Re: The Tesco & Other non-Morrisons Supermarket Thread

Noticed today when using the self-checkout at a Metro that I was given a prompt for a receipt.

Re: The Unofficial Sainsbury's Thread

Despite the poor choice in meal deals, I was speaking to an employee who said that they're reviewing replenishment as they sold out of the bulk of sandwiches. TTD sandwiches were also low, despite not being part of the meal deal.

There were plenty of baguettes though.

Sainsbury's finally acquired Home Retail Group last Friday.

Re: News Corp buy The Wireless Group (formerly UTV Media)

Martin, you're no better. You think my views are slanted? I'd love to see how you feel about what Rush Limbaugh just said about Anthony Weiner's soon to be ex-wife, and how slanted you feel those views are. Or how slanted you feel about the latest conspiracy theories from Alex Jones Infowars. You'r...

Re: News Corp buy The Wireless Group (formerly UTV Media)

Considering Cityprod has been banned from Media.info, despite a super fan who misses his opinions and that of Art Grainger, has had numerous arguments on TVF and the other forum mentioned, this forum has become the last place where he can discuss radio in his own slanted way.

Tesco has sold Euphorium Bakeries. High street shops will be transferred to Soho Coffee while in-store bakeries will go in-house with employees offered to move to Tesco.

From cityprod's show page on Radio Local.
I do all this on the show, with a smile. I also update the weather and travel, and look at what's happening in the Falmouth and Penryn area, as well as my own jovial wit and banter.
Does 007 count as jovial wit?

Re: News Corp buy The Wireless Group (formerly UTV Media)

Talksport is their strongest asset, however is Rupe really interested in a group of bland middle of the road local radio stations that serve less than attractive (in advertising terms) areas such as Stoke, Bradford, Swansea, Wolverhampton and Chesterfield?
