Re: Another High Street Rebrand

On a similar theme, I seem to remember a news story a few years back about shares in Tate & Lyle plummeting over the newly-announced sugar tax. That is, until investors remembered that Tate & Lyle had sold their sugar refining business some years earlier, but the new owners had bought the ri...

I wonder how many people can claim to be devout fans of both Anne Robinson and Julian Simmons!

Re: TV Live Forum Watch News and Information Board

I know I've said it before but I do worry about how some of the members over on TVLF cope with living in such a constant state of misery... More often than not now minor changes to presentation, formats etc are met with a wall of 'this is disgraceful' 'that looks awful' 'they should be ashamed of th...

Re: The Tesco & other non-Morrisons supermarket thread

Do we think this ‘just walk out’ setup is the future? It feels to me a little like CFL lightbulbs. Sold as being the future but probably not what ends up being used. I’d love to see the findings from the trials we’ve already seen. What technology exists that could scan the contents of your trolley ...

Re: TV Live Forum Watch News and Information Board

I've had a similar feeling of late but I've struggled to put my finger on what the root cause of it all is. One of the big complaints of the old place was that the moderation was generally all done behind-the-scenes, so when things got deleted there would be no note about it and no warning for other...

Re: TV Live Forum Watch News and Information Board

Couldn’t help myself and got involved in the BBC rebrand thread. Hey at least I waited this long, imagine how insufferable I’d have been if I wasn’t actively ignoring it for the past however many months. I was quite proud that until bits of the rebrand started to leak last week and a new thread was...

Re: TV Live Forum Watch News and Information Board

A new thread called 'BBC World News Studio Refresh' when the only thing that's been announced is that the backdrop behind the presenters is changing is PEAK TV (Live) Forum.

Re: Spammy spam spam

Also, I use my personal mobile for work as well, so loads and loads of people have my number, I wish I'd had the foresight to buy another sim or cheap phone for work, it's too late now. I was offered a work mobile at the end of 2019 but turned it down because I didn't want to carry two phones with ...

Re: TV Live Forum Watch News and Information Board

I know it's a rock and hard place situation but the moderation style over on the new place is a bit... odd. Firstly, the yellow mod edit/comments box gets way too many outings and I feel like every time I visit I read at least one new post which has prompted some sort of comment from the mod team. T...

Re: Bauer 'premium' stations – no ads, skip tracks

I suppose this is similar to the technology that Absolute Radio use, but on a bigger and more individual scale? Absolute 60s, 70s etc all take a few of the same shows as the main Absolute Radio (such as Breakfast) but still retain their own playlists, which throws up some challenges as obviously the...

Re: TV Live Forum Watch News and Information Board

What's happened to Newsroom? I seem to remember he ended up warned and getting a ban on the old place because he'd gotten a bit tedious, and at the time I'm sure he made a bit of a fuss about it as he was a long standing member and didn't think he deserved that treatment. He's now whinging over on t...
