    I will vote for all manufacturing companies and exporters because we need them to fix the currency and trade imbalance

    Agree with you totally.

    We need to reverse the decline of UK PLc'S industries. Having endless miles of bland shopping malls giving the public "an experience" isn't creating real wealth, which is all we seem to have left following the demise of the financial services sector.

    Royal mail
    BT
    Barclays
    Boots
    Agree about Royal Mail and BT as these are companies vital to the running of the country. God knows what sort of chaos we might end up with if Americans, Europeans, Middle Eastern sovereign funds or assorted Asian companies took them over. It's bad enough with the power companies.

    Would like to see M & S survive for national morale purposes. The big electrical stores like Currys and Comet are useful too.

    Absolutely every single second hand record shop (selling real music) up and down this land.

    Royal Mail.

    Boots.

    Mothercare.

    Lots of lovely little independent cafes/restarants/hotels. Don't go! My life is definitely better for choice of large numbers of lovely places to go out, not there really (or far less) when I was younger. But do get cheaper!

    Debenhams
    Argos
    Sainsbury
