It's a shame the lovely 20s signage has been covered over again.

A little bit more effort with the Poundland temporary signage in Seaham's former Wilko. https://www.thenorthernecho.co.uk/news/23871447.poundland-opens-old-wilko-store-byron-place-seaham/?ref=socialflow Yes, they appear to have secured a supply of teal stick on vinyl to cover up the Wilko burgundy.

apparently they've finally updated their ancient banking app so you don't need the stupid wee calculator card reader to send tiny amounts of money any more. i'm a shameless "oh i'll sort the bill" person on nights out (I want the Amex points) but there was always one colleague who used pa...

It's really bizarre their approach with Wilko. I really don't know why but I have a feeling in the future that Wilko will return in some form on the high street even if it's just effectively a mini Range.

I'm not sure Wilko should have it's test server publically live but it 100% is - https://www.wilko-it.com/en-uk/.
