If you work for John Lewis I’d start looking for a new job

Once you're in trouble.... It would take a brave person to put their money in a sinking ship Shops like John Lewis have had their day...Unless serious transformation takes place The problem with a lot of these major chains is that they seldom own the properties. MADNESS

The problem is simple as this example shows. If I can buy a Le Creuset saucepan from Amazon for £40 cheaper that JL, then no prizes for working out where I’ll place my cash. The problem comes with furniture and JL is very conservative in that department.
