Amazing how quickly people forget how Ashley treated his staff at the start of this and were saying sports direct should be boycotted.

Probably not.
There'll be a group of people who probably never shopped at Sports Direct, thought Ashley was a ****, his actions reinforced that view, and still won't shop at Sports Direct.
There'll be another group of people who don't really care, or might be able to afford to care, where they can pick up sports gear.
Added into the mix, today at least, will be NHS workers who had the opportunity to kit themselves and their kids out and save a few quid. Given some of the low pay scales in the NHS, I'm not sure I can blame them for their choice, even if it's not one I'd make myself.
I mean this in the nicest possible way but the real world is very different to the NSC bubble, and to some degree The Peoples Republic of Brighton & Hove.
Why would anyone shop I Sports Direct when there is a far, far, far superior sports store right next door. Decathlon.
Cheaper, better quality, cleaner, brighter, staff with knowledge, much better range of goods.
Common people really are a curiosity.

We avoid SD as much as possible, but my missus has finished her shift at the RSCH and headed up there for a few bits. Usually go to Decathlon for our sports gear (which had no queues outside at all apparently - SD queue was up North St and round the corner) but the lure of half price stuff today for NHS staff has proved too strong for her, and saved my card a walloping...fingers crossed.

The showroom is open today, and we have had three people in, not one of them under 60 years old. Showing and describing pros and cons of flooring is very difficult keeping a 2m distance, no one really knows what to do, it is very awkward, I don't like it at all.
I really do not understand the alleged ques for such places as sports direct and other fashion outlets supposedly parents getting school uniforms etc.
With a second wave probably around the corner, some schools not even having kids back yet, (we have been told they won't be back full time in September !!) why rush out and buy shit..
I don't get it, the smart thing is to wait and see for three or four weeks, and see if there is a peak again, not splash out because there is an alleged bargain to be had.

Do you lot PM each other to agree the annoying trope of the day or are you really only capable of copy and paste?

100% on all of that, Decathlon is excellent, plus if you’re busting for a J Carol Naish in central Brighton their toilets are 5 star hotel standard, and the best kept secret on North Street...oops.
Sports Direct is where the Football Lads Alliance chaps get their grey flannel jogging bottoms. Avoid.

My family got back some of the Amex experience today in their first shop visit, to Cuckfield Candy Store & More (from which Kevin "no relation" Barber provides Stadium Sweets):
No, next ridiculous and somewhat aggressive question...
What do you object to in Chicken's post?
It seemed an eminently reasonable position to take.
The example given was Sports Direct Worthing. There is no Decathlon here.
His lack of originality.

Much needed sense of normality finally returning
Yup...The virus is here, its not going away via a vaccine any time soon. So lets just crack on, be careful but crack on and live life. If you feel vulnerable, stay in, but let others enjoy their 3 score years and ten.

Okay. Why does anyone shop in Sports Direct when Decathlon exists?
