Land of Leather and the credit-crunch

[NickFitz]

I hear finance companies are refusing to fund purchases of Land of Leather products.

Where do you hear this? The FT doesn't appear to have heard about it. Bloomberg have nothing to say on the matter other than a vague comment from the Bank of England that "The country's banks plan to cut consumer lending in the current quarter," which is just a bit of background, not a comment about LoL specifically.

Sounds like idle prattle to me. Did you also hear that the Duke of Edinburgh is behind it all?

Shock horror. People may now be forced to save and stop living no credit.

RIP Living beyond your means. We'll miss you.

Is there a link for this or just hearsay?

Hmm, does that mean all the chavs will be running around naked because Littlewoods will no longer give them 52-week payment terms on a £10 t-shirt.

I hear finance companies are refusing to fund purchases of Land of Leather products. Where is it all going to end?
