    You sort of touched on some of the issues; but failed to note some of the most important.

They spent more on upgrading stores than they lost on falling sales of high margin items.

    It's not too visible when reduced to 32px, but I think we have an entry for the Reg extra icon contest. Use a caption of "Gratuitous sex in advertising".

    The "I'm drunk on red wine - what can I cook for you" look is a sure fire winner.

    Wrong girl...

    I'm with Dave. We no longer want the leather skinned lady... we want the extremely cute (if a little scrawny) lovely that likes a drink and knows her place! *Imagining aforementioned hottie having a few too many reds and deciding to discard with the clothes beneath her pinny!*

    //Paris because I'm sure she's fond of discarding clothes after a few drinks too!
