Hmm, I know what you mean, but those businesses are still the same basic organisations, many of same management and staff, same premises, offices, warehouses, shops. Mainly. Just bought or invested by new parties. In the case of Sainsbury's, the family still own 5%, I see. When Walmart bought...

Geez, this forum is seeping into my everyday life. I accidentally called someone Mr. Vol-au-vent and everybody looked at me as if I were mad! 🥴

Not so much in price/value but in item selection. Tote Bags, holdalls, security cameras, metal embossed jewellery boxes, wireless chargers, doorbell cameras, soundbar. Bit better than walking canes, copper-infused socks and plastic parrots. Somebody looks as if they're at least trying to buy...

Well that's what our Peter charges when he's out there with his 'clients'. Did you pay 'Bet' who does all the admin? I mean, did you actually see the masseur's face when you were face down and all were obscured by the steam? 🧖‍♂️♨️🛖

Btw, 'thought you'd like to know I received my first ever items ordered from IW3. The hand-made wooden storage boxes. The RM Tracked 24 postage label (and the pre-paid return label) both still have return address as Shop TJC!!!!

Is it me, or are the items on IW3 sloooowwwllly improving to be a bit better than the market trader, back of a lorry loader stuff from TJC up until now? Slazenger bag, Xenta soundbar. P.S. Many pensioners must have money... Look at all of 'em buying this tat on IW! 😜

Nope. As replied/referenced 3 million pensioner millionaires: - Intergenerational Foundation The current OAPs are the post-war Boomer generation who had low property prices, full employment, defined benefit company golden pension schemes, full state pension, stamp paid and benefited from...

Harry Potter grows up and schemes with Elphaba Thropp, from Wicked, the Wicked Witch of the West, in a new mashup- musical: The Ideal Harry Potter and the Wicked World

In 2018–2020 there were approximately 11,619,000 individuals in the 65+ age cohort, of which 27% lived in a household with a total wealth above £1,000,000. This implies that there were approximately 3,137,000 individuals aged 65+ who lived in a household with a total wealth above £1,000,000 in...

They probably just want you to buy twice! Go on, 'ave a multi-buy. But one for everyone in the family. For friends. For relatives. For the person down the end of the road that you fancy!

I fell for Binatone, not Amstrad. Saw something about Sugar on a BBC doco that credited him with the idea of combining the tuner/tape/deck and amp, instead of separate units, saving money and simplifying the design/cost to make music centres cheaper for the masses.

When the country is 2 trillion in debt and an annual deficit of 80bn, why should all (10m) pensioners get £300 a year, for winter fuel, irrespective of income? Of course it should be means-tested. Yes, the boundary maybe should be a bit higher than the pension credit income limit, but it would...

Xenta sound bar. No S/pdif fibre connection, or hdmi, just a left/right phono sockets cable connection to the TV. And Bluetooth connectivity. Remote controller. Not bad for £39.99 I guess?

Saw this a few days ago. Caption competition.

Well a snug used to be the comfy closed-off bit of the bar seating area of a pub. At home, it's probably a room/study/shed housing man-cave stuff, hobby kit, gym or a small pineapple cocktail bar/alcohol dispensary!

I thought it already had. 😜

Well at least it's 'tech'. Will watch the YouTube catch-up, but what was it? I bought a Roku Streambar (a 4K Roku IPTV box with a built-in Dolby soundbar, like a Bose soundbar form-factor function) for significantly under £100.

I would abolish the party system. It encourages 'groupthink'. And lack of independent, innovative or original thought and voices. We want representatives who do exactly that, stand for their own thoughts and policies, not adopt those of others, and stand on their policies and views, that their...
