But the Next quote was a direct quote, because Next are seen as a bellwether for retail, B&M aren't so wouldn't have the same effect.
I should report it to the mods.

Hahahaha. They would need to hire another mod to deal with all the "embellishments" worried Brexiters feel they need to add.

Retailer of cheap tat sells lots of cheap tat in run up to period where people give cheap tat to each other. People on poor wages (such as those employed by B&M, well, except the top brass) can only afford cheap tat anyway.

This is the future of Britain - buying and selling Lynx box sets I wonder how much of B&M's stock is made anywhere other than China?
You'd do well to look in there from time to time! I'm on a decent wage and I saw they had a cereal that I would usually pay £3 for in Tesco for £1! Same size packet. I'm not a regular but it's certainly worth a look from time to time.

As a "metropolitian elitist" remainer (who was born and grew up in rurality) I prefer to buy quality. My trackball cost £50.

Sure, it works, but I would rather pay a bit more and avoid RSI/carpal tunnel
Agreed, and I'll often pay more for quality. But when it's exactly the same product, same size, but cheaper....

oh god more British people spending money in cheap stores, good for store management I guess, but it does not paint a good picture of Britain, only the deluded, would see the rise of B&M, Poundland and similar stores, at the same time as the fall of better quality stores like Next, as a good thing.

I would not be shocked if those deluded souls are Brexiteers, but I would not like to say.
And yet, with everything I've said above I do agree with this post. Overall it can't be a good thing for this country. Lots of people must feel they HAVE to shop in discount stores weekly. Very different to my situation.

That's not because the City are pro EU btw.
John Lewis are seen as a bellwether also, yet they're doing exceptionally well. It's almost like clothing sales have been hit prior to the vote.
