I use them occasionally to maximise my extra loyalty points. Like get the echinacea and something cheap to get a lot of points.

But mostly use independent chemists here or in Southwold for chemist stuff.

Topshop empire "didn't come close to collapse" according to the headline:

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-48617404

A relatively modest 50 stores (about 10% of the total) will be closing, which suggests that more will follow.

But to be fair, Boots have now said 200 stores whereas the April story/rumour was about a rather smaller and unspecified number.
