Re: Another High Street Rebrand
Everyone calls it Smiths, so changing to WHS seems daft. What nobody on either tweet chain has suggested despite that coming up, though, it that maybe they can't just call it just Smiths, because of Smyths Toys. Maybe they should've adopted a logo with a similar layout to the old BBC One branding. A...

Re: The Tesco & other non-Morrisons supermarket thread
The Asda in Downpatrick, Northern Ireland was destroyed last month by flooding. They're having to demolish it and rebuild.

Re: The Barclays and other non-Lloyds/TSB Bank thread
Yeah, the TV advert acts like they are a bank, not a building society. Are they planning to demutualise?

Re: High Street chain collapse sweepstake
Looks like Poundland are running these shops with a very light touch rebranding: https://www.sloughobserver.co.uk/news/23824921.wilko-reopens-poundland-today-maidenhead-high-street/ I imagine it's temporary but I expected them to close and put their normal fit out (which isn't especially elaborate)...

Re: The Technology Thread
Non-user replaceable batteries should be banned on the grounds it creates more e-waste.
And it's odd - top of the line phones lack the 3.5mm port now, but my cheap one bought only last year still does have it. Cheaper phones wouldn't normally be expected to have features expensive ones don't!

Re: 🥳🥂 20 years of Metropol 🎂🎈
The usual branding for the forum actually looks more dated than this one - due to it being based on the London 2012 Olympic Games logo. So I'm inclined to agree.

Re: High Street chain collapse sweepstake
51 stores going to B&M, 52 closing outright... that would leave about 300, which I guess is what Putman intends to take on?

Re: High Street chain collapse sweepstake
The stock checker by the way is complete nonsense, I wanted to buy some back brushes which the stock checker claims there are 15 in stock. They were sold out. While I could have gone to B&M on two buses, I ended up buying one on Amazon. Yeah, I checked the site for a universal remote control, a...
