Fergus is worth a follow on twitter too bud. He doesn't pull his punches, and I have a tendency to agree with what he says.

One thing resonates loudly within that ... Trading Standards are itching to make some high profile examples of B&Ms, even if the prosecutions are not successful they're after some headlines. They're not going to wait until next May.

I think they're just flexing their muscles. The last thing they need next May is thousands of shops flouting the law - if incidents like this introduce some degree of self regulation into the industry their job will be a lot easier.

I was at my desk and looked round for a drink, saw this, and just for a moment I thought "I don't remember buying that".

I can't remember whose twitter I got it off now. I think it was Dave Dorn who re tweeted it on the day of the expo?
