re phillip green.
M and S still have 7% of the clothing market,BHS have 1-2%.
Have you been in BHs recently for mens clothes,they are AWFUL whereas m+s aint too bad.

Funny, our place showed year on year growth for last week, perhaps we're freefalling in the wrong direction?

your store must be near a lot of unfashionable ladies

M & S who goes there, only old people and those ***S go there, i even feel old when i walk past it on oxford street in london....

Old news, general public haven't been spending in most sectors for quite some time. Every independent trader has felt the pinch and is an eternal struggle to stay afloat.

Not at Sports-soccer,that place is always heaving whenever i go in.
Not surprising though when you can buy a leather football for £2.

its not that old Ali,there is struggling and there is serious struggling,the last 6 weeks have been disastrous

NotoriousREV

Au contrair, our market is pikeys and chavs. You can't go wrong catering for the lowest common denominator

I must be sad then because I like S & M clothing.
