I mean I agree with what you are saying and that they shouldn't be locked up because of their political opinions, everyone has the right to express their opinions, I am only saying I find it annoying when I am trying to have a more peaceful time whenever this happens, I only want to walk down the st...

People distributing flyers for clubs and bars piss me off the most. I guess that's the same in any university city, though. They create a silly amount of litter, by the university in the day and down the High Street in the late evening. I only hope the places responsible pay something towards the c...

From what I have heard they are going to sell off a few stores to other supermarkets, because they were told to do so because of what the government and competition. But they are all being rebranded to Morrisons as I have been told so, so that means they will have crap like 'Market Street' and load...

Are all Safeway stores being rebranded as Morrisons then? I heard they were only doing the larger/smaller (can't actually remember which it was ;) ) stores and leaving the rest as Safeway. From what I have heard they are going to sell off a few stores to other supermarkets, because they were told t...

There's still an orignal Cash Converters in Stockton. There was an advert for Cash Converters on UK Gold the other day, so they're still going. And I walk past a thriving Cash Converters nearly every day on Lincoln High Street. There's still one in Warrington at The Cockhedge Shopping Park, so I ta...

It is very strange. They have taken a very long time to make changes. As mentioned above the Fosse Park store in Leicester has had the new colour scheme and logo for a couple of years, but still so many other stores/website don't use the new colour scheme or logo. No idea what is taking them so lon...

Course, eight years down the line, we've now got modern trains on crappy tracks and crappy trains on even crappier tracks. So much for privatisation. And Thank God Connex g...

In town yesterday there was a woman, I'd say in her early 60's, with a tea towel on her head, trying to get people to take leaflets about whatever is going on in the middle east. All it seemed to be doing was creating a litter problem. You should go round Manchester City Centre on a busy day, thats...
