Totally different reasons to Jessops, but I have fond memories of buying stuff from Play which has now gone AWOL as a supplier.

I wonder if the marketplace thing will work out, or if everyone will just go to Amazon.

Good luck to all the Crapauds needing jobs though - it's the same over the water up North!

RE: ...

Saw this one coming...isn't it to do with the recent changes in the tax regulations for offshore (Jersey & Guernsey) traders? If so, I bet Tesco Direct are having to weigh-up their marketing/pricing strategies as well, unless as such a big company they feel they can take the hit.
