    I happened to be in an Arndale centre yesterday and noticed menkind had what looks to be closing down notice. Whether this is just a sales gimmick or not it looks like menkind has gone bankrupt or is heading that way.

    Those with lots of in-town shops and shops in in-town arcades/malls will be the first to call it a day. Even with the 'cloud with a silver lining' comments yesterday the damage has been done.

    More than 90 stores to close – but 171 shops and 1,675 jobs are being saved in pre-pack administration by owners of rival ScS.

    I went into a branch of Dreams just over a year ago to look at headboards. Poor selection and inflated prices. The staff member I spoke to absolutely reeked of cigarettes. Needless to say I didn't make a purchase. Reminds me that I still need to buy the headboard at some point!
