Empire Cinemas has gone bust. Six closed immediately, leaving Sunderland and Wigan with no cinema at all. The other half of the chain remains open while the administators look for a buyer.

Anyone seen the Fosters ad on TV recently? Didn't it originally have a guy tell his brother in law the drink was an obscure tipple called Voodoo Jazzhands? They seem to have censored it, as now he says Voodoo Jazzha- and gets cut off.

They didn't sell it at the time, but four years later... they're in receivership.

I think that's the idea. It's based on the logo they were using 50 years ago, it's deliberately designed to look retro.

When playing a mobile game, I sometimes get an advert for another app... which turns out to be incompatible with my device (just had that happen with a new Doctor Who game, I'd install it if I could, but I can't). Why advertise it to me if it's impossible for me to install the app they're advertising?

Did Morrisons take over Simply Fresh recently? The Simply Local store in Hull City Centre just rebranded as Morrisons Daily. Same posters went up as was used when the local McColls converted to that brand.

M&Co gave up their lease on my local store which is now a Superdrug before the pandemic, which would suggest they were in trouble well before then.

I never saw anyone use the store in the last decade when it was open. I remember another store before it went into administration starting selling ...
