This is it. I used to be in there all the time, especially for a meal deal if I was near one during lunch but I'm not being held to ransom by them for not joining their daft club... I just want a BLT, a packet of crisps and a juice! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least the Spanish police will deal with them better than their UK counterparts 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottsdad Posted May 30 Share Posted May 30 I avoid the clubcard by shopping at Waitrose and M&S. Sometimes Harrods. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sherrif John Bunnell Posted May 30 Share Posted May 30 I'll give Tesco 4 quid for their meal deal if they can take it from my cold dead hands. They can sell my data to anyone they want as long as I get that 50p discount. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand the need to ensure services are working correctly but they should still acknowledge that, in 99.9% of car crashes, the car doesn't fly off the road on it's own. Somewhere there has to be responsibility on the poor decisions we make. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it doesn't apply, it doesn't apply. For a member of the "Royal Family" to use it, when representing "our" whole country, it's a huge disrespect. My late father would not have been happy to be remembered as someone who fought for "England" and neither would my late father in law. You're right to refer the waste of lives though. The commemoration is even more poignant when you remember that since 1945 we appear to have learned absolutely nothing from the carnage. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MazzyStar Posted June 5 Share Posted June 5 Watching the coverage of this you wouldn’t think the Soviet Union existed. The only mention I remember seeing today was some p***k on the BBC saying the soviets liberating France would have been worse than the nazi occupation! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I certainly wouldn’t describe myself as a royalist but at least his dad mentioned the fact that many nationalities took place in the landings and that troops were also involved in fighting in many other parts of the world at the time. I wonder if 1895 UK was as focused on the Napoleonic Wars as many in these islands still are with WW2. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
