"Penge Homebase closing

Contrary to a report I read a few weeks ago, Penge Homebase is one of the Homebase stores closing. Just wanted to make sure everyone was aware :-( No official closing date yet, as far as I'm aware, but they are already reducing goods."
It's hardly surprising when the competition is better, cheaper, more accessible and provides a better service.
Last two times I've been in to the Penge branch of Homebase, it's been almost empty of customers. All went wrong for them when they were bought out by the Aussie outfit who quickly resold them off.
