I don't believe for a second that there won't be store closures and job losses. They must think we are all stupid if they think saying that is going to get them off the hook with the unions and through the CMA approval process. There will need to be firm guarantees in place because I can bet that after a year and everything has settled down it will be "due to challenging times in the retail sector we have had to take the unforeseen and regrettable decision to close 40% of our stores. This will help realign the business and ensure we continue even better prices to our customers bla bla bla..."
The first stores to close will be Argos once outlets have been moved into Asda and Sainsbury's.
