My local Sainsburys still has one, though I've never noticed anyone using it. We don't have black cabs in Cornwall, so there's no-one to argue the toss.

They never taught you how to spell Grammar then? Only mentioned because you've always been such a stickler in the past. :smile:

No chippy would get away with offering so few chips, though, so as so often with Mr Martin's enterprise it's smoke and mirrors stuff.

In Cornwall you'd pay £12 to £15 now, a lot more at Rick Stein's clip joint (sorry, chip joint).

I only joined the 'voluntary' Combined Cadet Force at school because the alternative was extra woodwork, or 'craft' as it was mysteriously termed at my school.

Even worse when you remember you moved into a bungalow last year. ;)

It's amazing how people with obvious disabilities are invisible to many people. As the world as a whole takes an ever more right wing trajectory, in which I'd include this country, the seriously disabled will be met with an increasingly National Socialist 'solution' to their problems. In the...

Latest Republican election poster has three names on it; TRUMP (large letters in white) VANCE (smaller letters in red) KENNEDY (smaller letters in white) The effect, to me, is to draw the eye to the first and third names, as they take up about the same width on the poster, with the...

I'd cite two measures that were set to be introduced, but now won't be. One has had very little publicity that I know of, but was on page 2 of the Times over a month ago now. This was that when prisoners who were wrongly convicted and released after years of incarceration, their miserly...

That;s terrible news, I had no idea that was going to happen. Must get round to reading the pile of Buses magazines I've got stashed up in my living room!

I hear Liz Truss is learning Gselic and viewing a Billy Connolly box set to get the accent:D.

If he is, his ghost will haunt us. 1724676260 I think that's a very fair and measured assessment. I'd just add that, in this time of talk about 'two-tier' policing, the state pension is also a 'two-tier' affair, with older pensioners being stuck forever on a lower rate with the gap ever widening.

Is it really a surprise, though? Leaving aside the cost of tickets, a Test Match against sides like West Indies, Sri Lanka and Ireland are often quite likely to be completed before the end of the third day, which Friday was. Sri Lanka did pretty well in the circumstances, with most of their team...

In a Popemobile?

A common view on a lot of the American TV political chat shows is that a substantial proportion of the Kennedy supporters were unlikely to vote anyway, so definitely won't do so now. The man may bear the Kennedy name, but to attach himself to Trump when the latter had made such offensive remarks...

Don't quite understand your remark about Tony Blair. John Smith was in no position to comment on his effect given it was Smith's death that brought Blair to the leadership. Starmer has certainly proved the point that so many made before the election that the voting was going to be much more on...

It is now, but for years it wasn't. Reward Card prices used to be displayed on selected individual items in stores, well before Tesco and then Sainsbury replicated the practice. In addition, in the late 1990s as an incentive to spend more, if your bill was £50 say, one week you'd be given a £20...

Some programmes were sold to foreign TV companies, and I believe episodes have been retrieved that way. Seem to remember mention of an African TV station turning some up.

I get that - what I don't get is that a part time minimum wage possible student staff member at Sainsburys, or other supermarket for that matter, is able to deal with the matter satisfactorily. Most customers won't be presenting fake vouchers. Actually, I suspect it's a Sainsburys only problem...

I object to any store which requires you to enter through automatic doors, but then only allows you out when you have passed through the checkout area and another set of automatic doors. That is how my local Lidl is, so I've only been in it once.
