    I had a new pair of running shoes delivered yesterday after getting 50% off online. Though now the gyms are closed there are likely too many out and about exercising so it requires awareness to dodge others to keep distance. I was running down the road this morning to keep away from others, now the roads are so quiet.
    Ah, but SD relies heavily on impulse buying once you are in the shop.

    Considered online purchasing of only stuff we need is not in his business plan.

      Luckily pressure from everyone moaning has made Sports Direct close.

      Pets At Home is the next target...

        This is the same trick Mr Spoons tried and pulled off. Threaten to keep stuff open until the government comes in and offers money to close.

        So blindingly obvious, yet nobody sees it.

          Actually, Pets at Home is one type of shop allowed to remain open.

          (And if Sports Direct hadn't been so greedy they could have kept Evans Cycles open too.)

            Oh no where will UberEats and Deliveroo couriers going to get their bike supplies. They are going to have to be organised and find somewhere cheaper....
