    Or fit the floor properly, with proper underlay, so that it complies with the current legislation on noise.

    Will doing that mean you don't have to take your shoes off at the door?

    No it does not say anything about the property market.

    It says all about the savy consumer who has seen through CarpetWrong's marketing tactics.

    70% OFF + a further 10% OFF + a further 25% off today only etc etc , it had to fail one day.

  • Just before a housing crash, Carpetright usually announce record losses

    Carpetright's Harris says trading is worst ever - Business News, Business - The Independent
    Carpetright's chief executive, the veteran Lord Harris of Peckham, said yesterday that trading conditions were the worst he had seen in more than 50 years in business.


    Lord Harris said he was preparing for two more years of tough times as Carpetright cancelled its final dividend. "It's very tough out there," he said. "It's the toughest I've known since I've been in the business."

    I think this tells us a lot about the state of the property market.
