Re: Baffling local news stories

Currently doing the rounds on Twitter, I think this could well be the mother of all local news stories. http://m.devonlive.com/mother-and-daughter-ridden-like-horses-and-told-to-lick-the-feet-of-staff-in-barnstaple-poundworld/story-30347088-detail/story.html I'm more intrigued to what these Special...

Re: The Unofficial Sainsbury's Thread

I believe the only Argoses with no catalogues are the Argos Digital stores where they have tablets instead of touchscreens. Even the new Digital Stores popping up in sainsburys still have the traditional Laminated Catalogue as well as the Tablets http://i3.cambridge-news.co.uk/incoming/article12982...

These days its fairly middle of the road a...

Re: High Street chain collapse sweepstake

I don't see the point in Woolies coming back. What they did sell was overpriced and could be purchased cheaper elsewhere. As mentioned Wilko has cornered part of Woolies market with household and pick 'n' mix products, while Poundland has the budget end. And every other damn shop on the high street...

Re: Another High Street Rebrand

There appears to be two slightly different versions of the logother.
