Re: The Tesco & Other non-Morrisons Supermarket Thread

I know that Southern Co-op above very well, it used to be my local branch.

Re: High Street chain collapse sweepstake

Re: TV Forum Watch News and Information Board

QUESTION AHOY: Has any mocker from TVF actually gone on to a similar career in broadcast media?

Re: TV Forum Watch News and Information Board

I'm definitely one of the annoying types who points out the foibles of newbies. I know it, and its not something I like in myself... It's refreshing and frankly a bit of a relief to read that.
