Neither did I, but I'm sure cwathen will be along at some point with one of his fascinating posts about Wispa and where the others have gone...

At what point have I ever spoken about Wispa?

But anyway, Wispa rebranded to the slightly questionable name of Cadbury Dairy Milk Bubbles last year.

You don't get it with BT they keep changing their Internet service every 5 mins, it's either BT, BT Yahoo, and I am sure there was something else in between that and LineOne.

IIRC, LineOne was their paid ISP, and until about 1999/2000 BT also had a free ISP called BT Click.

It has just come to me, whatever happened to CIC, they always stuck their idents on loads of videos, usually Paramount ones. But I remember they had a scarier ident in the early 1990's. Also whatever happened to Tempo Video? AFAIK, the CIC brand was a joint collaboration between Paramount and Unive...

I thought the Co-Op had taken over the Alldays chain?

All the Alldays stores near me changed to Local Plus in 2002.

Is that really part of Co-Op since they now seem to be replacing all their old store brands with the 'your local co-op <place name>' brand?

The store in Plymouth (which also has to be a ca...

Yep, I'd definately go for spray paint if you want it to look half decent, a bit of clear laquer on top would work wonders too and help prevent it rubbing off. All that said though, if it's just to make beige drives look nice in a black case, if you've got a few extra quid it's a lot less hassle jus...

An old thread, but I've only just spotted it... The video for Wuthering Heights is the most wonderful piece of dance after Ison's famous curtains dance on webcam. it's a sheer masterpiece of it's day. Especially the bit with the funny walk. Yep, that video is brilliant, aswell as Kate's performance ...

Rumbelows (Rental Shops) Closed down by Thorn-EMI in 1995. Ferguson Television Sets Still going. Granada Televisons & Videos ( I know someone who had both of these up until last year) Granada-branded equipment (like Rediffusion branded equipment) was just rebadged stock from other manufacturers...

I did know that supermarket fuel was generally of lower quality, but didn't think it was an issue unless you had a higher performance car - I thought my 1.1 Rover Metro would run pretty much the same on anything and so always filled up at with ordinary Sainsburys ULS (whose forecourt in Plymouth see...
