    John Lewis's trading isn't great either. Some of the stores are similar to M&S. In that there's a lot of little. Pushing towards click and collect. When the storm blows over. Someone is going to reinvent the shop again.

    I can (just about) remember the time when people were fighting over HoF. Tiny Rowland and the phoney pharaoh etc. Of course, HoF included Harrods at that time.

    I think Harrods is owned by Quatar these days? HoF is owned by some Chinese company.

    The future of struggling discount retailer Poundworld is in the balance after the main contender to buy the chain pulled out of talks.

    Never associate with idiots on their own level, because, being an intelligent man, you'll try to deal with them on their level - and on their level they'll beat you every time.

    Being hated by idiots is the price you pay for not being one of them.
