Facial recognition coming in supermarkets?
Excoriator
27th Mar 2024 10:52am
We often use the machines to check out in the supermarket, and notice that they now have TV cameras showing your face on them.
I wonder if this will be eventually used for identifying you with a link to your bank account saving even more hassle and fumbling to pay for your groceries?
Another possibility is to automatically determine whether you are old enough to buy alcohol or other products. At 81 I'd have thought it obvious in my case, but I still get asked asked occasionally if I'm old enough to buy alcohol. Usually, I reply its for my grandfather who is playing rugby at the moment.
I like the idea of being recognised for payment and plan to wear an Elon Musk mask.

D.I.Y. / Building Shop
mharford91
3rd Mar 2024 8:53pm
Hello from Canada!
I'm trying to do some research on my family, who I believe used to own a shop in Bebington. It was a D.I.Y. / timber supplier and possibly builder. From researching old phone books, I believe it was located at 2A Bromborough road. It's listed in the phone book as "Harford W.E. & Co, Bldrs Mrcnts" and later, "Harford W.E. & Co, D.I.Y."
Does anyone remember this shop, or even better, have any photos of it?
Edit: I should add, I'm not sure when it first opened, but the phone book entrys I looked at are from the 1970's and 1980's.

Peter0787
20th Feb 2024 4:07pm
Hi all,
Looking for a breakers yard that has the full wiper mechanism for a Citroen Nemo Van 2009?
Been on to Green Lane and the one on Borough road but no joy.
Any other places that I can try or does anyone have one?
Thanks

Milkman passed on my bank account details
bobi1
26th Jan 2024 2:33pm
My milkman sent an A4 printed note with my milk on 16th Jan saying he was retiring but was handing on the route (throughout the Wirral) to another company. It was obvious from the logo on the milk that arrived with the note that the new company had already started delivering my milk. I was not consulted in advance and would not have gone with the new company given the choice. Having texted the old milkman and getting no reply I tried phoning, no answer so I texted again, still no reply to date. Had to stop the deliveries from the new company (22nd Jan) who said I didn't have to pay for the milk they had delivered, I assumed that was the end of it until I noticed a direct debit had been set up for the new company! I have cancelled it but will be in contact with Trading Standards when their online form is available (currently down till this evening). Has anyone had similar issues? I'd just like to warn anyone who's milkman has said he has retired that your contact info may well have been passed on without your knowledge.

Novel about Wallasey in the 1970s and 1980s – help needed
Cip0lla93
20th Jan 2024 11:03am
Hi there,
I am writing a novel set in Wallasey in the mid-1970s to the mid-1980s. It’s a coming-of-age story about a young woman grappling with the aftermath of her older brother’s schizophrenic breakdown.
I was initially inspired by some of Tom Wood’s photos, which led to me to researching photography in the Wirral during that period more widely. My main character is an aspiring photographer – a young woman attending Wallasey College of Art. If anyone has experiences of studying there, I would love to hear your memories, so that I can build an accurate portrayal. Likewise, if anyone has experiences that they are willing to share related to the treatment of mental illness/schizophrenia during that time, I would be grateful for your input. I have been reading about the transition from long-term hospital admission toward ‘care in the community’, and have accounts from my extended family, but I am struggling to find material related specifically to Merseyside. More generally, any anecdotes or info relating to this time would be hugely appreciated. My family and I are from the Wirral, so I have lots of stories from them as context, but I was born in 1993, so did not experience this period myself!
Thanks so much.
