Re: The Unofficial Sainsbury's Thread
Debit cards can be used offline. Not universally. Online only debit cards, which may or may not be branded differently from offline-enabled debit cards, are a thing, and have been since Visa retired the Electron brand in the UK (at least). When they first moved to Visa from Solo/Maestro Natwest and...

Re: The Unofficial Sainsbury's Thread
Credit to my nearest Sainsbury's for the detailed information. https://up.metropol247.co.uk/Martin%20Phillp/GIzL-9LWEAAee-t.jpg The self-checkouts were open, although I did notice when I scanned my Nectar card that the till froze for around 10-15 seconds, but was accepted and got Nectar prices on a...

Re: The Very Official McDonalds (and other fast food outlets) Thread
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...

Re: The New Real Thing
Lemon Coke Zero is one of the nicest colas I've ever tried, strongly recommended.

Re: The Barclays and other non-Lloyds/TSB Bank thread
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 ...

Re: The Barclays and other non-Lloyds/TSB Bank thread
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 ...

Re: The Barclays and other non-Lloyds/TSB Bank thread
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...

Re: The Barclays and other non-Lloyds/TSB Bank thread
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 ...

Re: The Technology Thread
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...
