I'm afraid I'm recovering from the BeoVirus.

Here in the US only 'essential' retailers are legally allowed to remain open. 

I had a chat with my Austin-based business partner yesterday and he was driving around in his car, dropping off clothes at dry cleaning and other chores, even though he told me he was "in lockdown".

We can't do any of these things in the UK! I'm mostly stuck in the house.

I think Texas is opening up further from Monday where retailers can open and offer a "to go" service.

Ok... a Wikipedia about the author then?

 

 

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_W._Richards

 

Oh, well then...Wikipedia, that's an unbiased source for sure!

Dave Richards is a poor excuse of a reporter.

He only sides with a brand that give him something for free, hes a product whore to the industry.

He gets along with the manager of Aqipa, who used to distribute B&O Play in Australia, They did a poor job and complained about low margins. Aqipa would sell to smaller retailers who didn't give a *** about protecting RRP and didn't know the product. The new distributor of B&O in Australia took back distribution, and Aqipa didn't walk away as reported.

Any opportunity Dave gets to be negative towards B&O, he goes with it, dig deep into the Channel News website.

A store closed last year due to personal reasons, yet his heading of "Another B&O dealer struggles" is lies...
