Just walked past Bank branch of HoF (City of London) looking shabby and bleak, but littered with dozens of Closing Down 20% Off posters lovingly created in the Simpsons font. Hull has had the same posters up since they announced that branch's demise, though they've now been amended with the 2 cover...

Yeah. If they close a branch down in Glasgow, will those people go to the one in Edinburgh, Aberdeen, or Dundee instead? A lot of people would go to a competitor that still has a store in Glasgow instead, or just shop online. Not everyone has a car they can use to go to other branches!

The Folkestone branch has burnt down.

Bath could still close as well. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-45617809 And here's some fine journalism from the Hull Daily Mail... they called it rumours and speculation despite closing down signs on the shop windows! https://www.hulldailymail.co.uk/news/hull-east-yorkshire-news/landlord-hulls...

Why the hell have Debs just revealed a new logo when they're considering a CVA?

You do realise you could've rotated it before uploading?

First major rebranding since the 80s, surely? Apart from getting rid of the stylised D in the mid-90s anyway.

Font was different in the 80s. The old logo was introduced in 1992.

Not sure where to put this, but Primark's Belfast store has been destroyed.
