There are apparently numerous household names for whom suppliers can’t get credit insurance. A tell tale sign of impending doom is when they stop selling lottery tickets.
consumer spending is recovering, cost inflation is now negligible and interest rates will shortly be returning to ZIRP levels
so we’ll probably see some lagging indicator insolvencies (not including Argos FFS - Argos is what people with any sense use to buy bargain electricals, rather than amazon) but the worst of this economic cycle is over
Be very sad to see John Lewis go but difficult to see the model survive - it’s already gone to a large extent - but a great loss to the less price sensitive shopper who’d like a bit of product knowledge and service.

Argos is part of Sainsbury's now (along with Habitat) and lots of their shops have been moved into Sainsbury's so I can't see them binning that off.
John Lewis must be pretty close to the death zone. Without Waitrose I think they'd be gone already.

its often the companies that go but the good historic brands live on under different ownership. Unless there's been some godalmighty f*** up.

I recall that too Bullace. May reflect their footprints in airports and shared use of their space with other retailers.

Are Paperchase still around? They always had the feel of a place that didn't know what it sold.

Welcome to last week's OP clubman.
Do you agree with a lot of the commentary that it was the PE acquisition that utterly fuçked this brand?

Was it not the CEO being a perv? Where can I buy that sex abuser's clothes? Oh, it's right next to the Gary Glitter toy shop.

UK-based sustainable or biofuels fuels makers
Small UK EV makers or related industries
UK Cannabinoid producers
Electric or hybrid UK aircraft makers
Battery makers or chip-makers (unless sold to China) for EV and IT market
...because this Tory Govt won't invest in them, unlike the USA...(except for Mullen)
e.g.
Velocys
Saietta
British Volt
AMTE
Btw, that could also be due to p*ss poor management also, but govt investment could have drawn better-qualified people.
There's no space for small and med cap disruptive tech plcs on the UK.
They should relocate to USA, France, Germany or Switzerland. Do an IPO on NASDAQ.
The UK is still one of the best, though, for defence industry.
