To be fair, British Home Stores does already sound like a nationalised industry.

The oddest part of this story is that it's still with us. Surely no one has entered a BHS since 1973?

I'm more surprised it's kept going this long

I agree. I honestly couldn't tell you where my nearest one is. The last time I remember going to one was sometime in the 80s when they sold the sort of brightly-coloured, chunky knitwear belted cardigan efforts that were briefly and inexplicably popular at the time.

Or was that C&A? :rubchin:

When walking down Oxford Street, it is quite a useful as a short cut to go in there and avoid the mob on the main stretch

They're too big to fail, b.

Personally, I'm sick of all these fat cat retail workers rubbing their 15% off bedding coupons in my face.

:nod: In 1973 it used to be the first shop we went in climbing the stairs from the car park in Gravesend.
