Re: TV Live Forum Watch News and Information Board

I admit I do enjoy this thread because it's harmless observations of members who are a bit annoying.

Re: TV Live Forum Watch News and Information Board

Also wasn't long before the 'they should simply axe the services I don't use' crowd turned up, which is always fun. The notion that they should cut EastEnders episodes by 75% to save the BBC News channel did make me laugh - surely got to be up there in the TVF/TVLF hall of fame of insane ideas that...

Re: TV Live Forum Watch News and Information Board

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...

Re: The Tesco & other non-Morrisons supermarket thread

Weirdly I got that in a Tesco as well when buying an energy drink, they didn't even bother coming over.

Re: Steve Wright leaves the Afternoon

I've always found it strange that BBC Radio 2 needs to have news and current affairs when that's covered by 5 Live.

Re: Coronavirus - Strange times

The media seem to be hyping the rise in Covid cases but surely given we've had various big events like Glastonbury, the Jubilee, Hoopla it doesn't really surprise me. I suspect the official response will be recommendation rather than enforcement.

Re: The Barclays and other non-Lloyds/TSB Bank thread

Natwest is taking their sweet time replacing cards at the moment, I have a debit card that is due to expire in August and a credit card in September and still have yet to receive the replacements. Weirdly, My Mum who has a card that wasn't due to expire for a few years has already got her Mastercard...

Re: Public Transport in your particular part of the region

The DfT and TfL tit for tat continues on. I wouldn't normally side with Grant Shapps but I do think the Mayor of London leaking the details of a three week funding extension is a bit daft.

Re: Public Transport in your particular part of the region

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 ...

Re: Public Transport in your particular part of the region

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 ...
