Parachloroxylenol ( the active antiseptic component of Dettol) is a chlorinated aromatic organic compound. By their nature, chlorinated organic compounds dissolve greasy/ waxy /oily substances
such oil- based/acrylic paint. Hence the use of chlorinated organic solvents as degreasants and as paint-strippers.

Ah, thank you - I'll show him that, he'll be interested!
don't blame the whizz kids coding them (if its not vibe coded anyway), its the graphic designers and ux people who say these are much better (they very rarely are to the end users)
Indeed, I switched back to the old version straight away.
I'm sure I noticed the wording change on the switching back to the classic version to say something like switch to the classic version or give us feedback on the new version. It suggested to me that quite a lot of people had switched back!
I'm sure there was room for improvement in the old version but so much detail is just missing off the default view and it's more difficult to get a full overview.

The information on the screen is very clearly displayed and easy to read, but across the whole of the screen woefully little information is visible.

Men's underwear. Why is it so difficult to find what we used to call "Underpants" which for some reason are now called "Briefs"? Instead the displays in most department stores seem to consist of boxer shorts, trunks and goodness knows what else but very few items which you would class as underpants?

Vast majority of soft drinks are undrinkable now due to sugar tax and the subsequent reformulation to use sweetners. In cases like Irn Bru (I'm aware 1901 exists) and to a lesser extent Fentimans this was essentially cultural vandalism.
It is perfectly possible to make a relatively low calorie (c. 20 kcal/100ml) soft drink using just sugar as the sweetener. It didn't have to be this way.

When Mars Inc withdrew Marathon bars and replaced them with the tasteless sugary American rubbish they call Snickers. It's not even a proper name, what exactly is a Snicker and why they did they give a plural name to a singular product?
This has been debunked online before. Initially it was renamed not replaced, it's likely it was ruined in the years after of course.

Agreed, the old design is far clearer.
It was a poor person tax / "anything but raising income tax" exercise.
As now made obvious by Germany planning to tax sugar-free drinks. Once a government gets used to the taxation, and when it falls because it achieves the aims, the greedy goblins bray for more. £300m a year in the UK .. not to be sniffed at

Luxury ones probably, but "cheapest possible" ones that I go for have definitely improved over the years.
Unless, I have just had a horrifying thought... Mrs Centric is defying my express instructions at buying me them

I let you go earlier when you were pretending a Juke was a car, but c'mon that's neither a product nor a service. Just some sort of anontym to legend.

Indeed. Even M&S no longer refer to Y fronts.
M&S own brand pants could never be called Y-fronts as that is a trade mark.

Because they aren't what most people want. I expect this may have to do with people generally being a bit, er, heftier, than they were, because thigh chafe when wearing that sort of underwear is very real.
Me. It used the be the best website of all the bank or building societies I use (I use about eight) but it has gone to one of the worst. I have always used them as my main bank for day-to-day working but I am seriously thinking of moving to one of the others now. However you can still switch to old style, for now.
It is dumbed down and seems to be optimised for smartphones (guessing, I don't use it that way), not a PC screen. I don't know why they can't have both optimisations and I suspect it is because banks will eventually force all non-business users to access only via a phone app - it gives them more control.
Just one example, Nationwide now shown transactions ordered with latest at the top, with no option (like HSBC do have) to reverse the list as in a conventional bank statement. This seems to be because millennials and later generations only want to see what money they have right now, so they want that at the top. My daughter is an example of that - looking lower down the list seeing where the money has gone just frightens her.

I suspect you are in a tiny minority wanting them in the order you say, but given that implementing the option to change sort order is quite easy I'm surprised that isn't there.
You can download PDF statements from the Monzo app by the way, so if any other bank doesn't offer that they are just being rubbish.

Agree.
I was actually in favour of the tax when it was introduced, but I naively thought it would simply be a case of the soft drinks I like to drink being sold at a higher price rather than ruining the taste to get below the tax threshold.

Though it has caused the creation of more diet drinks (previously it was only really Coke you got in sugar free form, and that's full of caffeine so no good for late evening) and some of us appreciate that. I prefer sugar free soft drinks over sugary ones, the latter fuzz my teeth and put me on a sugar high when all I want is nice tasting hydration.
From my point of view that's definitely not ens****ification at all.

From mine, it most definitely is. Try finding anything without aspartame. Not easy, believe me. I have been living with a so-called 'complex' headache for over 20 years, and aspartame is one substance which reliably makes it worse.

As a suggestion, perhaps try buying freshly squeezed juice and diluting it, it's really quite nice if you do want a sugary drink.
I do sympathise but for most people the diet drinks are objectively better and some of us do prefer the taste.
