His Master's Voice; for how much longer?

Quick post tonight, got lots to do so'll catch up with you all tomorrow. My pic highlights the plight of one of the UK's most iconic retailers. HMV has operated stores since 1921 but has now called in the administrators. Although their management are confident a solution can be found, the company's future looks uncertain. Most worrying of all is the fact approx. 4000 jobs are at risk. Personally I doubt the brand will disappear; it's too big and well known for that. Most likely a buyer will be found (possibly in the form of a vile private equity group) who will close smaller branches and consolidate losses to run a leaner business concentrating on a few core products and a smaller range of titles.
