    What an utter shame BHS couldn't be saved from liquidation.

    Not only are the stores' 11,000 workers now facing finding employment elsewhere it has a wider impact on people who supply the company itself.
    It's not your credit score that counts, it's your credit history. Any replies are my own personal opinion and not a representation of my employer.

    I went in yesterday but only had 10% and 20% off some items, and lots of small sizes or large sizes left in clothing, came out with nothing.

    Went in there yesterday , prices have barely shifted, I can see them getting reduced pretty soon if no-one is buying at current prices, a lot was over priced in the first place
    I refer to my byline below ...
