They should have dropped the word 'British' out of the name so people wouldn't have assumed it was full of crap. No one wants to shop at a racist establishment anyway.'CUK forum personality of 2011 - Winner - Yes really!!!!Comment

BHS collapse threatens 11k jobs as Sir Philip Green's accused of pocketing £425m | Daily Mail Online
Dominic Chappell - He bought BHS for a £1 - took out £25m in 12 months and can now walk away whilst it goes into admin.
Sir PG sells to someone with no retail experience and a terrible financial/business background for a £1.
A conspiracy theory would be Sir PG didn't want it to fail under his name especially with the under invested pension deficit and his massive ego. So offloaded it to this guy who milked it and has a tarnished image anyway. And they can all walk away.
Under investment of the pension whilst lining your own pockets in a tax haven and selling the business to someone so inadequate. Not what you expect from a Sir......Comment

Don't forget that Austin Reed are also going tits up with the loss of around 1000 jobs....“Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.”Comment
