It's a free country, adopt whatever PC stance you want. Just don't tell me which stance I should take just because it clashes with your opinion.

To be honest, I thought it had gone years ago.

As a student, I worked in several department stores, including one small, family run store rather like Randalls. They are so outdated now, sadly. The big boys like john Lewis and House of Fraser only keep going because they have also diversified into internet sales. We are a nation of armchair shoppers these days.

There are still a few around, e.g., Elphicks in Farnham, Surrey, and Camp Hopson in Newbury, Berkshire. Long may they continue!

So sad, the store should be purchased by English Heritage.

Everyone should visit it at least once to see a piece of history.

I visited plenty of those stores as a child in the 70s and 80s, does that count?

ENGLISH HERITAGELOL... PLEASE..... the stock is not historic...randalls sell 'current' merchandise 
 
the building is listed already ,  thats enough... english heritage should focus on  better things than shop counters and cash registers....
