The new owner will rebrand the High Street chain as TGJones, but said it would keep the Post Office outlets that operate in many branches.
I think they’ve missed a trick here. My uncle used to call it Smudgers. Much better name!
Weird to think there won’t be W H Smiths on the high street where I used to go and read the magazines for free as a lad, but there’s still going to be one at the station near where I work in Melbourne.
The WH Smith name is not being sold and will still be used at the airport, railway station and hospital outlets that are also not for sale
Makes sense to rename it
Not sure I trust Lemmy to not be shitty with this comment but the new name really gives 2010 trans chaser magazine.
Well that just rolls off the tongue
