The scene in Leopold Street just now. Similar posters have prompted comment on news sites elsewhere. In Barnstaple for example a news article contains the following comment: "However, a head office spokesman today said she couldn’t be certain the store was closing and said the company “remained hopeful” a buyer could be found."
As in Barnstaple, still some hope perhaps but the poster hardly gives an upbeat message.
This is what high speed internet does for one store on our High St
