BBC: Comet electrical stores sold by Kesa for £2
Anglo-French electrical goods retailer Kesa has announced plans to sell off its troubled UK-based Comet stores to a private equity firm for just £2.
Apparently, they nearly blew the deal when they tried to sell the private equity firm an extended warranty.
Great joke, thanks!
Damn! My standards must be slipping.
Damn and blast! I am after a new TV and could have got thousands of em for two quid.
The chief executive declined to be interviewed - he merely responded 'no comet'.
Good grief, you chaps are starting to turn into me: I nearly called this post No Comet.
