Re: Another High Street Rebrand

I’m not convinced anyone actually bought pick n mix from Woolworths to be honest. It was just there. You'd be lucky to get a look in for a scoop in Nottingham on Saturdays or during half term, the place was always full of kids filling up cups on their way to the cinema and whatnot. Wilko was the sa...

Re: Another High Street Rebrand

I think it's the first time they've brought back such a recent era with these retro editions

Re: Media Talk Forum Watch News and Information Board

Well, I figured I would 'sign up' to see the hubbub, but this is perhaps one of the worst sign up processes that I have seen in my life. 'Ask for my parent/guardian's permission'? Send an email to whom? Guys, this is just ludicrous. In defence of the forum / phpBB's default sign-up process, it appe...

Re: Media Talk Forum Watch News and Information Board

nearly all have a website that offers for sale Viagra and Cialis When you're my age, that's not such a bad thing! Though it's much easier and safer to get the appropriate pills via your local pharmacy these days. They'll even deliver it in a plain package that doesn't say "flaccid" on it.

Re: Pres Cafe Watch News and Information Board

A few days ago I was made so that all my posts have to be pre approved. I have no idea why, I've never received any warnings, or had any sort of messages from any of the admins raising any concerns, so I'm completely in the dark. After I asked why, one of the admins posted an "admin actions ar...

Re: How much would the licence fee have to rise before you would cancel it?

The licence fee isn't free for over-75s any more, unless one or more members of the household are over 75 and in receipt of pension credit.

They didn't have the guts to have them order doughnut cushions, that's the real failure

Re: Pres Cafe Watch News and Information Board

Some of the responses in the Carol Vorderman thread are incredibly patronising. Odd that the discussion hasn't been curtailed so far!

EDIT: And the thread is closed

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

HSBC have had a Digital Secure Key for a while now, which replaces the physical key.

I believe business accounts allow for both a digital key and physical key to be active at the same time.

Re: What's going on with all this gender stuff?

There is most definitely something which needs to be worked out. According to this report , trans hate crimes have increased significantly in the last year. The press (including the BBC) whips up a panic, the government go anti-trans to try and get one over on Labour, and - shock horror - there's a...

Re: High Street chain collapse sweepstake

This is a bizarre question but is anyone's local Wilko not discounting the own brand copier paper? Two branches I've been in near me have everything discounted but the copier paper, with it being sold at full price. I guess it must be sale or return - but even still, it's all still Wilko branded an...
