Were people as interested in your rota as on the rota threads?

Perhaps there could be a discussion about all toilet habits. Although that may not be particularly desirable, and also all the talk of shite may result in too much of an overlap with the TV Forum Watch thread.
Yes, the last thing we want is a picture of someone's toilet creeping into the wrong thread. It'd be a moderation nightmare.

I always find the Morrisons toilets notably good...

On another note, I've not been a to Co-Operative yet that has a public toilet..

I've written a blog on them - not about toilets but nevertheless - http://ukretailers.blogspot.co.uk/2012/ ... -food.html

I actually hate the pseudo John Hannah voice who says, "Gʊd with Fʊd".

Our Tesco Warfield needs a revamp, looking a bit old, been around since early 1980's! Indoors is getting revamped slowly, the Bakery and Cafe (now Costa) has been 'newened' :ugeek:

Worse - in the latest ad, it sounds like the voice is immitating the previous one.

I walked past the recall notice for Fruit Shoot in Tesco today, and I noticed light blue SELs for the missing juice - are they used for anything else, or for only that specific purpose?

It has came to my attention that there seems to be an odd craze in Germany for Supermarkets to have their own songs, and indeed for people to make songs about them.

Please observe the following examples.

Edeka's "Wir lieben Lebensmittel" or "We love groceries"



and these three chaps singing about REWE


(ja! for those unaware, is REWE's own brand).

Perhaps this could become a thing over here?

Also I may have an odd thing about going to Germany and coming back with bags for life instead of actual souvenirs :(

What I want to know is how unprofessional signs like this get stuck up. If Tesco cared about their brand surely this wouldn't happen?
