    Same with chocolate. The 4 pack of Mars bars we have these days used to be called funsize back in the day. There used to be king size Mars Bars too.

    Have you tried a Mars Bar lately? They don't taste nearly as nice as they used to. Just like everything else, they've been 'improved' because we're progressing.

    That article was an opinion piece by an individual journalist which left out large chunks of the bigger picture.

    This is a response article in The Graun that is much more balanced. The pint isn’t going anywhere.

    Yeah I have just enough intelligence to realise the pint ain't going anywhere, I'm not one for going barmy over dodgy bent bananas.
    The Guardian regularly posts this sort of rubbish under the individual journalist banner. Shame as I always had the Mail as the tag that posted that sort of utter guff.

    Hard to know which thread to post in but i've been following this case since i first read about it. And in this one case it covers a lot of the problems in society and how government has made it impossible for police officers to do their job, that their superiors will stab you in the back to further their own careers. Its a depressing read, where decorated police officers put their lives on the line to do the right thing, yet the very people we want eradicating from the general public are afforded more rights than the officers sent to deal with them.

    Just to add context, this is the knife the youth the officer arrested was carrying. Now ask yourself how exactly these scumbags have any rights at all and in what world does the officer become the villain this scenario?

    Did anyone see the horrendous woke Jaguar campaign a few montha ago? It was a box ticking exercise compromising of men in leotards and skirts.

    Sales down 97.5% April 24 vs April 25. What on earth were they thinking? Sack the marketing department. A disaster!

    I might be wrong but I thought I read that they had stopped manufacturing new cars and the only ones available for sale were dealers stock, so that might be the reason. Agree about the ad though, it was embarrassing.

    Mardell the CEO is 'stepping down' in December. Horrific rebrand, horrific marketing campaign and heavily critisised shift to electric vehicles has seen to that.
