Re: Yet another Morrisons thread

Wouldn't be surprised if they're in serious trouble soon, the stores are dead half the time now yet you can go to the ASDA or Tesco 5 minutes down the road and they're packed. Going down hill big time and fast and it's not unique to one store either. Even popped into the big one at Harrogate the ot...

Re: High Street chain collapse sweepstake

I recently visited an Extra service station and it was very nice but, that logo is definitely designed to look as similar to McDonald’s isn’t it? (It had a Burger King). https://extraservices.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/Extra_SkeltonLake_July2020-96-2.jpg Do we have an official thread on motor...

Re: High Street chain collapse sweepstake

Speaking of Primark - they seem to be having a great time at the moment. Every time I go into one, no matter where, there always seems to be a huge queue for the tills. They seem to have found a niche for homeware stuff with either Harry Potter or Mickey Mouse plastered all over them.

Re: Shops with excessive tannoy announcements

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

I assume the banks know what branches are being used and what aren't - that's not to say that's their main driver for choosing which to close, though. My current banking anecdote is courtesy of my wife, who's just become treasurer of a society; and initially couldn't get herself added to the bank a...
