Another one that has not moved with the times, the majority of their customer base is most likely dead by now.

Quite, with Asos for example recently reporting sales up 27%; half-year profits up 10%; and plans to quadruple sales.

I planned to pay my mortgage off before now.

With the markups at HOF and you goons are surprised?

I've never been to HoF... not sure if I've even ever seen one.

I looked at their store locator - and I've never lived close to one, except now as there's one 8 miles away. I don't go in there as I'm rarely in that town except once a year or so.

I occasionally wandered into their flagship store on Oxford St, but never stayed long. If you want a nice department store experience, John Lewis is just nearby; if you want new fun fashion you go to TopShop. Surprised it's lasted this long.

They bought Army & Navy, Barkers of Kensington, Dickins & Jones, Rackhams, and D H Evans - and instead of any of those, they decided to go with the ghastly and bland "House of Fraser"?

Another one to watch will be SCS never seen so many sales from these people.

A rocky ride ahead for Homebase. Wesfarmers have given up on their bad purchase and sold it to a restructuring specialist for £1. It is likely the Bunnings stores will be rebranded back to Homebase with probable job losses and store closures. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-44248409

The mobile phone and electrical goods retailer also said it would close 92 of its more than 700 Carphone Warehouse stores this year.
