usermcuserface··on Raspberry Pi Opens First High Street Store in Cambridge
The photos put them opposite Charles Clinkard, which means they're occupying a unit that's been vacant long enough for it to appear empty on the shopping centre map.

usermcuserface··on UK supermarket TV advert on palm oil banned for being too political
I went to a "meet the senior managers" public feedback event at the BBC a few years ago. The Chairman, Director General, controller of BBC 1 and a few other top level people were there to hear the views of the public.

They were repeatedly, in turn, accused of being both pro-Israel/anti-Palestine and anti-Israel/pro-Palestine by various audience members, each using their own cherry-picked examples.

If you can attract that level of criticism from both sides of the argument, I think you can lay a reasonable claim to being fairly neutral. They certainly weren't "clearly" anti-Israel to some people.

Something I've not seen an answer to in any article about this concept: I'm slightly above average height, so occasionally people somewhat below average height ask me to reach things down from high shelves in supermarkets.

What happens if I do that in an Amazon Go shop?
