    Apparently, staff at Blacks were texted last Thursday or Friday evening telling them all they were soon to be out of a job. Blacks is closing down.

    Went to my local one today and tons of stuff 50% and 75% off.

    Not a mention of any problems on the website, so maybe they will continue to trade online, but as for the stores, they are going.

    Maybe worth a trip to grab a xmas bargain!

    originally thanked OP for this bit of news but after 3 visits to telford store with OH and 3 teenage outdoor mad kids not so sure .....saved over £500 but spent £457 :eek: Still, no need to buy sleeping bags/footwear/base layers/mid layers or maps for a few years.
