Talk:Bhs
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I think this article should be under Bhs (capitalised as such). The name "British Home Stores" feels very old-fashioned now, and is almost never used by younger people or in the media. Loganberry 22:32, 26 Oct 2004 (UTC)
OK - was a requested article on the UK noticeboard, but will move. -- ALoan (Talk) 22:40, 26 Oct 2004 (UTC)
This article seems like a buyers guide rather than an encyclopdic article - I'm afraid I know very little about it though - maybe requires a clean up? --Pridds 21:52, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
This article is filled with value judgements making part of it seem like a PR piece by the store chain's management and part of it like vandalism perpetrated by a disgruntled ex-employee (I mean the part about call centre staff in India being unable to speak English and about directors paying themselves enormous bonuses). It certainly needs a clean-up. 19:49, 3 November 2006

[edit] Reversion
I've reverted a couple of sections, which as noted above seem to be from a disgruntled employee/ex-employee/customer. The reverted text can, of course, be seen in the page history. Carre 15:17, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Just To Say
Many of the call centre staff can't speak properenglish, they can be very hard to understand. There is also unhealthy pressure to sell cards. Although I don't know about the money that the bosses are supposed to be making the rest is true.
[edit] Advertisement
Is it me or does this article read more like a public relations/advertising for bhs rather than an encyclopedia entry. Perhaps a tidy up is called for. MilborneOne 23:05, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
I have tidied up a few of the sections and removed some of the non-notable and advertising bits but I would suggest more work is required. Interesting the section 'First Major Change' was fifty years after the company was formed. Presumably it did not change for 50-years !. MilborneOne 23:33, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
.... No ones stopping you from trying to find some company history from the 30s to 80s!! ;-)
[edit] 1930s-80s
Has anyone found any information on the company from the 1930's to early 80s?? I sure can't find anything...!
