Is there still any Beatties shops in existance??
I worked for them in the past (before I got a real job) and they were in
deep shtuk for years. Then the Cardiff shop closed suddenly, and I know for
a fact although it didn't have the highest turnover it had the highest
profit margin, so I assumed the entire thing had gone tits up.
www.beatties.net has gone too.
