I see JLP can dig out money from the back of the sofa when it suits them.

 

I mean, god forbid the Chelsea set has suffer their favourite corner shop looking a bit worn and dated...

Its quite an extraordinary message putting out to loyal customers elsewhere.

For those within the comfortable bubble of the M25 they have the choice and convenience of 8 different stores all within the Greater London boundaries but seemingly for those in the regions you can just about go and kiss their never knowingly undersold backside. 

 

You want to be worthy of using their stores...  put the effort in, travel some distance and make a special trip.  Be interesting to see how this plays out.

And now it is fabulous, i.e. imaginary. See https://www.thefreedictionary.com/fabulous which says

a. Of the nature of a fable or myth; legendary.

b. Told of or celebrated in fables or legends.

[Middle English, mythical, from Old French fabuleux, from Latin fābulōsus, from fābula, fable; see fable.]

Think I must belong to a minority group of people because I have never liked John Lewis stores.

I won't miss it but do feel for the staff who are losing their jobs.

It’s been a total shambles.

I have been trying to come up with  date that John Lewis Sheffield actually closed.

What date did it last actually serve a customer ? Was that different from its official closure date ?

Did it actually ever reopen after the Lockdown ?

[northernboy]

The last customer served in store was on 4th January 2021 before the country went into lockdown. Staff were informed of the proposed permanent closure on 24th March. After consultation the decision was finalised at the end of June.

And it turns out life goes on. You can buy stuff elsewhere.
