I believe so, but the smaller ones will suffer. Sales, believe or not, are picking up. The problem with places like OS is that they offer very low fees, so they take lots of stock, but cannot maintain the level of interest with the resources and staff.

Don't estate agents provide a service and employment as well? Frankly I have never used a bookies, and hopefully by the time we are out of this recession there might be a viable alternative to Estate Agents, but both are preferable to empty shops.

Exactly. And every empty shop means people losing their jobs, and in this climate it would be naive to suggest they will all walk into another one, and then how many of them have kids who will go short as a result, possibly lose their home.


I'm sure there are plenty of shops on Lordship Lane I won't end up spending my money in but I don't wish the people out of business.

Agreed on all counts... have I ever said otherwise?


I just happen to have a dislike of Osbourne Stewart as a company, that doesn't mean I take any satisfaction from seeing individuals out of work.

I think A2 to A3 should be fairly easy. As for size look at the late lamented Drum and Inside 72
