Re: The Barclays and other non-Lloyds/TSB Bank thread
The Royal Bank of Scotland have their own big brand positioning advert - it's got a bit of 'mea culpa' in it about the banking crisis, which I guess affected their reputation more than NatWest. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zQ7jYcHM0uE also this one, perpetuating the myth that it's hard to spend S...

Re: The Unofficial Sainsbury's Thread
I have seen a similar bank of card only tills at a Sainsbury's somewhere in London when I visited recently (EDIT: It was the London Euston Station Local). The barcode scanner requires you to aim the barcode in quite a specific direction, and the machine is even less convenient because there's still...

Re: The Unofficial Sainsbury's Thread
Those Tesco yellow labels haven't always been correct, I've tried buying the 600ml Glaceau SmartWater bottle which to this day has a meal deal sticker, but has never been part of the meal deal. However Tesco have finally added the smaller own brand orange and apple juice bottles to them. Wonder if ...

Re: High Street chain collapse sweepstake
do we need a Post Office thread? My local Crown Office is pretty decent - there's no space for much upselling. The nearest sub-office is inside a newsagent and is full of signs in bold Times New Roman "politely" requesting customers don't do things. The one up in Walthamstow really annoys ...

https://up.metropol247.co.uk/thegeek/thumbs/IMG_20160913_120024.jpg I think the only standalone M&S Food to Go I've seen before is the tiny one in Baker Street station - this seems to be a similar deal: it's basically M&S's take on a Pret, except the sandwiches are probably made some way aw...

Re: Another High Street Rebrand
I hope they do something sympathetic to the the fascia in Walthamstow - it's in a lovely building (check out the beehive in the masonry - and while you're at it, the inviting window display) Nothing's more inviting than open coffins! Maybe they should put some mannequin corpses in just to make it c...

Baconroll101 has made three posts so far. One is verging on useful; the other two remind me that the school holidays must almost be upon us.
