Re: Another High Street Rebrand

I like to think the people who say they miss being able to shop for Pick n' Mix the most whenever the latest high street chain goes bust are the same people who in every survey done say they want more high brow programming about culture and the arts, and less programming like Jeremy Kyle. Of course...

Re: Pres Cafe Watch News and Information Board

While I also received a warning for talking about politics, I thought what I posted about Donati's line of questioning being along the lines of what state run TRT World peddles out on a daily basis which is pro-Palestinian.

It seems I missed the Christmas entertainment courtesy of Kojak or whatever he's called himself this time.

I'll stick to Pres Cafe all the same.

Jimbo does the same on DS. He's more known over there for his spelling errors.

Re: Fragrances

Lynx reminds me of my teenage years trying all the different scents, but I couldn't tell you which one was best.

Re: The Barclays and other non-Lloyds/TSB Bank thread

I'm still on Visa with Natwest when they were just starting to issue Mastercard replacements when I had my card replaced in 2022. Not that it's a major issue, but it's clearly a long process to move everyone across. It's still valid until 2025. 6 of my 7 Natwest Group cards are now Mastercard. Thre...

Re: High Street chain collapse sweepstake

The Range owner Chris Dawson was interviewed for Plymouth Herald/Plymouth Live about his expansion plans for Wilko and The Range. They've purchased the old Debenhams in Chelmsford for The Range while 50 stores are apparently with "the lawyers" regarding reopening as Wilko. It will concentr...
