There are two different UK arms of WHSmith, WHSmith High Street and WHSmith Travel (and a further division within Travel for stores in Moto service stations). Bail is right. Travel would remain if High Street died as it does quite well.

Not to mention of course that WHSmith recently teamed up with ...

One of the big differences between WHSmith and Woolies is that Smith's doesn't have any debts, whereas Woolies were in the red by millions. While it's not that apparent to the regular customer, Smith's business models has been altered significantly and costs have been cut literally wherever possible ...

In Bedford, we were trialing a new computerised counting system. Obviously, it broke, so we're only just hearing who won the council election. It's NOC as always but I as yet have no idea who won in my ward and have no idea who won in the mayoral election. Useless.

I really wish the Lib Dems would reinstate Kennedy. So what if he had a drink problem! The OAP currently at the top is completely useless. Knowing Kennedy had a drink problem made him human.

I bought a MacBook last year. It ran OK for two days before it broke. There have been a series of problems with the MacBooks although that was last year and I haven't heard of any reported problems recently so I imagine they've now been ironed out. Don't get me wrong, Macs are awesome. I'm typing ...
