Since the handheld scanners had their software updated they've become awfully slow. It's a nightmare if you have more than one of an item, as there's a 5 second-ish delay after scanning an item before you can scan another. It wouldn't be as bad if you could increase a quantity on the handheld, with...

As much as I respect the work of the people running Pres Cafe, expecting nobody to take that information elsewhere borders on delusional (doesn't really help either that people are now apparently being banned in retaliation - are they expected to just keep schtum?). If you're that desperate to take...

In Tesco news, I noticed that they've started to replace the clapped out Windows CE(?) based unlock cradles with a tablet based device. https://up.metropol247.co.uk/082022/1661680754_2131394920.jpg Interestingly in this case the Mk2 guns were updated with the new Tesco software, but are still makin...

Asxer544 sounds familiar in https://pres.cafe/showthread.php?tid=103&pid=795#pid795 with raising the idea of merging CBBC and Cbeebies instead of merging the News Channel and World News.

The nom de plumes for the moderators did raise a smile. I appreciated them too. They also seem to have binned off all the empty threads which is another improvement. The binning of the empty threads and renaming the mod names to a coffee theme is a big improvement. The forums instantly feel less cl...

My initial thoughts of Pres.Cafe after logging in for the first time since yesterday is that it feels to clinical. In the forums 'admin' has created a batch of threads, where users are supposed to post their corresponding comments in. This feels overly controlling and makes a forum devoid of persona...

So that’s four rival forums and one rival Reddit experiment… Interesting that nobody from clean feed has actually posted on the forum that it’s hoping to replace 🧐 Looks like the (Wix hosted) Talk TV and Box Forum have decided to join forces and merge, as the box forum has changed name and URL redi...

I used the self serve tills in Tesco Express Soho to buy some alcohol the other day and found that my age verification was immediately approved by a staff member at a central controller using the CCTV attached to my till. Has anyone ever had this elsewhere? I assumed the cameras would just be for s...

According to TJTSW Channel 5 should allow the BBC to show the final episode of Neighbours at the same time, on the basis that it was first shown on BBC One. https://www.tvliveforum.com/showthread.php?tid=960&pid=90248#pid90248 I'm sure Channel 5 would be willing to commit commercial suicide for ...

Watching Sunday Morning (the formerly Marr one) I think Gordon Brown made a good point when interviewed about the need for a three year plan, not just one year. I dare say offering a pay increase of x% this year, y% the following year, and z% the year after may help with the pay side of things for ...

I usually find the RMT very disagreeable however I think they’ve handled this better by pointing out the train companies have been trying to fix things and the government have bee. Causing the problem. It makes them seem far less dogmattic than in the last when they’d just shout “nationalise it” a ...
