Re: High Street chain collapse sweepstake



Almost wondering how long before Asda ends up in here, with the total mess it's ending up under the Issa brothers.

Re: Pres Cafe Watch News and Information Board


While I do respect that the International Presentation forum mostly consists of posters just reposting links of TV continuities of channels who most of the time have rebranded recently, the response by the moderators to have more "discussion" feels genuinely arbitrary, especially considering the ...

It's like they saw the Arriva logo, and wanted to make their own version in that modern style. Ugh. Those colours are awful

I eep seeing ads that SCS has had a refresh in its stores, but for the life of me I cannot see any differences with how they were before

And a few months later, here we are. I'm surprised that clips from the pulled episode were on ITV News tonight.

Re: The Very Official McDonalds (and other fast food outlets) Thread

Went to my first Jolibees this weekend in Liverpool City Centre. The Chicken tenders are less greasy than KFC, and I think I prefer them. However, their fries are perhaps the weakest I've had at a fast food restaurant.

Re: The Technology Thread

Out of curisosity, Metropollers, did anyone get affected by the IT Outage yesterday? Personally, it was quite minimal in terms of impacting my day. The worst was the dot matrix screen at my station was not working, and my online Maccies order went a bit funny. Besides that, felt like it was a bit ...
