Oh Tim. That’s unbelievably sad. I loved the Goodies and also ISIHAC.

The Goodies were a huge part of my childhood too. Who doesn't remember the Lancashire martial art of 'Ecky-Thump'?! :lol: I'm so sad about Tim Brooke-Taylor. :sad:

This is particularly effective in holding off HMRC.
Ah, thank you.

I am v sad about Stirling Moss and TBT. :sad: TBT has appeared at our theatre several times and was such a gent.

I read that! Warehouse in particular (though I shop in Oasis quite frequently too) is my basic go to, I'll be really disappointed if they go.

:mog: Maybe I ought to shop elsewhere.

I read that interest in them is likely to be quite high.

Wow, 90% of my clothes shopping was at warehouse! That's a real shame.

Blimey! I am surprised by that, they're both very popular and I do quite a lot of shopping at Oasis.

I read a couple of years ago that Oasis hadn't made a profit in quite some time, so from that POV, accompanied by the current situation, I'm not that surprised.
