It was also Tesco who imposed a rather draconian (and pointless) one way system around each invidual aisle, as if covid could detect which direction it would go in. It was a boom time for sign printers.

It wouldn't surprise me, as to pass cyber security certifications (such as Cyber Essentials) the items in scope your network needs to be in date and supported if it is connected to an internet facing network, or be isolated otherwise. Plus, the cost of updating all these devices at a time when...

I was in central London for a meeting on Friday and couldn't help but notice how quiet the West End was at 9am outside Tottenham Court Road station.

I've been to London yesterday and touching in from a Zone 6 NR station, and noticed there's a preauth from the station itself for £1.20 (?). I've seen 10ps from TFL before (when riding the bus) but never the £1.20. Is this common when you travel from a non TFL controlled station? I've never...

This is quite interesting, who are your bankers Londonbridge? And what type of card is it - Visa, Mastercard etc? No one ever seems to pay particular attention to card merchant information - mine is always "TFL TRAVEL CHARGE" for the merchant, and location is a non-working address of...

If you don't have a printer at home, it's not necessarily a barrier to getting something printed. Someone you know (friend, relation etc) will probably have one. Alternatively there's libraries, printing shops, internet cafes all offer printing facilities at cost (even your work place if you...

Has anyone found these actually working recently? I remember when they put in all of the new wooden benches some of them had plug sockets and USB charge ports. However, I've noticed recently few, if any, actually work. Is this down to a lack of maintainence (or awareness that they are broken)...

In Waitrose the layouts of the loose items are not standardized, it seems that they are determined locally, on a store level. So what you see in one category in one store isn't the same for another, and also some of the items get placed on odd places as a result. I'm surprised people put large...

Has anyone noticed since the private equity takeover the levels of maintainence and staff morale has taken a plunge in Morrisons?

I always think they've lost their way a little (Lidl?), before they were focused on hard value, getting people through the tills as quickly as possible, no frills. I've noticed a lot less offers in the leaflet as the years ago by, with more of its pages dedicated to fluff - like the Lidl+ app...

Yes I have certainly noticed this. I think also the fact there is added latency when using a phone is due to the amount of cruft people have open (and slowing the phone down) as well as the multitude of places in which the NFC antenna is in relative to that on the reader (and the user's ability...

A lot of money! Here's a local shopping centre with a number of shops for let. https://www.loopnet.co.uk/Listing/Commercial-Way-Woking/28625529/ If we take one of the larger sized but not Wilko sized spaces (e.g. Unit 19) your bare initial costs for the year are £45k rent, 24k service charge...

The tissue beggars are particularly prevalent on the Piccadilly line. They often have a laminated and computer printed card wth their sob story on, you can tell it is very organised. The best thing to do is not to engage in any conversation, and they shall soon move onto the next marks if they...

You might also want to contact a few others too, such as BBC's Watchdog and the Guardian's consumer champions (contact details at the bottom of the piece). I do find it very strange that these airports can call themselves "London" airports when they're nowhere in London. Southend is in Essex...

Re Edmonton Green, if it's the one by the greenery outside that's wrapped in a grey protective cover on google maps, it looks like the ones TW have installed as part of their programme: https://www.thameswater.co.uk/about-us/responsibility/water-fountains.

The problem we have in terms of road repairs, and digging up roads is we don't seem to have any urgency and coordination. I always loathe sitting at temporary traffic lights around an empty hole in the road and no one working. Why are people not working 7 days a week on coordinated shifts to...

Which is exactly what I ended up doing, not for the cost of the fare, but I found somewhere to leave the car on the island and walk/bus it to where I needed to get to. I wasn't even aware of the additional screen after, but even still, the cheapest and most flexible offer should be presented...

Yes, I have seen these - I can't put my finger on it, but it's the verbiage they use on the posters and in the radio adverts that makes me gag a little. Rather than making people drive even slower, causing more congestion and pollution why not turn it on its head and encourage pedestrians to be...

Cat amongst the pigeons here, but just get paper CCST. Stick through the barrier, walk out, job done. It sounds like a load of faff having to mess around with different apps, standards, pdfs to your phone etc.

I have noticed SWR really push the "Advance Single" on their website to the detriment of other more flexible and cheaper fares for the passenger. For example, if I choose a little adventure to the seaside from my nearest station WYB to PMH leaving after 12:00 returning the same day after 17:00...
