Re: High Street chain collapse sweepstake

My local Wilko is doing “Spend £5 and get 10% off your next shop” which doesn’t totally fill me with confidence about how things are going Supermarkets have done similar offers in the past. Wilko are safe until Christmas at least with Hilco's investment I expect. Wilko is definitely not as cheap as...

Yes, this cost of living crisis really has flushed out the hold outs from my magnificent milk club. It was always better value but it's now just absurd to buy a pint for £1 when £5 gets you three months of unlimited milk.

Re: Emergency alerts

So apparently the issue was that three only broadcast the signal once, instead of continuously for 20 minutes, meaning if your phone didn't have a flawless connection at that exact moment it didn't get the alert. I did get quite a fright as I was driving at the time and it came through the carplay, ...

Re: The Tesco & other non-Morrisons supermarket thread

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-65322972 Just me or does this feel like a bit of a stretch? I'd have maybe understood a bit more if it had red in it. And it's not like the blue is specifically in a square. Can't say I thought of the Lidl logo once when I've previously seen it in store. A massiv...

Re: The Tesco & other non-Morrisons supermarket thread

Tesco are closing eight in-store pharmacies in August. The stores affected haven't been announced yet. This is after Lloyds Pharmacy announced they were closing all their pharmacy concessions in Sainsbury's. I wonder what the logic here is. You'd think, especially if franchised out, they'd not cost...

Re: Pres Cafe Watch News and Information Board

Ahh, Joe, you’re another beauty. Constantly whining about everyone on pres cafe being negative when you’re the most negative person on either of these forums. You and Phil are two peas in a pod. And as for you, Pete and Nick and all the other pathetic far-right sycophants, sticking up for that crus...

Re: The unofficial motorway services thread

Nandos and Pizza Express seem unusual choices for motorway services as you need to wait for your food. All the other outlets are instant serve.

Re: High Street chain collapse sweepstake

I recently visited an Extra service station and it was very nice but, that logo is definitely designed to look as similar to McDonald’s isn’t it? (It had a Burger King). https://extraservices.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/Extra_SkeltonLake_July2020-96-2.jpg Do we have an official thread on motor...

Re: Yet another Morrisons thread

A local McColls has a " Morrisons Daily coming soon" poster in its window. Which begs the questions 1 - is this the end of the Safeway brand... again 2 - the shop in question is a large, modern, decent ceilinged, well lit branch. But McColls have some right run down dumps, would Morrisons ...
