Went into a NatWest branch for the first time today to make a transfer, as I could only pay a certain amount via the app as I hadn't paid the payee before, and because to do a higher amount online you need the card reader, which I didn't have as I was at work. A quite baffling experience ensued! Ne...

Where was I? Ah yes. What's the procedure, I wonder, with removing 'hole in the wall'-style cashpoints from a building that was once a bank but no longer is? Saw a huge old ex-Barclays the other day (complete with the night-safe still intact on the wall) still with some very modern Barclays ATMs on ...

Noticed a couple of oddities when in Norwich city centre recently - firstly Primark seem to have taken to knocking down their previous premises and rebuilding it, meaning they've temporarily shifted into the old BHS (I wonder what they'd have done if BHS hadn't collapsed and there wasn't a massive u...

So what was said? Would you complain if the panel were made up of four Brexiteers? In any case, you have no idea how Tom Newton Dunn voted. I’ve been in conversation with the Executive Producer of the programme, and he’s taken great care to ensure that the discussion is editorially balanced, includ...

Quite like some of the bus stop adverts Lidl are doing at the moment, where they've made it look like they've stuck a poster advertising their (cheaper) product over a more expensive one elsewhere. Looks like there's two variants, one which is supposed to be for M&S mince pies, where you can see...

As others have said, i think the future is really uncertain! We're certainly wasting time discussing May's draft deal at the moment because it'll never get voted through/accepted by a majority of people, but as cwathen says it's unlikely that anyone else could actually put something more agreeable o...

Is someone on the Children in Need thread doing a Tumble Tower homage? I swear 'Well done, [insert company name here]' whenever a corporate total is announced is his thing!

Popped into an Express store on the way home tonight that I imagine does a lot of trade during the week with workers on their lunch break. The store has a bank of five or so of the self-service checkouts that don't have a scale and just a shelf beneath them to save space/time, along with three more ...

When was the last time we had an intermission from a parent? I definitely remember seeing posts from a particularly foul-mouthed parent (again, probably in the Gallery) but it must have been some time ago now! Personal highlight of the Vimeo post was, that after all the unnecessary postings surround...

In contrast, I'd say that all the One Stops local to me are in more affluent areas - definitely not places I'd consider as 'downmarket' by any stretch of the imagination! Wouldn't even say that either store I'm thinking of is that different in size to an Express. One is only a ten minute walk from a...
