Two pence worth...
sad to see Rover go but that may be down to market forces. Britain is losing industries by the dozen and who cares? I can name several French, German, Italian, etc car makers but no British, noe that's sad.
As for Index they may have lost money but I bet the kept
Argos on their toes - now they're gone lets see what happens.
I believe in the 'pile them high, sell them cheap' business - just ask Ryanair, Lidl etc who's making the most money.
After being a true believer in Thus (Demon internet) I putting my money where my mouth is and bought (a lot) of shares.
I now learn they are closing their Scottish call centres and switching to India. No dis-respect to anyone from India but bye, bye Thus I hope other will follow if I don't support the British workforce who will?
IMHO
