Re: The Co-op Thread
Co-op stores are currently doing a 'Spin-to-Win' promotion through the shopping app. What a palaver to redeem the winning voucher via self service. The till recognises it as a coupon and then asks for the coupon to go in the slot. Which you can't do as it's a QR code sent via email. In the end I wa...

Re: High Street chain collapse sweepstake
The main attraction of Paperchase were the decent prices after Christmas. I've got a fair few discounted rolls from January.
Their paper is still better than supermarket fare, but I'm a big fan of Clairefontaine wrapping paper for something strong and dependable.

Re: High Street chain collapse sweepstake
Yes, I will miss them if they go, they are useful - perhaps even more so than Woollies were. I don't know if it's the whole story but there was a period a few years ago when the shelves at Wilko were very bare - perhaps an attempt to reduce stock holding to free up capital which went badly wrong? N...

Re: Shops with excessive tannoy announcements
The Lidl system is particularly pleasant because the announcements are pre-recorded and high quality - and incredibly rare in a Lidl branch with self-service tills. B&M seems to vary from branch to branch, in my experience. Once new branch I've visited a few times had few announcements, but slig...

Re: Pres Cafe Watch News and Information Board
Another misery thread for the new ITN branding. Honestly think some posters would rather everything still looked how it did in the 80s. I take it that Pres Cafe is slowly looming towards its premature end? It wouldn't be much of a discussion forum if everyone agreed that everything was great. Hardl...

Re: The Telly Forum Watch News and Information Board
Is there a reason you've remained entirely anonymous? Speaking personally, the reason Is to avoid any direct abuse being hurdled at any member of the team. Also having seen some of the abuse RF received, I do not want to go down that road. But I'm not sure many people would join a forum run by some...
