Re: The Tesco & Other non-Morrisons Supermarket Thread

Call me old fashioned but I don't understand why you'd need wifi when you are doing your shopping anyway? Unless you were planning a #livefromtesco tweetathon, in which case carry on. Oh you would be surprised! Where I work we have free WIFI and someone who had booked in a Wake wanted to know if we...

Re: The Tesco & Other non-Morrisons Supermarket Thread

I was going to say round here all ASDA Cash Machines are in Asda green branding. Our little Asda has two ATMs supplied and run by Barclays with Barclays branding but they do have a green surround. When I was at Morrison's down at Sproughton Road in Ipswich, they have a Nat West, Lloyds and an HSBC ...

Re: The Tesco & Other non-Morrisons Supermarket Thread

Another poor decision from JS I think. Agreed. If my maths is right, points are now worth 0.5p? Worse value than Tesco Clubcard. They seem to be focussing on fuel. Coupled with the scrapping of the eco-points for reusing carrier bags, it doesn't give out a particularly good green message does it? T...

Re: The Tesco & Other non-Morrisons Supermarket Thread

The little Asda at Stoke Park in Ipswich are preparing to put in planning permission for a petrol station on the site that was supposed to be new flats and shops which didn't happen because of the credit crunch. We're glad they are putting in a petrol station as their petrol and diesel is the cheape...

Re: The Tesco & Other non-Morrisons Supermarket Thread

What I love is when someone hands us the card to put into the terminal (customers can't do it as it's a hands free terminal), we check the card and when it says MR X XXXXXX and the person giving us the card is female (or the other way round) and we have to say we need the cardholder to complete the ...

Re: The Tesco & Other non-Morrisons Supermarket Thread

Our little Asda at Stoke Park, Ipswich have had to install all new self service tills (this was done last Sunday) as when they did a software upgrade, 2 of the machines had a virus (how I do not know) and the rest of them could not deal with banana's... I kid you not. They were not on the pictures f...

Re: Sky or Virgin Media?

I am with Sky, never had an issue with them. Some have mentioned about loss of signal in heavy rain, don't have that problem because I made a nice little rain shelter for the LNB, basically a butter container, painted black with one side cut out of it, attached to the LNB and no loss of signal in he...

Re: Juries for long running trials.

I was wondering if anyone knew how juries were selected for long running trials. I know certainly in England and Wales juries are selected at random and for trials of a between a day and up to two or so weeks that all seems generally manageable for most businesses, albeit probably inconvenient. How...

Re: The Range

So, we've just had one of these things open in Dundee and I'm somewhat baffled as to what the purpose of the place is. It seems to be a jack of all trades where the majority of the stuff is just utter shite. The canvases are the ugliest I've ever seen in my life and the kitchenwear is of the worst ...
