    I knew about Argos OLM I just didn't realise that Habitat was still around, but didn't Sainsbury own Homebase at one point, the Hessle one had an Argos franchise inside the store, don't know if it still has.

    They bought Argos primarily for the distribution capability they have in place.

    Argos is no longer in Homebase, Hessle. There is an Argos phone in Sainsburys next door now.

    Sainsbury's started Homebase, but flogged it in 2000, it's had a couple of owners since and last year was bought by Australia's Bunning's Warehouse group.

    They're rebranding the stores, so Homebase will gradually become Bunning's.

    Those big lights on poles, that everyone originally thought were CCTV, can do some clever stuff on an evening (courtesy of Octovision)...

    It's actually a still from a video, I think they did it Friday night, the video is something to do with the Hull Daily Mail Business Awards.

    People started queuing at 9.00pm last night, just to buy a pair of the new Adidas Dublin's, the shop opened at 8.00am, they'd sold out by 8.04am...

    It seems those big lights on poles don't just light things up, they do special effects as well...

    Half the people in that queue will have them on eBay already, they're already selling for around £400, 7 hours queuing for £300 profit, a profitable night for the robbing bastards who bothered.
