As an very recent EX employee of Comet this doesn't surprise me, but couple this with Best-buy backing out of the market and it makes you wonder what went wrong with electronic retailers. Is it that they are just too expensive to run and a retailer, or is it that we just don't buy TV's the way we used to?

Just wondered what peoples thoughts where to this?

I wish they had come to me first. I would have doubled that.

You wish you could have bought them for ?2 so you could be landed with several hundred million pounds worth of debt?

Sounds like a good idea to me....

[Dogg Thang]

No, I said I would have doubled it. ?4.

[Daragon]

Ah yes, so you did!
