    Just before a housing crash, Carpetright usually announce record losses

    Carpetright's Harris says trading is worst ever - Business News, Business - The Independent
    Carpetright's chief executive, the veteran Lord Harris of Peckham, said yesterday that trading conditions were the worst he had seen in more than 50 years in business.


    Lord Harris said he was preparing for two more years of tough times as Carpetright cancelled its final dividend. "It's very tough out there," he said. "It's the toughest I've known since I've been in the business."

    I think this tells us a lot about the state of the property market.

    No it does not say anything about the property market.

    It says all about the savy consumer who has seen through CarpetWrong's marketing tactics.

    70% OFF + a further 10% OFF + a further 25% off today only etc etc , it had to fail one day.

      How can anyone be the "Lord" of Peckham without being involved in Protection Rackets/Prostitution etc.?

        Carpets are home to a million germs and infections.

        Sand the floors, paint the walls white, next thing you know location location location will be knocking on the door.

                Will doing that mean you don't have to take your shoes off at the door?

                    Simple solution: make some shoes out of carpet.
