Good call, there's been an air of disorganisation and desperation around them for a while.
I'd also add HMV, Thornton's and House of Fraser.
It's a shame really but Inside a branch looks like walking into the branch in the 1990s, nothing has changed - much less some of the stock on the shelves.
I can't see it surviving in its current form for long - except in train stations/airports etc where it has smaller branches which have most of what people want at that time and expect to pay inflated prices.

I thought HMV had already gone!?!?!
Smith's aren't helped by their ludicrous upselling policy, where you go in to buy a drink or some fags but are hectored at the till to also 'pre-order' the latest Harry Potter or buy whatever giant chocolate bars they're having trouble shifting or some other crap. As for HMV, they've still got a few shops open in the UK (also some under the 'Fopp' brand,) a couple in Ireland, and a few worldwide, but I'm amazed they've lasted this long.
Those smiths £1 chocolate bar deals are null and void now that the RRP that's even written on the packaging for most giant chocolate bars is low and behold, £1 now; in every shop.
According to physics, nothing ever quite touches. When you lay your hand on something, there is a microscopic amount of space between the atoms of your hand and whatever you're touching... so no, officer, technically I'm not jacking off right now
Nathans Pie and Mash Shop in Barking road.
Over 80 years serving the East End and a match day tradition for many West Ham fans. The demographic of the area has drastically changed and West Ham have moved to Stratford. This East End institution really didn't stand a chance.
