Paying 90million pounds,

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.

Oop brexit

Oop online shopping.

Confirmation of my scoop that Mike Ashley's Sports Direct International
has bought House of Fraser; statement says it has paid £90m for
all of HoF's stores and stock, but no disclosure of likely restructuring plans.
