Re: The *OFFICIAL* Asda thread
On the subject of prices generally, Kellogg's recently introduced a 'pot cereal' range. 30g pots of cereal which you're presumably meant to take to work for consumption on your morning break. The thing is, these pots are 90p each, which works out at something crazy like £4 per 100g! People who actua...

Re: The *OFFICIAL* Asda thread
Whilst perusing one of the toiletry aisles yesterday, I happened to notice the price of Asda multivitamins had gone up by 400%, from 74p to £3.50. How much does it even cost to manufacture 60 iddy biddy multivitamins? 40p?
Separate vitamins taken throughout the day are more beneficial anyway.

Re: The *OFFICIAL* Asda thread
But a quick look on mysupermarket.co.uk suggests that ASDAs pricing is the same as Tesco and 9p cheaper than Sainsburys. Ocado come in at 99p. So it's no reason to be going off ASDA, things are just ridiculously expensive now and we've found that ASDA tend to be most reliable for keeping prices low...

Re: The *OFFICIAL* Asda thread
Having been a loyal patron for 24 years I am really going off Asda. Last week the price of a Yazoo milkshake went up from 70p to £1 (a couple of years ago it was only 48p). I drink two of those per day so that's an extra £10 on my shopping bill each month alone. I can't bring myself to start shoppin...

Re: Franchises
Of all the McDonalds I've come across, I only know of 3 that are no more. Chessington's and Alton Towers' became Burger Kings following a contractual dispute with Merlin, so they hardly count. The only real example is the Spaceship one in East Anglia, and I don't think that was ever franchised. The...

Re: Digital Spy Watch News and Information Board
What if it's a metaphor? When a figure adorns the front of a ship it is called a figurehead. A purely symbolic person at the forefront of an organisation is metaphorically called a figurehead. A corporation's main building whose use is primarily functional and which I would argue lies at the heart ...

Re: Digital Spy Watch News and Information Board
The wooden ornament was a carving of a person or an animal - a sentient being. The metaphor doesn't really work when you're talking about a studio complex. Not necessarily, the navy had the royal crest at the front of ships... Okay, technically the crest was a figure as well. The dictionary says a ...
