The main "M&S" sign on the newly-finished Princes Street store looks a bit odd, doesn't it? Because its so short it just seems to look a bit stranded stuck on that long black fascia.scottishtv wrote:Anyway, they've annoyed me with what they've done to the Edinburgh store - "Your M&S" doesn't lend itself to outdoor store signage very well as it's too short and a bit daft.
i was extraordinarily excited to see a branch of barclays in spain, even more so when i had reason to go in. it was just like a real barclays - but all in spanish, with spanish people, spanish signs and everything. it was just a desk plonked in the middle of it with one woman behind it - no counters or owt.StuartPlymouth wrote:Gibraltar is certainly an experience not to be missed.

I think the thought of a Morrisons in a different country is more exciting than I can put into words!
The police all have UK style uniforms, the phone boxes are all like the old style red ones (well they were when I visited), the currency looks very similar to UK coins and banknotes. Walking down the main street is very similar to any High Street in the UK, with many recognisable names. The only difference is the noticable heat, and the fact that every so often you can see a plane landing at the top of the road - the runway crosses the top of the main road!. To enter Gibraltar from Spain you have to walk or drive across the runway.
they have "your m&s" on the sign? Dundee only has M&S.scottishtv wrote:"Your M&S" doesn't lend itself to outdoor store signage very well as it's too short and looks a bit daft. Also, how dare they relegate the former great sandwich shop at street level to two small fridges in the basement.
My news is..... I went to the all-new Morrisons in Dundee, and loved it!StuartPlymouth wrote:What is your news then Hyma. I'm sure you won't be shunned or exiled because of your revelation (even if it's that you have found Maddy).Hymagumba wrote:I have some news btw, I fear if I reveal it however I might be shunned and forced to leave the forum
Did you want to slightly re-phrase that, before anyone who's been here quite a while possibly gets the wrong impression?Hymagumba wrote:Mr Hyma (who had never been to a non-safeway morrisons) was in awe at the bananas in particular.
No, I think it's just fine as it is.Nick Harvey wrote:Did you want to slightly re-phrase that, before anyone who's been here quite a while possibly gets the wrong impression?Hymagumba wrote:Mr Hyma (who had never been to a non-safeway morrisons) was in awe at the bananas in particular.
The third version, 'MARKS & SPENCER' written in full, is used on the new signage outside the store in Brighton city centre. Looks quite nice, too.scottishtv wrote:Sorry Martin, but you'll never see that third variation on any products or signage.martindtanderson wrote:Speaking of supermarket re-brands, here is the evolution of Marks & Spencer...
If it was for waste, then yes that is the procedure, all waste has to be written onto a daily Waste sheet, one for each department and then that is handed back to the Administration department and they feed it in the Computers upstairs.Hymagumba wrote:oh a question for any morrisons team members. I noticed a girl going around the store the other day collecting waste food with a pen and paper. Surely this is not the actual system? In M&S we scan things on little handheld terminals and transmit them back to the computer.
sorry, i've just reread this. morrisons had to discount for staff off their food until last month?nwtv2003 wrote:Staff are finally allowed to use their swipe discount cards from tomorrow, 10% off everything except Cigarettes, Lottery, Petrol and some lines of Baby food. We've had a discount system for a while now, it was 12.5% off non-food items, but you had to write it down on a sheet, get a supervisor or manager to sign it and then get your money back in 6 weeks. But all change from tomorrow, thank heaven.
Yep that is right, the new discount is better, works better with the offers, such as Frijj milkshakes, 3 for 90p!Hymagumba wrote:sorry, i've just reread this. morrisons had to discount for staff off their food until last month?nwtv2003 wrote:Staff are finally allowed to use their swipe discount cards from tomorrow, 10% off everything except Cigarettes, Lottery, Petrol and some lines of Baby food.
