Turnover[edit]

I think ever since the PC World at J9 was relocated, Fosse Park has been leading the way in terms of turnover. djspromo —Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.242.86.187 (talk) 22:18, 28 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Does Fosse Park really have the highest turnover? I believe its very close to Wednesbury Juntion 9? Can anyone confirm this? Goatboy2005

Although I no longer work for Currys (my High Street store closed end of February), I always believed it was Junction 9 that had the highest turnover. My store probably had the smallest turnover, being about the 2nd smallest left in the country at the time of closing. At this time of year we would probably average about £30,000 > £35,000 per month :)

I used to work at J9, the highest turnover usually alternated between us and Fosse. It just looks like the article has been written by someone from Fosse Park - I think the highest turnover is irrelavent and could be removed; or at least changed. GoatBoy2005

Website[edit]

The Currys website [1] appears to be down. Is this a regular occurance? Drutt (talk) 23:53, 30 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

When were Dixons stores in Ireland rebranded as Currys?[edit]

Would someone with knowledge of this please clarify the apparent inconsistency between the cited link[2] that says "2008" and an old edit[3] that changed this page from saying "2008" to "1998"? I'm trying to assume good faith. 92.40.253.117 (talk) 02:32, 23 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Who in the world is "Sebastian"?[edit]

I just saw this edit on the Currys page:

"Currys is run by Sebastian, the one with no moral code whose staff pride themselves on incompetence, telling lies about the products and generally acting without any virtue or integrity. For excellent products DO NOT BUY FROM CURRYS!"

Wait.....who's Sebastian? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.190.142.59 (talk) 20:49, 13 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Merger discussion[edit]

I believe that this article should be merged with Currys plc — Preceding unsigned comment added by Zerbstill (talk • contribs) 18:05, 6 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Weak oppose The two articles have very different histories. The Currys plc article is about a company which was born out of the merger of Dixons Retail and Carphone Warehouse Group in 2014. The Currys article is about a company formed to make bicycles in Leicester in 1884. There is a quite a lot of good material in the Currys article which would need to be merged into the Currys plc article. Dormskirk (talk) 18:16, 6 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I think that considering Carphone Warehouse has its own Wikipedia page outside of the merger page, we can make it clear to reflect that the brand was merged into Currys. I find that the PLC and the Currys are reflecting more or less the same topic. Zerbstill (talk) 12:02, 10 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
