    Lot's more, lets see, Streaming killed Xtra Vision. email killed an Post but online shopping kinda saved them. Tetrapak killed glass bottles. Mobiles killed phone boxes. Cars killed Blacksmiths, By passes killed local town traders.Coal Fires etc. Called progress I suppose but tech is killing factory jobs with robots etc. This is not a gripe just an observation ?:confused:

    Xtra Vision was always ****e. If you had a local video rental place you'd go there over xtra Vision. Bypasses have allowed local women to get fit by going for walks/runs along the bypass.

    There's a battle going on between sweetener and sugar at the moment, but you'll still see a larger chunk taken out of the original coca cola display than the sweetener version...

    There's a sweetener for you op

    I worked in an Xtra vision, right around the time DVDs were coming in. something like 2 shelves of the whole shop were DVDs, gladiator was the first big one from what I remember. Video made up the rest and was what most people would rent . I got 5 videos per week for free and loved it, watched so many classics! It's mad how fast things have changed when you think about it.
