    ...and back to Adams. Went in there (Harrow branch) yesterday and was very surprised to see many items being sold at full price and, in my opinion, a little pricey (£18 for a baby outfit which might last a month or two tops?).

    Staff seemed sure they'd find a buyer but having been 'credit crunched' myself, I can't see how without upping their footfall with lower prices they can expect to survive in this environment.

    Yes, nice stuff. Pricey though!

    I agree, can be expensive full price, it's one of the shops that in the past has always had a 'sale' (usually nothing that you would want to buy).BUT v glad my local is remaining open, for the time being.

    My local one usually seemed to have a "buy one get one half price" offer running but even then the clothing seemed expensive, and not particularly exciting (for boys anyway) imo when you can go into somewhere like H&M and get really trendy stuff for less!

    Yep - Focus hasn't gone into Admin...They just restructured about 1 yr ago (but I would agree that they're on the "next" list...)

    Pier and Morgan de Toi need to be added.
    I asked in my local Focus yesterday and they said they've been bought out by an American company. So I guess all is saved for them at least.

    Obsessing about remortgaging and interest rates all day, every day:)
