I'm glad they have a chance, it would be a shame to see such an iconic brand die like so many others.

It's a dead business already 15 years past its sell by date. It has been bought several times over and bears no relation to the fantastic place it used to be to shop when I was a kid. They used to have stores that rivaled harrods ... compare that to now
This purchase will be nothing more than a scam with no long term future. The jobs will be lost. The brand is dead meat. The end. Last edited by bitontheslide; 10-08-2018 at 10:18 AM. |
