Never heard of it either, tho I had never heard of Whittards either. Must be something to do with coming from Lincolnshire, we shun outsiders
Clearly I wont miss them, but again it is not good for the people who work for them. Having said that I heard Whittards have been bought out by a private equity doo da.0 -
This was the place which had the permanent 70% off sale, right? If so then good riddance to bad rubbish.0

I disagree, best part of my childhood holidays was spent in Lincolnshire and the people were very friendly.0 -

No one I know has ever brought stuff from the Officers Club and I work mainly with guys.
Whittards = expensive and was only good for getting random gifts for people when they had a sale on every 3 years or so.I'm not cynical I'm realistic

I've seen it in the high street but never went in. It had all the street cred of Burtons.
