windor Nixdorf (or Diebold Nixdorf as it is now) from the existing IBM kit, but running the same software.

Central England Co-op are also moving away from IBM to HP for their EPOS systems.

Re: The Tesco & other non-Morrisons supermarket thread

I still find the voice on the Tesco self service checkouts really bizarre - he has the nasally voice of someone from a cheesy regional radio advert.

Even weirder are the things he says like "Find your item, or have a browse" - because of course you're going to have a browse of what you fancy after ...

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

I'm a fan too - if it's anything like my Starling card it's much more resilient to wear and tear, the silver coating on the embossed numbers always rubs off quickly on regular cards in my experience making them hard to read.

Having switched to pretty much every bank in the UK for cash, I'm settled ...

Re: Another High Street Rebrand

I remember that - it was a very bizarre shopping experience. Like you say (and can see) it was barely touched fit out wise, only a couple of floors were opened so you couldn't get to some of the bits shown in the photos like the service desk/restaurant. I think it closed as Sunwin in 2006 and never ...

How thoroughly depressing, and what a bunch of absolute wankers.

I know this isn't representative of the country as a whole but I fear this sort of behaviour only encourages other pig-headed imbeciles such as these to come forward. Politics ...

Re: Brexit

What a completely embarrassing shambles. It'll be very interesting to see what the next few days brings - I cannot see a path forward that won't result in a large proportion of Parliament and the public being dissatisfied. The EU are being pretty firm that they will not negotiate further.

Re: Another High Street Rebrand

They've given Debenhams a pretty comprehensive makeover in Meadowhall with the new branding and it's looking very smart. It was never the worst Debenhams store in the first place so I assume it's a decent money maker for them for them to be investing in it.

They've installed grey ceilings and ...

Re: Brexit

A little off-topic - but I do find it depressing the way that the public feels increasingly divided, not just about Brexit but politics in general.

For example - we have increasing numbers of extremist idiots from either side of an argument on social media, who pounce on the slightest news and use ...

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

Not that long ago I came across this McDonalds in London stuck in a time warp:

It's been refurbished in the last few months (it was certainly still in its original state in May 2017) but this is the only restaurant I've come across in many years that's still ...
