Right - first post updated with RULES and my POINTS(ish) and everyone else's choices.
Also my new choice,
Frontier Developments
, just to annoy Fozza.

Just checking the first post, can't believe no one has gone for blockbuster or whsmith yet, so I'll have them! Add on, err, carphone warehouse? One of the phone shops has to go, and phones4u have a decent brand presence on tv etc, so likely car phone will be the one to go.

A quick look on wiki shows that it nearly went under but was bought out in 2011 and is still going.

Aww, really? My local one turned into a Saisnbury's Local shortly after it was in the news, can't think of any Blockbusters in Edinburgh now.

Right, updated.
Also by my understanding of these ill-thought out rules, I get 1 point for HMV going into administration but still trading. If they then cease trading all together do I get another 2 points? Who knows!
Also, what if they come out of administration? Do I still keep them (plus the replacement I decided I was allowed) on my list? Would I then have 4 companies to play with (YJ)?
Whoever thought this one through did about as good a job as the person who appointed Kenny to do the forum awards.
