1. People have less disposable income for plant pots

2. Not surprised…

   If I wanted home furniture I go to IKEA.

   If I wanted DIY, I go to b&q or Wickes.

   If I wanted plants, I go to a garden centre.

   What does homebase have for me these other stores do better and cheaper?

3. They’ll be others coming soon, inevitable after the latest budget.

4. When future generations can’t afford a house but if they’re lucky they might be able to rent a flat with no garden, what’s going to keep these home improvement/DIY businesses going?

5. I will give them £1 if they want then do a BHS that’s how this stuff works right?

6. Can we subdivide them into flats? Just thinking, they already have a bunch of the stuff plus they to be near other shops that sell supplies, they’ve got ample parking, are near public transport options, and they’ve got a large foot plan and could probably house a couple hundred people comfortably.

7. More huge retail spaces that will just sit empty for years.
