I don’t buy much in H&B anyway.
But I’ll be looking elsewhere in future.

As for Lush, the overpowering smell from the shop has always put me off - I’ve never once been inside.

I read this yesterday so I won’t shop there anymore.

Some Lush products are apparently made in Domodedovo in Russia. Who knew?

Definitely boycott.

That’s a shock isn’t it ? I thought it was a good old British store.

I seldom go into our local one any more, but I would boycott it now.

I was amazed to read this morning that H&B is Russian owned.
I thought it was a great British institution.
Will Gransnetters boycott the store?
It’s a dilemma for me as they employ thousands of people in the UK.
