Re: Lovely Lightbulbs
My kitchen, of the no window + 5x GU10 fame, has now been upgraded to Philips Hue bulbs with a motion sensor and its the best thing I've done in ages. Being able to just leave them to turn themselves on / off and have them come on dimmer at night is a real timesaver. The Hue app itself though is a b...

Re: High Street chain collapse sweepstake
Not sure if it's been mentioned on here but it the cafes are independent aswell as the North Shields one is currently trying to flog the furniture off on Facebook and has confirmed they're getting the boot because of it. interesting that Wilco are the landlord for them, I'd have thought, given the ...

Re: High Street chain collapse sweepstake
North Shields is an odd store. It's the former Safeway in The Beacon Centre (covered town centre disguised as a mall). The cafe had stayed the same since Safeway closed in about 1994 (when they put their focus on the larger Whitley Bay branch) and there are several small sublet units (cobbler etc) t...

Re: Public Transport in your particular part of the region
Although I've got used to it, personally I think Maccies was better the way it was before. And as said, they do still provide some sort of counter service if you want it.

Re: The Tesco & other non-Morrisons supermarket thread
I am hazarding a guess we're getting a pharmacy at the big Tesco to replace the counters. It's one of those Tescos where the counters are in the middle of the store and the bit they've sealed off includes the brand new Yo Sushi counter so not sure if thats being moved elsewhere or closed.

Re: The Barclays and other non-Lloyds/TSB Bank thread
One thing about Pay+ is it includes clubcard and, for staff, discount in one single scan. (M&S have also integrated their discount card into sparks I believe). It also had a much higher transaction limit than contactless. BTW is it just me or is tesco's mobile limit flakey? I been refused on app...
