pheonix you are not wrong NSB will get great PR from the deal. Shops and all companys need to cut costs and by staying in the past is not the way forward. NSB product will pay for it's self over and over again.
Not too worried about Monday can not see any real news till as you say the figures are in but they seem quick off the mark with them. The shops here are packed the British public are spending but want the best deal. Times are changing cash at Christmas to spend in the sales is the way forward.
