    DFS and the rest of the sofa companies can't be that far behind.

    Sick of seeing all these sofa ads.
    I hate migraines.

    Didn't they used to be World of Leather. Feel sorry for the staff involved, but their sofas were cheap and disgusting quality.

    that would be pointless as the reason LOL went bust was people were'nt buying sofas as the housing market was down

    LOL becomes UOL (Universe of Leather) or GOL (Galaxy of Leather)?

    Surely the latter first?
