I actually think the whole concept of retirement is a bit stupid, so yes, I do want to do something else.

When my mother died, my father was in a crisis, my sister was in a crisis, everyone was in a crisis.

I am the largest market shareholder of clothing in the UK and I am not a destination shop for food. If the clothing market is affected - and it has been - and I hold my market share mathematically, then fine, I am doing no worse than the market is doing, which is exactly the case, but I'm losing revenue.

I think that business leaders today have to be more rounded than they used to be, they have to be completely multi-functional and fast-moving.

I don't believe in retirement.
