File Sharing Solution

Hello Metro-team! Forgive me for clogging the forum with an IT request, but I know we have many knowledgable people on here. I'm investigating a file-sharing solution for work - for boring internal reasons, our IT people are unwilling to implement a password-protected page on our website for us to s...

Re: Baffling local news stories

He's now been fined for littering. I like how the Glos Echo think that this story is famous enough to refer to it as 'THAT KFC meal'...

Re: TV Forum Watch News and Information Board

Wow. The Saturday Night Takeaway thread has quite suddenly become a shitshow of some of TV Forum's lowest quality members ever. And between DalekBChannel523 and Rob "InterCityFirm" Schneider, the Top Gear thread has been ruined. As I say, TVF has jumped the shark. How have I ruined it jus...

Re: Very local chains

Do you non-East Anglians know of Hughes? Currys equivalent, pretty much. I always assumed it was a national chain (growing up in Ipswich) but apparently, it's pretty much based in East Anglia. I've just had a look at their website, and it seems that they've acquired a few other stores around the pla...

Re: Public Transport in your particular part of the region

Thank you so much, both, for your kind and considerate advice. Following my failure to obtain a signed photo of our Gavin, I have proceeded down the more conventional route...! :P In fact, they finally got back to me by email today - very much not within the 10 day window which was promised, but the...

Re: Public Transport in your particular part of the region

I recently 'won' £80 or so of these vouchers. I've requested the cash alternative from Virgin East Coast, but yet to have a reply to my email. I'll give them another week, then I'll ring them. Funny thing is, it's the restrictions on them that are stopping me using them. I'm living somewhere now tha...

Re: The TSB & Lloyds Bank relaunch news and information board

I went into my local branch of Lloyds Bank today for the first time (just moved to St Albans) and it's very much still sporting an early Lloyds TSB look. Whilst the exterior has new signage, all the interior signage is from the early-2000s era, just with the TSB scrubbed out. It's all pre-'For the J...

Re: Public Transport in your particular part of the region

Couple of random things from me: - Way back in July (but forgot to post it here at the time) I travelled in a new livery Abelio Greater Anglia train for the first time. I've been in a few with redone interiors but this was the first (and, thus far, only) time I'd encountered a new exterior. It was ...
