New in the M&S Foodhall – the chocolate bar blasts from the past.

@CharlesChurchUK Charles Church were well known for their large executive homes and should concentrate on them. I really liked their traditional mock Tudor, Georgian, Edwardian and stone frontages.

We opened our first food Distribution Centre (DC) in the 1930s, and by the 1980s we had a fleet of 360 lorries delivering food to our stores across the country.

This year we began working in our new state‑of‑the‑art automated DC in Northamptonshire.

@TheGrocer suggests that @LidlGB could catch up with @AldiUK. On a food and drinks sales only basis, that means Lidl would actually become bigger than Asda, as Aldi’s already No 3 on that measure! As a result, Asda would also be relegated from the Big 4 and go down to No 5!

Post 1989, rent control superseded by new market-based tenancies.

Keir Starmer and Zack Polanski are helping themselves to Easter eggs in Waitrose when shop worker Kemi Badenoch bundles in to stop them, only for manager Ed Davey to sack her and side with the shoplifters.

Modern Britain is a baffling place.
