Made a purchase in TG Jones, receipt said TG Jones but when the money was debit from my bank account it was WH Smith.
They're still using WHSmith's systems for at least a year after the sale.

My local Post Office Ltd branch was franchised at the end of October, so on my first visit back I noticed they've stopped selling the WHSmith branded stationary for no-name products.
Before the changes, if you topped up electricity or gas, they'd walk to the back office to top up there, now they have the Payzone terminal at the counter so they don't have to leave. Presumably the old terminal was connected to a phone line, while this one appears to work with WiFi.
