One of the world's largest furniture retailers, the South African owned consortium Steinhoff who own several popular UK brands (Benson's, Harvey's the now defunct Cargo and more recently poundland) have made a shock announcement in the city this morning.
"Every one of our Benson's for Beds outlets, including Harvey's concessions stores will cease trading on Sunday the 13th November at 5pm. No store will be open after that time" said Ben La Grande, chief operating officer on the Steinhoff group board of directors.
No further details were given and its believed that all stores will remain closed for the foreseeable future, or at least until they open for business again the following morning at 9am or 10am for Harvey's concessions.
We are still waiting for any further words on the matter from any of the management team but staff members at Benson's stores seemed resilient and said this kind of thing happens on a daily basis and shouldn't be taken too seriously. It's claimed Harvey's and poundland are ran in the same way with stores closing on a daily basis and all staff sent home, usually around 8pm.
We will keep you informed of any further developments in this drama.

whale spotted in illinois river A humpback whale was spotted near Morris IL in the Illinois River today. The sighting comes just days after 2 Great White Sharks were seen frolicking in the same area. While not impossible, it does seem unlikely. It is thought that the whale may have followed the sharks as they sometimes do in the wild. The whale would of had to travel over 1250 miles to get to this location. The Marine Biologist Association will be in town for a full investigation. Until we have answers, we are asking folks to keep their pontoons and fishing boats docked.

two great white sharks found swimming in mississippi river near saint louis, missouri. While it is not entirely impossible, it is incredibly uncommon for salt water dwelling creatures to stay for lengthy periods of time in fresh water. However, two Great White Sharks have managed to survive the trip and make their way up the Mississippi River somehow. Believed to have started as a mating couple, the two are assumed to have swam the 920 mile journey from the mouth of the Mississippi River that is connected to the Gulf Of Mexico. Officials in Saint Louis have contacted the Missouri Conservation Department and will likely have a team in the river soon to capture the two lost sharks.
