    therevelator - there lies the problem with borders, loads of stock that no one is buying but starbucks always busy as people go in for a coffee and read the books and magazines. If those people stopped reading and started buying borders may have still been around.

  • Cheers for the responses. I was hoping someone might have some inside information on some new company starting up in a similar vein or some such. Nevermind, I guess I'll have to look elsewhere - cheers for the Selfridges tip. Still, I can't believe this won't be seen as an opportunity for someone...
    Treat everyday as your last one on earth! and one day you will be right.
