Cheers just bought a couple of items!
spotted this in manchester 'tother week and bought some reduced walking boots, reduced from 100 quid to 29.99 bargain. Good proper hillwalking boots from karrimor.
I get some waterproof peter storm boots for walking the dog. Been pretty good for £11.99 🙂
Something is going seriously wrong with Blacks/Millets. I really hope it's just because of the exceptionally mild weather as we are told, not a last ditched effort to save the whole company.
Millets/ Blacks group will be the next victims of the recession 🙁
Get in there, vultures! 😆
Severe cash flow problems - they need to convert stock to cash to pay wages & rent else they'll fold...
they almost went last year, shut a load of shops etc. I don't see blacks getting through the coming year, see what happens when the january rent becomes due.
Mike Ashley making a mess of things agin perhaps?
ANyway, popped into Worcester Millets this afternoon for a nose around.
Got a few christmas presents. Theres not a lot of technical stuff in there - berghaus being the only reputable brand and unfortunately Im OK for rain jackets etc so nothing for me. They do have Bridgedale socks though, which are rarely discounted so a chance to reload the sock drawer.
OS maps are in the discount as well so that's handy.
Also Powermonkey stuff which again is hard to find heavily dsicounted most of the time. couple of nice casio watches, but I dont wear a watch.
Anyone after any coleman stuff might find a bargin, but again, Im all sorted with MSR stuff.
I notice they stock a few camelbacks if anyone is interested in them
Notice that all the The North Face stuff has disappeared from the site. Still listed as a brand, but no stock showing...
Yeah I noticed that, was after a cheap Gordon Lyons or Zermatt top, but they got nadda.
Millets owner Blacks up for sale
Bit weird Mike Ashley being a part owner - he also owns their biggest rival Field & Trek - which he has merged into his Chav-Emporium business.
I don't think Mike Ashley's share ownership is weired at all. It's protecting his existing business. He owns (and has trashed the reputation of) Karrimor so wants a toe hold with one of their major stockists. I hate what his organization has done to Karrimor and Field and Trek and he has turned the once great Lillywhites at Picadilly Circus into one of the most vial sports shops/chav emporiums ever, but I suspect he will be the first customer in the New Year sales picking over what is left of Blacks.

This is true and makes me sad. It used to be a real treat to go to Lillywhites. If you wanted something special it was where you'd head to, now it's somewhere you avoid.
Thanks for the heads up 🙂 Anyone know if the [url= http://www.millets.co.uk/clothing/mens-clothing/baselayers/product/070285/thermal-stripe-t-shirt.html?attribute=164213 ]Peter Storm long sleeve base layers[/url] are any good? I need something warm for winter.
Big thanks for the heads up.
OH cleared out the local one of 250 and 500 gas cylinders. Result!

Worth keeping an eye on Blacks - at least 2 of thier shops lately have been doing the same with 30% off everything.
