Re: The unofficial motorway services thread

This is the one I visited - I didn't realise it's only a couple of years old. The second floor has an RSPB viewing deck. https://motorwayservices.uk/Gallery:Leeds_Skelton_Lake What was Harry Ramsden's is now something called "The Good Breakfast", and the former Sourced Market is still empty.

Struggling with buying groceries during the cost of living crisis, so buys completely unnecessary products that she doesn't need or even knows what they are. Makes sense? Nationwide are back with another terrible advert.

Re: The Tesco & other non-Morrisons supermarket thread

I'm just wondering why the two blokes are engaged in what looks like a highly intellectual chin-stroking discussion in front of an Asda Express.
