  WHSmiths – the “wrong” type of high street retailer that is so well run, has so little debt, that in the middle of a pandemic it manages to take opportunities to expand when just about every other retailer is 2 away from bankruptcy.

    Given all the “knowledge” in the previous page, that’s exactly the same conclusion I came to. When people stopped buying CDs, I wondered if that might have been it for WHS: and yet, after that, and the pandemic, as you say, it’s expanding.

    Those little, quite smart, tech shops that they have are exactly what high sts need. And the margins on chargers and cables is far in excess of a MBP.

    I wish them luck.

  OT – I had the Marriott Bonvoy AmEx until March 2020. Am thinking of taking it out again to take advantage of the gold membership offer. Given it’s over 12 months since I last had it, am I likely to get approved or is there a longer wait period?

    No problem getting approved – I’d imagine they are keener than usual to have you, as they don’t need to pay for a bonus.

  They need an M&S Food airside- that would be the best addition
