My local Sainsburys is like that where there is always a trolley available but only just, they’ll be never no more than about a dozen in the trolley park outside Either there is a shortage or they’ve sacked the trolley collectors and they are all up the far end of the car park They all seem absolut...

On the plus side, stores seem to have been sent signage for their (bizarre) little seating areas dotted around the stores now, rather than the home-made stuff each store was bodging together. These random seats have clearly come from a “what zero-cost thing can we do?” meeting. I was ready to say I...

I was just thinking about this - it seems such an odd decision. So now we are either going to see tons of stores with old branding, or they are going to pull a Morrisons and rip down all those signs after only a year or two and replace them... It wouldn't be so bad but the old branding feels very '...

The one at Dundee Riverside still has one as well... which is interesting as I don't think that store was even built until the mid-late 90s, after they'd stopped being a normal part of Tesco architecture (though maybe the store's older than it looks). And the Tesco in Monifieth still had the old WM...

Not the main signage, but there's this clinging on at Darlington North Road - https://www.google.com/maps/@54.5377816,-1.5525538,3a,15y,278.5h,89.77t/data=!3m7!1e1!3m5!1sbzIsiNPZtsTl7w12WRXVdg!2e0!5s20230401T000000!7i16384!8i8192?entry=ttu It's from the 1970's though as it uses the old Morrisons log...

I'm not too sure about that, the cards still exist but are extremely rare. You need online authentication to take a payment though - which obviously was a problem.

Debit cards can be used offline.

oh so does silverlink no longer have delivery drivers at it because it was an absolute nightmare last time i went? You really felt you were inconveniencing the drivers by daring to use at is a restaurant. Honestly, not too sure but I know you can't order online from the place at all. It's only 'Sil...

The best way to sort out the delivery problems is to open more dark kitchens and get them out the normal restaurants. I know there's one up here to cover the McDonalds at Silverlink which is, and always has been, one of the busiest in the country. Believe there's a second one at Byker aswell to cove...

Around me, pretty much all the proper night clubs have closed now - closest at least an hours drive away. Thing is, they never were cheap places to go and now people...

It's a pretty shrewd way of getting The Range into the high street using an established brand in Wilko. No surprise that the Plymouth based company will open up two stores in Devon first in Exeter and er...Plymouth. I wonder if one of the two 'South East' openings will be a London store? Not sure w...

Not surprising to see that The Range is opening Wilko stores already. Mind I thought it would take longer than they have. Had a feeling they would as they virtually have no high street presence at all. Mind can't see them doing much in the North East as all the good units have been took by Poundland...
