Re: Pres Cafe Watch News and Information Board

To quote the Women Spice: 2 become 1. [/b] In what has admittedly been something I thought would eventually happen, the closure of TVTF leaves Pres Cafe as the sole successor, following the exodus from the purple place. I think it probably comes as no surprise that one of the websites would merge i...

Re: The Tesco & other non-Morrisons supermarket thread

The Sunday Trading Act would be one of my first things to dispose of when I take over. I think workers should be entitled to have a shorter day on Sunday, but on the flipside, restaurants and bars make a lot of money from it. I think if it were to happen, then workers should be entitled to either m...

Re: Another High Street Rebrand

Royal Mail Group plc has changed its name to International Distributions Services plc, a name possibly worse than Consignia. https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/994411/royal-mail-confirms-name-change-to-international-distributions-services-994411.html# Why!?

Re: Another High Street Rebrand

Just seems to sell a load of old tat if you ask me. I can’t see it surviving long term, it just doesn’t seem to have anywhere near enough of things being sold. Objectively, yes it is. I don't particularly understand why they choose to sell plushies and anime figures, but it has its audience. I know...

Re: Pres Cafe Watch News and Information Board

Now we have another user on Pres Cafe who is being very aggressive for no other reason than seemingly, 'just because'. Some of these guys are unbelievably tone deaf

Re: Another High Street Rebrand

HMV is currently rebranding as The HMV Shop. https://www.grand-arcade.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/Round_Logos-03.png The Cardiff branch has been closed for several weeks for a refurb. Ask me 5 years ago if I thought HMV would go down this route, I'd have said 'They'll probably be closed before...

Re: Pres Cafe Watch News and Information Board

A lot of people were moaning about a voice over, which lasted about 20 seconds. They seem to have forgot everything else about the funeral broadcast. Just sad really that is came to that on the day. A mark is left on that forum. Some of the comments on that thread, to me, seemed low key racist. Or ...

Re: Queen Elizabeth II

Just had to pop out for a battery for a clock. The great British public seem to be convinced that all the shops will shut for the next two weeks for the Queen's funeral. I know, right? I have seen countless people on Twitter getting upset because 'Tesco was shut for a day, now I can't get xyz'. It ...

Re: Pres Cafe Watch News and Information Board

I didn't want to say it, but I guess you already have. This is going to be the biggest thing that both forums have covered, and probably ever will In the context of a TV presentation forum, I think a presentation change on BBC One, Two, ITV or C4 is a bigger deal. In that context, yes, but I am tal...

Queen Elizabeth II

London Bridge is Down, and this day marks the end of an era, as the UK's longest reigning monarch has died, after months of poor health. Be we monarchists, or republicans, or somewhere in between, this is probably the biggest historical event of modern times. Elizabeth II, the Queen who oversaw the ...
