In M&S [Simply] Food (travel) stores news, I noticed one of the St. Pancras ones now has a small selection of clothing and just has the M&S logo over the door rather than food. I don't know if this means it's not run by SSP as all other railway station locations are? I would assume it's M&a...

A new one for me yesterday, a small M&S Food/WHSmith hybrid on Tottenham Court Road. Didn't go in but from the outside it looked like the sort of thing you'd get in a hospital or service station. It's pretty close to a larger M&S Food and isn't coming up on Google Maps so I assume it's only ...

I think gottago is talking about something other than the panel for a member of staff to do stuff remotely 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 ...

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 se...

I know he's always been irritating but I'm finding myself dreading wasting a click on a thread where the last post is Roger's as more often than not it will be a short, inane comment or him thanking someone for something not worthy of thanks. He really has gone overboard with it over the last few we...

If it wasn't for me getting discounted bus travel which is linked to my Oyster card, I would have gone fully contactless by now. But I use it for rail journeys within London and the fact that the western section of the Elizabeth line is Contactless (and paper tickets) rather than Oyster shows where...

This may well be the dullest pondering I’ve ever seen on the forum. I wonder what the continuity announcement will be for that last edition, on Channel 5. For the last edition of "High Road" on STV, the announcer said "And now on STV, the very last edition of High Road". It may w...

Me and some friends did all nine stations tonight. It really is a marvel. Properly stunning engineering in the stations, genuinely quite breathtaking subterranean architecture, fantastically smooth, quiet journeys in the tunnels. And it just smells new as well, in a way that you don't get from any o...

I get that the point of a loyalty scheme is to encourage repeat custom, but having not been to Waitrose recently, it's a bit of a swizz to remember to look at the app on my way to the shop and find that I've got no vouchers because they don't have enough of a shopping history for me. I actually thi...

MyWaitrose's withdrawal of its free newspaper for "something new" as I think they said is, actually, a return of the exact same personalised offers system that they withdrew around three or four years ago because customers found it "confusing". And they've now made it even more c...

Actually that was what I first noticed from him. Merge CBBC and CBeebies but crucially absolutely not BBC World News and the BBC News Channel.
