So you agree with me, but do not understand why?

"I have no idea what the comment regarding new builds and them opening new shops is all about?"

Which comment by whom?"

No I think if you read the comments on this story you will see the comment quoted was from sunshineleic, therefore it is sunshineleic I agree with. I am also suprised you didn't recognise your own comment:

Please read:

"The company, which opened five new stores this year..." This does not state new builds/building. They might have taken over other existing building for example. However, this is not clear and is down to interpretation."

It's great news for Topps Tiles but not so great if for tradesmen if it is down to DIY. then again maybe more tradies are soucing cheaper products from Topps as well?”

“@ LikeItaLot:

I feel the least of your worries if your home is flooded badly is the replacement of the floor! The whole house would need professionals in; electric, structural (etc) damage is more than a quick DIY job! This is why it is important to have home insurance!”

“"Massive coincidence that there's major flooding in Leics at the moment, a time where people will no doubt need to be replacing their flooring"

For some people cynicism and jaundiced perspectives must cloud a happier view of the world.”

“"@City_C10 Which also means that local builders, who, may I point out are also businesses and are much more likely to spend their profits in the local area, are losing out to the big chain companies who are more likely to source cheaper materials from abroad. Fantastic. Doh."

I agree, while people are taking these jobs on for themselves they are not paying tradesmen to do them therefore while tops tiles profits are going up local traders profits are going down. It is an unfortunate result of the current economic climate. However there is always the hope that people are still not very good at diy so the trades may be called in to fix their mistakes.

I have no idea what the comment regarding new builds and them opening new shops is all about?”

Thanks for your comments. But this is not from a press release, but a statement to the London Stock Exchange which was issued this morning. You'll find many national media organisations have also picked up on the story, with most providing a similar amount of detail.
See tomorrow's Leicester Mercury Business Daily section for full details and analysis of the results.”
