Re: High Street chain collapse sweepstake
Given it's no longer "Everything £1", maybe the Poundland name should be retired? Isn't it called Dealz in Ireland, where the currency is the Euro so the Poundland name wouldn't make sense? The Dealz name doesn't mention a specific price or currency, so it's futureproof. In the days where...

the FAQ specifically says you can re-add your card to your digital wallet if you want to get the new design.BBC TV Centre wrote: ↑Sat 07 Oct, 2023 10.02
I wonder if this generic image on the site is what our cards might look like in future:
Maybe it'll grow on me.

Re: E-bike rental
The idea of going 40mph on one of those things gives me the heebie-jeebies. I've only tried escooters when they were on the pilot programme in the Olympic Park and even top speed on one of those felt a bit precarious in a way that the same speed on a bike wouldn't - I think it's probably down to how...

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) ...

Re: The Technology Thread
I've just replaced my Pixel 4a (a 2020 model) because the software support has run out. It's otherwise fine. At least they've said they'll give me £100 for it, so hopefully it's not going to be e-waste. (I say I've just replaced it - I mean I bought a new handset in the Google birthday sale the othe...

Re: High Street chain collapse sweepstake
I was in the Walthamstow one today, and they were entirely cleared out in most departments. Not sure how it compares to other branches, but any new owner is going to have to invest a lot into stock if they wanted to keep it as a going concern.

Re: Energy bills: How spanked will YOU get?
broadband feels pretty non-core to them - I can see them selling it on to someone else pretty quickly.

Re: High Street chain collapse sweepstake
I like Wilko for the same reason I like AmazonBasics stuff - generic stuff, but you at least there's a level of quality control you might not get elsewhere (particularly with the stuff with the random jumble of letters that's cluttering Amazon these days)

Re: Another High Street Rebrand
Just saw a TV ad for Halifax bank, with what looked like an updated logo on it - it's no longer stripy and has a new font. I normally log in to Bank of Scotland's online banking, but had cause to use the Halifax-skinned version of it today, and see that they're still using the old branding on there...

Re: High Street chain collapse sweepstake
in the Monument branch, the manual checkout is next to a manual gate - ie you pay for stuff and can 'just walk out'.
