Ah yes, the collapse of what's left of the British high street will be a boon to all. |  |

The words i most dread hearing from Mrs Pinewood on the rare Saturdays we actually spend together are "Lets go to Next & John Lewis". Usually end up with some crap we,ve not needed for the last 50 odd years.
Could well end up heading the same way as House of Fraser. |  |
| We have no village green, or a shop.
It's very, very quiet.
I can walk to the pub. |

It's a reference to cause not affect (although the property angle would be welcome). The Emperor has no clothes ! |  |

Amazon is just cleaning up the market as it spotted an opportunity to change habits and make money from it. You can sit on the sofa at 9:30pm and order something, it will then arrive the next morning via Amazon Prime. Any retailer with the huge costs of operating decent real estate will never be able to compete. [Post edited 13 Sep 2018 12:23]

John Lewis will be bankrupt in a few years if they don’t wake up. They don’t price match, so they need to ditch this nonsense straight away before it becomes ‘never knowingly gone into administration’... |  | | |

Surely the middle class should be celebrated? It confuses me to see a desire to make everyone equally poor, shouldn't everyone be equally middle? |  |

Yes, I thought that was pretty much the point of socialism. Heck, maybe I was wrong. |  |

Good morning Sir Pinewood......I have just been admiring my African violets grown from leaf cuttings, what an amazing process that is and just imagine how much they would have cost me in Waitrose! (I trust you had a scrit free night!) | |

You are confusing my desires with the need to fill some gaping holes in the balances of global investment banks! It's like that banking crisis never really happened in the perceptions of some on here or did you think it would only affect the feckless, benefit scrounging, poor!
Edit.....and don't worry too much about the property values as the powers that be will do all they can to keep those inflated as it's all that is keeping the sh1t show on the road. [Post edited 13 Sep 2018 8:15]

My goodness, it,s been years since i did leaf cuttings. Probably retail at around a tenner for a smallish one i would imagine, vastly overpriced, which is partly why J L are in the sh#t.
I did indeed have a scrit free night.
Off to tend some lovely perennial borders & harvest some vegetables. | |

I did some with a school gardening club.....they and their mothers were amazed that it was possible! The real joys of life! | |

but why is john lewis only making a small profit evidence of that? if the middle class is splurging out on credit cards (as in your link) why isn't john lewis making huge profits? muddled story here I feel. | |

Because the debt is being used to cover more pressing priorities than treats from John Lewes. There is plenty more evidence, it is just a matter of whether you want to see it or not.
Edit.... Tractor production in the Urals is fine though so I am pretty sure there is nothing to worry about! Smoke and mirrors! [Post edited 13 Sep 2018 9:04]

Re the link I imagine you would need per capita, inflation adjusted figures and weighting for which income groups are spending what!
Do you have any evidence of an expanding middle class in developed economies? [Post edited 13 Sep 2018 9:14]
