News - Dixons Retail shares plunge after profit warning

I'm like 70/30
70% crying over spilt milk in my left eye
30% crying over PC world in my right eye

It would be better run like Argos then they can compete more closely with etailers and customers can get their PC hardware same day. I'd pay a small premium for convenience but they would need to stock more desirable components. As it stands it's going to die slowly.

oooooh, yes! couple of shiny odds and sods on the shop floor to keep the silly buggers entertained, and the interesting things up top/out back for people that know what they want.

I went into PC world at Christmas. The biggest (non-apple) monitor they had was 21.5". Simply suicidal business practice to not even stock one monitor of say 24" and 27" . They had a whole wall of TVs, but just one rack of monitors comprising one shelf of 10 monitors (large - 19-21") and one of 10 others (small-medium - 15-17") I mean really???
