Re: The Barclays and other non-Lloyds/TSB Bank thread
I wonder how much of this is Nationwide trying to get a better online banking platform? Their current IT is well in need of an overhaul, whereas much of Virgin Money is quite modern - I have a feeling it's based on Clydesdale's short-lived B brand. That said, I recently opened an ISA with them and ...

Re: The Barclays and other non-Lloyds/TSB Bank thread
Looks like Virgin Money is going to be disappearing over the next few years. Nationwide strikes deal to buy Virgin Money for £2.9bn My debit card is due for renewal in 2026, after the previous Yorkshire Bank one was replaced early due to the rebrand. I wonder if this one will also end up being repl...

Re: The Barclays and other non-Lloyds/TSB Bank thread
Looks like Virgin Money is going to be disappearing over the next few years. Nationwide strikes deal to buy Virgin Money for £2.9bn Wow, that's come from the blue. It seems along with Coventry's attempts to acquire the Co-op Bank that there's a real reversal from the position 20-30 years ago where ...

Re: The Technology Thread
Agree A series are perfectly competent devices. The standout feature of S series over A (and even Z) series for me is the quality of the camera. A and Z series phones have 'good', S series is 'great' (rule of thumb, I'm sure there are exceptions). I think OLED screens were a differentiator previousl...

Re: The Technology Thread
How about something like this? Gives you a 3.5mm output and you can still charge too. https://amzn.eu/d/0jViC0T Another potential solution for that case is a wireless charging mat (I have one as a backup in case my USB port packs up). For better or worse, the direction of travel on this is clear. S...

Re: The Technology Thread
Over in the Android world, last time I replaced my phone a few years ago I opted for an S10 even though the S20 and S21 had both been released by then. Mainly because I really wanted to keep a 3.5mm audio jack and and the S10 was still better than any then new Samsung handset which had one and at t...

Re: With all the recent inflationary price rises, is there stuff you just won’t pay for now?
Virgin Media, waited for the contract to *actually* expire then had a proper go at them. The CityFibre rollout means they can no longer call my bluff on moving to Sky "you'll be happy with 34mb will you?" Now have gigabit and still (some) tv for £45. And the Superhub 5 is actually decent ...

£15 :o
I spend less than half that and I feel like that's an indulgence given what £4 buys these days.

Re: With all the recent inflationary price rises, is there stuff you just won’t pay for now?
I haven't had Sky since 2017 when I moved house. They wanted me to commit to a 12 month contract with a less than 50% discount (which is essentially what I'd had since joining in 2010), which I wasn't willing to do. My intention was to wait it out for the inevitable follow up calls/offers, or maybe ...

Re: Pres Cafe Watch News and Information Board
Nothing wrong with the policy though. If it has the TV Ark logo on it for example, and it's not from TV Ark or it's associated social media channels, then of course it should be removed. That watermark they use is there for a reason. If they replace the video link like for like, then fine, idc If t...
