Praise: TESCO
Thankyou TESCO for changing your (non diet) carbonated drinks back to using real sugar instead of aspartame. I had to give up Tango, Lilt and then supermarket own brands. Now I can at least drink Tesco's own label and enjoy a fizzy drink every now and then :) I don't often say thanks to Tesco as they are going down hill in…

I just wanted to chip in with a bit of advice/a rant... You may have seen tv adverts lately for a product called "colour b4" which is made by a chap called Scott Cornwall.

New York Bagels - pack size reduced
My OH loves the cinnamon and raisin NY Bagels, and I'm a bit partial to them myself. Noticed for a while that often the shop shelves were empty and just thought they had become more popular. Then I noticed that the stock levels seem a lot beter...BUT the pack size has reduced from 5 bagels to 4 - at the same price :mad: So…

Info accessed includes name, e-mail address, gender and DOB. No address, password or bank…

Charity Appeals 3rd World Children
(puts on fireproof clothing ready to be shot down in flames) After watching last nights BBC Rich, Famous and living in a slum comic relief programme, again it made me question when is this issue ever going to end.

There can be 20 odd…

Managers on Heston's Mission Impossible
Now, this isn't so much a vent as an observation, but I thought I'd put this here... I watched (a recorded) Heston's Mission Impossible last night, where he went to cineworld.
