A rare event for the high street as Sky invests in bricks & mortar stores to showcase its products and provide a 'social hub'.

The media and entertainment firm said the shops would offer its pay TV, mobile and broadband products under one roof but also prove a"departure" from traditional stores.

Sky said they would place the customer experience at their heart, including interactive experiences, and be a new social hub for shoppers.In addition to its own advisers, the company said a tie-up with technology repair chain iSmash would offer professional repair and support services for smart devices.

An expansion to bricks and mortar stores is rare for the high street landscape as participants have been prioritising investment in online services for many years - a move exacerbated by more recent disruption to trading from coronavirus restrictions.

Sky History channel pulls series over '88' face tattooSocial media users pointed out that '88' can be a white supremacist code for 'Heil Hitler' I take exception to 'White Supremacy' used pejoratively. Just try living under black supremacy. No liberal lefty ever questioned Indian supremacy in India, Chinese supremacy in China, Mexican supremacy in Mexico. White people SHOULD be supreme in their own countries,. I don't know about Britain, but in the US, prison gangs are extremely racialized and these kind of tattoos are associated with white prison gangs who embrace neo-n*zism. Tattoos are a kind of gang identifier which is why its pretty trashy for a non-felon to have a face tattoo. What about the 23 and 16 on his face that is code for white power and the question mark on his nose? Maybe that 'can be' too. Sloppy journalism.
