Have you ever seen a big one? If you do, give it a go, I think you'll be pleasantly surprised.

Re: High Street chain collapse sweepstake

It’ll be a big loss if it does close entirely. I never fully trust the quality or how consistent the range will be at the likes of Poundland or B&M. I’m not entirely sure being squeezed out by online is as much of an issue as the commentators on the news keep saying. Surely people tend to buy t...

Re: Pres Cafe Watch News and Information Board

I'm not sure what has suddenly attracted the conspiracy theorists, and conspiracy theorists hiding behind bothsidesism, to show just how gullible they are in the GB News thread regarding climate change.

Re: Public Transport in your particular part of the region

Watching BBC Breakfast this morning, I heard that RNIB research found that just 3% of blind people can successfully use self-service ticket machines. If you get the chance, it's worth a watch (the interview was at about 8:20). I think the issue was nearly summarised by the suggestion that if it's no...

Re: Pres Cafe Watch News and Information Board

I note that a post claiming a camera from Studio B came off its tracks whilst on air has disappeared. I presume this is because of an ongoing investigation by the Rail Accident Investigation Branch.

Re: Pres Cafe Watch News and Information Board

I see that threads on Pres Café are now readable to non-members. I think it's especially useful on a forum where the first post in a thread is rarely the most enticing.

Re: Pres Cafe Watch News and Information Board

Regardless of people's thoughts on individual members, I can't say I particularly understand the rationale or care for the execution of this posting subject to approval. Surely, if somebody has broken the rules or their posts are so repeatedly contentious that they need to be pre-moderated, they sh...

Re: Another High Street Rebrand

It looks like all EG petrol stations will be fully rebranded as Asda, not just the stores themselves. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-65720635 That's surely going to mean a noticeable reduction in BP/Shell/Esso/Texaco's presence across the UK. Some of their petrol stations are pretty long in th...

Re: Pres Cafe Watch News and Information Board

Don't think so, as the problem is most noticeable when trying to view page 39 of the Schofield thread. Other pages in that thread seem to load fine, so which suggests there's some bad code in one of the posts that is affecting the page. I think the server crashed last night, whereas previously some...
