The title of the thread may be a give-away - Next to disappear!0

I don't think it'll be Next, they're going great guns. The City love them at the moment, shares have gone through the roof.0

Trouble is it's a bit of a self fulfilling prophecy isn't it? Speculation like this or that surrounding Thompsons holidays(?) last year just adds to the companies problems even if they are actually in no real danger of going under.
Whatever people do make sure that you pay for expensive items using a credit card, even if it's only the deposit, then you have at least the security of getting it back from Barclaycard or whoever*.
Remember it's the cash price of the good that needs to be over £100 not what you put on the card.
*incidentally the banks absolutely loath S.75 of the CC Act and have been lobbying successive governments for decades about getting rid of it so will be interesting to see if they have another go in the light of the Comets, Jessops, etc.0 -

If it stuck to it's stationary/papers business, it would do okay - but it's just a sweet shop nowadays. Tried to buy some envelopes in one recently only to be told that they don't stock them. But they have shelves and shelves full of chocolate and biscuits!BansteadAddick said:WHSmith-rubbish shop. Used to be so good but now it seems to be living on borrowed time.
I stole the enveloples from the office in the end :-)0 -
Glad to hear it. I was only trying to be amusing and don't want anyone out of work or bankrupt etc.PassItToLeaburn said:I don't think it'll be Next, they're going great guns. The City love them at the moment, shares have gone through the roof.

Robert Dyas. I often wonder how they've survived. There used to be one near Leadenhall Market (not sure if it's still there), but always had more browsers than payers during the lunch hour. Still full of stuff you only buy now and then, but seem to be going strong.

Thought of a new Moniker yet? 0 -
The one in the City does a roaring trade and is still going strong because there aren't many stores of its type in that specific area. An area which has 1000's of workers in its catchment area. We use it in our office for emergencies.

I'm doing OK. I've got a nice line in blue six fingered gloves if you know any Millwall fans.JWADDICK said:

I think Superdrug will be fine. Again another place you need to visit really to pick up bits and pieces.

No doubt all the blockbusters and HMVs will be converted into more bloody Starbucks shops. I hate all those coffee shops that have taken over the country.0

Will soon just be Supermarkets, Coffee shops & Nandos0

Oh yeah forgot about that overpriced chicken with a bit of hot sauce on.0

Wilkinson is the 'new' Woolworth .. how long will it last ? ... most any chain relying on book, music and DVD sales is in danger. The Co-op will have a lingering death and ... wait for it ..... Morrisons and M&S will need to downsize to survive against the likes of Asda, Aldi and Tesco, 3 HUGE companies with fingers in every conceivable pie
EDIT: Add to my list Wickes, Curries, Bhs, most sportswear & fmcd shops and stores selling white goods (fridges etc) or CD players, TVs and such .. that is just about the entire high street except for large chain stores selling cheap clothing ..0
