BBC TV News was uncharacteristically fair in its report.

The chain apparently has only 79 shops still open and everything they
sell is available quicker and cheaper on the internet. This is a fate
befalling a lot of former specialist retailers and department stores.

The trouble with a baby market is that babies grow up and when their turn comes around to replenish the population then they look to wider horizons. Like several others Mothercare was slow to adapt away from what had previously proved to be a successful business model.

However the trouble with an unwanted paste from your clipboard?

Have you been shot?

Have you never included an unwanted paste from your clipboard in a post?

Was it because of you being an ex-teacher and not knowing the difference
between there and their?

Or 'there' and 'the'?

FWIW, it seems to me that "there" in the paragraph beginning "It's been
drifting..." was a typo for "the" rather than a misspelling of "their".

"Their" wouldn't make sense anyway.

Isn’t hindsight wonderful for clever dicks such as Troll Nugent?

"Their" wouldn't make sense anyway.

In which case it should be perfectly logical to you.

You had exactly the same evidence available to you, but chose to
interpret it in a way which made no sense but allowed you to make an
ineffective attack on the poster whose contribution contained the typo.

That's your fault, not mine.

It does. It was a typo for "the".

And such things are easily done.

Define ineffective. Your trolling attempts are an example, perhaps?

Occupation used to be a teacher. I expect higher standards from those who
worked in that profession.

Obviously, you do not.

Only if you regularly type more letters than you need.

Do you type Idea for I, perhaps?
