The whispers seem to indicate that they are loosing interest in the high street retailer and are going to establish direct sales through a European distribution network which will include some direct outlet stores.
Dont believe that we will be any the better off - TNF, of course, will still charge retail prices; in old fashioned terms cutting out the middle man.
This may be a load of dingos kidneys of course 
However, sources close to the retail industry revealed this dastardly plan to the man on the street (me) to which he thought errr actually I dont own anything they produce other than a 15 year old bumbag....
