No you might call me a bit of a sceptic but with the government now paying 80% of workers wages laid off due to the virus...john lewis will still trade online.

Do you think the loss making high st will...maybe make use of the 80% rule and this will be the final nail in the coffin for our high street department stores?

You're right, it is going to shutter a number of high street stores, particularly those with high debts and rents. I would foresee Greggs and Costa having a lean year. M&S will try focusing on their food sales. Nobody will need new outfits in a plague year. Debenhams is likely to go the way of Thomas Cook or try to focus on Internet sales. I don't think WH Smiths are going to have a good year either.

You do know that John Lewis is a staff owned partnership and that this is a temporary closure? Staff are being reallocated to Waitrose and still being paid.

Yes I knew they are partners,but no I did not know they were being moved to waitrose. And if that is the case I'll swallow my words
