Ive never been past one for a while so i havent noticed but a friend of mine works at 1 in newcastle and he said every month they are always down thousands of pounds cause of people nicking things as they dont have cameras in their shops

Company who owns em went into administration, so sold to a sister company.
Most stores have shut, and I believe some are staying open.
