I very much doubt a demutualisation proposal would be supported by members, even if they somehow worked around charitable assignment.

Re: High Street chain collapse sweepstake

None of it's in stock yet, but if just half of what's promised materialises then that is *a lot* of own brand GM lines to carry for an online retailer; unless they're planning to put all this Wilko branded stock in to The Range as well? To answer my own question, according to my local terrible qual...

Re: High Street chain collapse sweepstake

I'm not sure Wilko should have it's test server publically live but it 100% is - https://www.wilko-it.com/en-uk/. Definitely not a scam site, just came across it accidently when looking for how to look after some seeds I got from Wilko and it keeps getting updated including having The Range head of...

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

There's nothing to work out, except what we need to do as a society to ensure it's not a problem. None of this is complicated, unless you want it to be. There is most definitely something which needs to be worked out. According to this report , trans hate crimes have increased significantly in the ...

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

Nationwide have rebranded. Their old logo was dated but the new branding has got a very 90s feel. They’ve taken the heavily stylised church behind the house out of their logo. I think that would have attracted the ire of the right-wing press a decade ago, but I suspect even they won’t care these da...

Re: High Street chain collapse sweepstake

Seems to be standard with what Poundland are doing - weirdly the Worcester one you mentioned has all new shelving installed with the exception of the Wilko Candyking (Pick & Mix) fittings, which they've kept even though they don't match the normal stuff Poundland use. Did anyone get any bargains...

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

apparently they've finally updated their ancient banking app so you don't need the stupid wee calculator card reader to send tiny amounts of money any more. i'm a shameless "oh i'll sort the bill" person on nights out (I want the Amex points) but there was always one colleague who used pa...

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

Not sure I have a different answer for those last 3 other than 'who cares', too. The last one is a bit loaded because of the rape stuff, but why is gender part of that argument - how much rape goes on in prison every single day? How about we sort the issue out rather than cherry picking isolated in...

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

Counter-question, what's the problem with people changing genders? I think that's a really interesting question. So to answer it, and your wider point, we need to clarify what we mean by changing genders. As far as I can tell, a trans identity is understood to be any of the strands below, each buil...
