This reminds me of the time I went to buy a sandwich at 11:20 and the lady told.me they don't open until 11:15. I told her it was 11:20 and she repeated her slogan. This went on a few times then I walked out.

The problem with economics/capitalism is they have to grow. In fact you have to grow just to stand still (inflation). It's rubbish.
Having said that, I still order from wiggle and haven't received any bad service from them.

I buy all my needs from shops. 
Never had a problem with Wiggle but I've been using Rose a lot recently particularly for things like brake pads, cassettes and chains if you manage to get your order up to about £90 it's free delivery and for things like this brake pads they are about half the price of Wiggle etc. Delivery very quick as well it usually takes about three days for it to arrive from Germany always the correct items delivered.

Ordered a wheel dishing jig on Tuesday and it arrived first thing this morning with two packets of Haribo inside. I've only had excellent service from them recently and also found Rose great as well.

Plus one for Rose. Good prices and way better than wiggle and chain reaction if you are a refusenik from 10 and 11 speed and associated stuff.

Cycle sales seem to have hit something of a brick wall having enjoyed many years of growth. Evans having sixty stores are carrying all that overhead so are suffering.

Thanks cyclops. Rings a bell.
This quote from the article interesting
"There have been a number of adverse conditions in the market in recent years such as oversupply, poor weather and roadworks in London, b"
The poor weather (over several years?!) sounds like a typical boss excuse (the sort that uses hot weather or cold weather with equal abandon to explain reduced profits) but the oversupply was indeed interesting.
And of course means that unless all your cycling gear is destroyed in an overnight hurricane there is no need to ever pay anything like full price for the stuff. The upside of "fashion" for folks who don't mind being so last month.
Similar applies to bikes.

The boss who made that excuse and the others got moved on a few months back for missing his targets. They are up to CEO number 3 in just a few short years.

Certainly clothing... and small stuff... and technical stuff.
