I got very anxious and upset yesterday. I need to limit my exposure to the news and social media, which I already do, but even more so now. I completely understand where you're coming from on that one. It's been a hard slog since the Brexit process where being a tv pres enthusiast and a news geek h...

Sainsbury's haven't updated their POS to stop people buying more than the limit, I saw a woman buy five Carex hand soaps this afternoon.

Hearing that some 24H Tesco stores are reducing hours to 5am-midnight to allow for industrial size shelving overnight during the Coronavirus crisis.

Lakeside in Essex used to be one of the best shopping centres in the South East, then a combination of intu and rival Bluewater in Kent came along and it's nowhere as good as it used to be. It was a real destination to go to from London. Londoners now use the two Westfield centres in White City and ...
