rubschin: good one, they only survive now cos of the money they make at airports

I'll go

Next
Poundland
House of Fraser

Poundland makes too much money from student towns to fail..  noooo:
But it has that problem with NMW hikes, import prices rising due to the £ and no ability to raise it's prices.  Somehow 'One-Pound-Ten-Land' isn't such a must visit brand name
Well, whatever, nevermind

rubschin:  We could play Business Death Bingo.  Name 3 well known business names we expect to go into administration or worse in 2018.  First one to get a full set wins a virtual golden coconut

Haven't we done that before .......... rubschin:

It's better than I ever even knew.  They say that the world was built for two.  Only worth living if somebody is loving you.  Baby now you do.
