Re: Another High Street Rebrand

Morphy Richards has a new look. They must've had that old logo since the 80s at least.

Re: The Tesco & other non-Morrisons supermarket thread

AS DA https://twitter.com/dresserman/status/1508468511814864901 Weird choice having the 'ASDA' lettering huge and the 'just essentials' lettering tiny. Like M Savers mk1 I'm not sure it's clear enough that it's the budget tier rather than the own brand. Odd that it's yellow and not green. Yellow is...

Re: Another High Street Rebrand

If P&O Cruises and P&O Ferries used to be the same company but now aren't (and looking it up, it was sold off over 20 years ago), then yes, P&O Cruises probably should rebrand to avoid association with P&O Ferries.

Re: Public Transport in your particular part of the region

So the NX/Stagecoach merger (takeover) is confirmed as going ahead . I lied. Well, maybe. The Competition & Markets Authority still wanted to look into it, and in the meantime another offer came in so Stagecoach has provisionally agreed a sale to DWS Infrastructure. More info . NX look like the...

Re: Another High Street Rebrand

On a related note, I was at my sister's over the weekend and we ordered a McDonalds from Uber Eats, and clearly their drivers are as incompetent as Yodel and Hermes. He kept phoning wanting to know where the house was, even though we'd given him the postcode, and looking at the tracker, he got clos...

Re: TV Live Forum Watch News and Information Board

There seems to be a lot of fuss in the Forum Updates thread just because of a change of font.

McColl's: https://www.msn.com/en-gb/news/newslondon/mccoll-s-in-funding-talks-with-lenders-in-bid-to-avoid-collapse/ar-AAUpRsW?ocid=msedgntp I wonder if that suitor was Morrison's? Some of McColl's stores operate under the Morrisons Daily brand, and Morrison's also supply McColl's with the Safeway ...

Re: TV Live Forum Watch News and Information Board

Anyone else feel grated by the term 'pre-empted' or is it just me? Ugh, you're talking about one of my posts, aren't you? What's wrong with that word? It's a quick way of saying that normal programmes won't be on. People would complain if I said "cancelled" - you often get clickbait headl...

Re: The Very Official McDonalds (and other fast food outlets) Thread

It IT isn't great at McDs - the amount of times that I have been to one of those self order screens to find it isn't working, or the printer is knackered. Yeah, if the receipt fails to print, then the order number will be covered up by the error message too, making it easy to miss. And by then you'...
