Not surprised at Jessops. WHSmith are much better than any supermarket for the range of stuff they do. Supermarkets just cherrypick some of the top titles, but for anything else they suck. Same as their music range.

I'm hoping M&S.
Firstly because they never, ever have what you want.
Secondly because despite being 'the underwear people', they sell boxers for people with 40 inch waists and 2 inch cocks or 20 inch waists and 18 inch cocks (the latter clearly not being real people), so my boxers from there always feel a bit weird.
Thirdly because they encourage people with awareness issues to shop there. Nowhere else can you find such a large selection of people who will waddle along and then sudfdenly stop, right at the key point in a thoroughfare and just stand there like they're dead with a rod up their arse.
And finally because Noemie would be out of work and would have to restort to turning tricks behind ASDA for 5 quid a shot and I've got a couple of grand in my back pocket.

Oh, and one point for them staying open is if you're looking for a bit of lunchtime shopping accompanied by a little bit of harmless flirting with MILF's, then M&S rocks hugely.

Jessops still exists. All the good stuff, shops, stock etc. has been handed on to a new incarnation jointly owned by HSBC, a group of pension funds and an employees trust, leaving the old holding company, Jessops plc, with the debts and not much else. HSBC is providing a large loan in return for its share in the new company and the shareholders in the old company can either vote for this and get two grains of rice and a penny arrow bar for their trouble or vote against it and get left with all the debt and no assets.
I own several hundred shares which cost me the grand total of 40ukp. On balance, I was right in thinking that the company was likely to be worth more than that and would in due course make a recovery, clearly the pension funds and HSBC etc. think the same, it's just that the none pension fund shareholders seem to have been classified as not wanted on voyage. Ah well, nothing ventured......

is the answer Shimano due to their new range being blurted all over the interweb too soon ?

Thorntons have had difficult trading recently IIRC.
Would like to see the demise of DFS, Heli-beds and many of the other home furnishing companies, if for nothing more than to never have to see or hear their sh*t adverts ever again!

Johnsons the Dry Cleaners were having a hard time of it! At one stage I thought they would goners but they seem to be clinging on.
