How far the mighty can fall. In the clothing sector formerly respected
brands like Farah and Ben Sherman have ended up in Matalan.

I bought an Yves San Lauren shirt there once.

No, you bought a cheap sweat shop shirt with a YSL label on it.

Matalan saw off C&A from the UK after 70 years.

Them and Primark & M&B &"George st ASDA" & "2 shirts for £5" TESCO.

They are cheap, but not nasty. They are big and powerful
and can negotiate with branded names.

To let them stick it on 3rd world sweat shop products made by prisoner
/ slave labour.
