This morning's news is that BT has no intention and a German suitor has dropped out. Shares fell 20% in a day.

People rather buy a new device and spread out payments instead of getting a used one. It is bad for the environment if they fold, there’ll be a spike in e-waste."},{"@type":"Comment","@id":"https://www.hotukdeals.com/discussions/music-magpie-in-trouble-4252103#comment-51617784","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"NCIS"},"datePublished":"2023-11-29T13:59:24.000Z","text":"They haven't listed any DVD/Blu-ray preowned new listings for 20 days now.
