Which High Street chain will go into administration by the end of 2008

Settled as None

None is the correct settlement option because none of the listed companies went into administration by the end of 2008. Other companies did, but they were not among those listed as options.

Background:

Will the changes in the VAT help keep these British retailers from going into adminstration before the end of the year? Will they be able to hang on for a few weeks more to see how the Christmas shopping season turns out for them?

Next--Men's Women's & Children's Fashions and Housewares
Curry's--An electonics retailer
Sports World--Sporting good retailer
River Island--Casual wear retailer
Other would refer to two or more of these going into admimistration by the settlement date
None would be the case if none of the listed options went into administration


Settlement details: As reported by a major mainstream news source.
