Re: The unofficial motorway services thread

The Good Breakfast is the brand Welcome Break use to serve breakfast from Harry Ramsdens kitchens and counters - according to the wonderful Motorway Services Online it seems all the Welcome Break Harry Ramsdens closed at the end of August, not long after I visited Leeds Skelton. Bit weird to just s...

Re: Shops with excessive tannoy announcements

God, the dodgy B&Q covers were awful. You were constantly distracted in store because of the fact they were "off", basically a sort of aural uncanny valley. Would have been better to not have any music at all.

Re: Public Transport in your particular part of the region

We're going to be caught up in our 4th train strike since August next Saturday- when we'll be coming back from Heathrow on a long haul flight, tired and fatigued just wanting to get home, and it's going to take us twice as long and cost twice as much to get home as the train should have (thanks to a...

Technically there is, just not in 2022 ;-)

Some people are really desperate to get that gallery.

Re: Another High Street Rebrand

Saw a Waitrose advert last night, also without the "and partners" bit. Clearly they've given up on it, not that it wasn't a stupid idea to begin with.

Re: Pres Cafe Watch News and Information Board

BBC2 are showing it as well (BBC News will certainly be showing it as well, BBC Parliament probably too), that's 3 out of 5 of the main terrestrial channels, isn't that enough for anyone? Clearly not... Two Ident/Duncan has been saying "3 out of 5" as if it's a disgrace the other two aren'...

Re: Pres Cafe Watch News and Information Board

I presume TWO Ident on Pres Cafe and Duncan J on DS are the same person, both are irate about Channels 4 and 5 not showing the queen's funeral. As if it's not on enough channels already.

Re: Queen Elizabeth II

I do wonder how many of them would have the nerve to stand there booing the coffin on the processions or similar, they're never as tough when not behind a keyboard. We've even had people like Putin and the leaders of Sinn Fein being gracious about her, and these sorts of people aren't always respect...

Re: Queen Elizabeth II

I've seen so much nastiness online, it's shocking. I'm no fan of the royal family myself, but could these people just show a little respect? Of course, typically, most of it's coming from Americans, often showing their ignorance. A lot of it celebrating her death because of British colonial atrociti...

Re: TV Live Forum Watch News and Information Board

The TV Talk people are trying too hard, I didn't particularly appreciate the PM spamming, especially as they've been promoting themselves all over the forum anyway. I barely recognise the people running it. Although we do have names. Unlike pres cafe which is just looking out of the darkness like s...
