Re: Fragrances

In the past year after using up Xmas presents I've been buying https://saltoftheearthnatural.com/ sprays. As well as online they're sold in Holland & Barrett, and some were in TK Max earlier in the year. I like the use of natural ingredients, and that they are refillable.

Re: Pres Cafe Watch News and Information Board

I feel like the non-news side of the forum is really quiet these days. Major new Saturday night primetime show on BBC One with unusual presentation into the start of it - no posts apart from mine. Could in part be a reflection of the state of linear TV these days, which overall these days is somewh...

Re: High Street chain collapse sweepstake

It's a pretty shrewd way of getting The Range into the high street using an established brand in Wilko. No surprise that the Plymouth based company will open up two stores in Devon first in Exeter and er...Plymouth. I wonder if one of the two 'South East' openings will be a London store? Not sure w...

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

Nationwide have rebranded. Their old logo was dated but the new branding has got a very 90s feel. They’ve taken the heavily stylised church behind the house out of their logo. I think that would have attracted the ire of the right-wing press a decade ago, but I suspect even they won’t care these da...

Re: What's going on with all this gender stuff?

As far as I can tell, a trans identity is understood to be any of the strands below, each building on the one above - for simplicity, since we're both guys, let's assume we are referring to me going through a male to female transition: 1. I tell you that I feel like I am a women, but make no change...

Re: The Tesco & other non-Morrisons supermarket thread

It's interesting to see the Tesco Value branding making an appearance on clothes. One of their latest offer leaflet also seems to have adopted this old-style look. In some respects it's slightly surprising that the Tesco Value (or the latter Tesco Everyday Value) hasn't make a return to their food p...

Re: The Technology Thread

My mid-range Samsung didn't come with a charger either. I think most of them now only come with a USB cable and not the plug. The excuse given that it reduces waste, as many people already have a plug and some plug their phone into a USB power socket these days. Rather conveniently by not including...

Re: Pres Cafe Watch News and Information Board

I see they've banned Russell Brand talk, presumably it was a moderating pain for them when the Schofe allegations came out? Sensible decision. I think that on balance I also agree with the decision. As things stand Brand has not even been arrested, let alone charged or found guilty. The allegations...

Re: Pres Cafe Watch News and Information Board

I notice that there's been discussion over changes to thr edit window on posts. I presume someone has been editing their posts to say "anyone who replies to this post is a massive bumhole", or similar. Does anyone know what was going on? Maybe they had a situation like TVF where a member ...

Re: High Street chain collapse sweepstake

Much stronger brand than their own and the website is much better aswell. £5m for a whole website, regardless to brand isn't that much in the grand scheme of things especially when it has recognition. I know Wilko has been selling on Amazon for quite awhile now. Wonder if long term they might trial...

I was tempted to post the following reply, which I probably stole from someone here years ago... https://up.metropol247.co.uk/Charlie%20Wells/goodbyecruelforum.jpg I didn't post it there as I knew at the very least it would understandably get removed. Think toys and pram spring to mind. Whilst I don...
