CyderInACan Posted March 27, 2015 Report Share Posted March 27, 2015 Got me thinking. Now that the Dolman Blocks have been renamed and the East end isn't/never was in the East anyway, what other brand names have been dumped in the bin of corporate bollocks? Things I can recall that are (sadly?) no longer with us are Jif = Cif Opal Fruits = Starburst Marathon = Snickers League minnows Bristol Rovers = Non League Minnows Bristol Rovers Autumn Gold = nothing I think, didn't it just disappear!? Any more? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When does O2 become 3? Everyone I know with 3 moans about coverage, presumably O2 will bring their coverage to 3, and not the other way round?

Mobile phone services are one thing - but according to many brand Jesus is still very much alive, seek and thou shalt find. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
