Yes Buying 99p Stores
with that complex share bit
took time.
Months Back,
Well Before Brexit


Christo needs to use his magic on
global stocks
as well as China

Hi Arista. No. They have gone down 15% since Brexit, its safe to assume thats the reason for the sale. Hope that clears things up. Wonder which chain is next?
