Re: The Tesco & other non-Morrisons supermarket thread

Isn't that the store on the site of the old Food Giant? I see it frequently going past it on the train.

Re: Old supermarket signage

This video posted by the BBC Archive today about the early days of the supermarket value products gives us a look at some early 80s supermarkets. Mostly Tesco and the long gone Fine Fare and International.

Re: Old supermarket signage

Not a supermarket as such, but I just spotted this picture on a news article:

Re: Old supermarket signage



The blue and white aisle singage in the 1995 video is ALMOST right, but it was one long continuous strip the whole width of the store rather than broken into sections as it is here.

The 1999 section also has the old logo on the carrier bags. That logo did hang around on carrier bags for a ...

Re: Digital Spy Watch News and Information Board

If by "harrassment" you mean stalking and doxxing, then yes, there was plenty of that going on. Nothing to do with the Labour antisemitism scandal, it started well before then. It's incredibly disturbing to find a bunch of people had a forum where they were following DSers around the internet ...
