Subway is the one that has been most mullered by adding delivery in, in my experience. It used to be you could walk up and just expect it to take 2 mins + 1 min for each customer ahead of you. Now you can see an empty counter but still have a 10 min wait while they put several delivery orders togeth...

Lemon Coke Zero is one of the nicest colas I've ever tried, strongly recommended.

Not being able to pay in at the Post Office is also a pain. I'm guessing that this is due to them being a Building Society rather than a bank, despite the impression they try to give in their recent advertising and dropping "Building Society" from the logo. Not as far as I know, although ...

I wonder how much of this is Nationwide trying to get a better online banking platform? Their current IT is well in need of an overhaul, whereas much of Virgin Money is quite modern - I have a feeling it's based on Clydesdale's short-lived B brand. That said, I recently opened an ISA with them and ...

Looks like Virgin Money is going to be disappearing over the next few years. Nationwide strikes deal to buy Virgin Money for £2.9bn My debit card is due for renewal in 2026, after the previous Yorkshire Bank one was replaced early due to the rebrand. I wonder if this one will also end up being repl...

Looks like Virgin Money is going to be disappearing over the next few years. Nationwide strikes deal to buy Virgin Money for £2.9bn Wow, that's come from the blue. It seems along with Coventry's attempts to acquire the Co-op Bank that there's a real reversal from the position 20-30 years ago where ...

So we're very proud of you Presnot for taking these brave steps of moving on, and remember we're all here to support you and anyone else who needs it every st...

Agree A series are perfectly competent devices. The standout feature of S series over A (and even Z) series for me is the quality of the camera. A and Z series phones have 'good', S series is 'great' (rule of thumb, I'm sure there are exceptions). I think OLED screens were a differentiator previousl...

How about something like this? Gives you a 3.5mm output and you can still charge too. https://amzn.eu/d/0jViC0T Another potential solution for that case is a wireless charging mat (I have one as a backup in case my USB port packs up). For better or worse, the direction of travel on this is clear. S...

Over in the Android world, last time I replaced my phone a few years ago I opted for an S10 even though the S20 and S21 had both been released by then. Mainly because I really wanted to keep a 3.5mm audio jack and and the S10 was still better than any then new Samsung handset which had one and at t...

Virgin Media, waited for the contract to *actually* expire then had a proper go at them. The CityFibre rollout means they can no longer call my bluff on moving to Sky "you'll be happy with 34mb will you?" Now have gigabit and still (some) tv for £45. And the Superhub 5 is actually decent ...
