Just thought I would post this here. While it's nice to get a cheap deal, at what cost? I would hope many climbers would think twice before supporting a company that has such awful business practises and working conditions.

But at the same time, the look I imagine on the Geordie's faces when I keep Mike Ashley's pocket lined is one to behold

Well said, there is also an issue with the way they avoided redundancy payments (and other creditors) by transferring assets out of one subsidiary and into another. Buying from a company like this is akin to buying stolen goods

Must admit I was expecting a torrent of abuse along the lines of 'BUT CAPITALISM IS PERFECT' or something so I'm pleasantly surprised by the muted positive reaction.

@ChrisTheTall - Agree with you. It sucks that the regulatory environment allows giant companies to game the system. I avoid buying from Amazon for the exact reason, IE everything is rigged in 'their' favour, at the expense of ordinary people. I read somewhere or other the 'deficit' the tories keep going on about could be paid off in a year or two if there was no tax avoidance/evasion and the loopholes allowing all these tricks were closed.
