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...

Nationwide have rebranded. Their old logo was dated but the new branding has got a very 90s feel. They’ve taken the heavily stylised church behind the house out of their logo. I think that would have attracted the ire of the right-wing press a decade ago, but I suspect even they won’t care these da...

As far as I can tell, a trans identity is understood to be any of the strands below, each building on the one above - for simplicity, since we're both guys, let's assume we are referring to me going through a male to female transition: 1. I tell you that I feel like I am a women, but make no change...

It's interesting to see the Tesco Value branding making an appearance on clothes. One of their latest offer leaflet also seems to have adopted this old-style look. In some respects it's slightly surprising that the Tesco Value (or the latter Tesco Everyday Value) hasn't make a return to their food p...

My mid-range Samsung didn't come with a charger either. I think most of them now only come with a USB cable and not the plug. The excuse given that it reduces waste, as many people already have a plug and some plug their phone into a USB power socket these days. Rather conveniently by not including...

I see they've banned Russell Brand talk, presumably it was a moderating pain for them when the Schofe allegations came out? Sensible decision. I think that on balance I also agree with the decision. As things stand Brand has not even been arrested, let alone charged or found guilty. The allegations...

I notice that there's been discussion over changes to thr edit window on posts. I presume someone has been editing their posts to say "anyone who replies to this post is a massive bumhole", or similar. Does anyone know what was going on? Maybe they had a situation like TVF where a member ...

Much stronger brand than their own and the website is much better aswell. £5m for a whole website, regardless to brand isn't that much in the grand scheme of things especially when it has recognition. I know Wilko has been selling on Amazon for quite awhile now. Wonder if long term they might trial...

I was tempted to post the following reply, which I probably stole from someone here years ago... https://up.metropol247.co.uk/Charlie%20Wells/goodbyecruelforum.jpg I didn't post it there as I knew at the very least it would understandably get removed. Think toys and pram spring to mind. Whilst I don...

I think Globaltraffic24 neatly summed up GBN in one succinct sentence a few days ago: “We’re amazingly popular because we got more viewers than eternally loss making Sky News” is fairly lame. On the subject of GB News' operations (as I'm sensing it's not permitted on pres.cafe despite not being Dan...

The Guardian reported that the logistics firm that handles Wilko's store deliveries suspended deliveries for two days last week while they were awaiting payment. Home delivery is suspended, but thanks to store deliveries resuming click and collect is back to normal. And surprisingly, still operatin...
