Oh joy, *another* 80s ITV thread for people to get all nostalgic about while forgetting that hindsight is 20:20 and that modern values and expectations didn't apply back then.

That place really needs a "The Archive" sub forum for people to reminisce in.

That’s a great shout actually.

Not sure if it still has them but the strange Morrisons trial store in Preston (that’s now just a relatively normal one) used to have odd checkouts that sound like the ones described, where your shopping went down one of two lanes to be packed once you’d paid. Each lane had its own conveyer belt tha...

To be honest, you’re the kind of shopper that most supermarkets want shut of as you’re a drain on resources.

So Owen Jones was attacked recently. Clearly wouldn’t wish this on anybody, and nor would the vast majority of us. Straight away the finger of blame was pointed at “the far right” and talk turns to how Brexit has emboldened them to do something like this. Which puts two questions in my mind: 1) I th...

They regularly use Pacers on the line that stops near me and, I don’t know, they seem alright to me 🤷‍♂️ They get from A to B and are just as reliable than any others, if not more so. Wheelchairs can get on and off. Just.

Some vox pops on the news yesterday about this criticising all these self service tills and I hate pressing buttons myself waah waah waah. Why are people so emotionally attached to the idea of someone sitting there scanning all their shopping when they could just as easily do it themselves? I just d...

Sainsbury’s saddles up with Deliveroo for takeaway pizza trial . I understand the point of trying to utilise hot food counters more, but this wouldn't appeal to me. If you're bothering to get a pizza delivered, I'm sure you could find many better places. And if I wanted a supermarket pizza, I'd rat...

Any sign of Reith launching?

Nope, North West. Maybe it’s picking it up from there though.
