Kully house of fraser was ailing for years. The most astute thing anybody could have done was not to buy the shares from Sir Tom Hunter, former retail guru. Having bought the shares then the best thing to have done was not to compound the error and just take the loss on the chin when they went under. The few customers HoF had left were cheesed off with the website being down for months, orders sitting in limbo and then cancelled and just generally gift card holders being mistreated. Add to that suppliers and the likes of intu telling Mike to get on his bike, Mike employing young green relatives in lofty positions and you have a recipe for disaster that could wipe out spd. I take exception to somebody trying to reignite old religious divisions in my home city as well and it makes no commercial sense either just to get back at Rangers. Just as an aside, I was talking to a chiropodist yesterday. Wealthy lady and husband with his own business, stay at Gleneagles from time to time. Just the sort of people who used to shop at HoF. She was trying to get an expensive after shave gift and gave up as the counter was not staffed. Yes can happen in other shops too. I fit the profile of that shopper and will be sticking to debs. I like quality goods but I am not prepared to pay over the odds for it.
