Why is it that the Littlewoods, Marshall Ward, Grattans, Choice, Choice for you, Abound, Kays and Additions catalogues are all excactly the same apart from the name and the fact that some have slightly different prices?
What is the point in this?

Because they all draw their goods from a common warehouse or direct supplier, and many are the same company trading in different names.

It's coz the parent companies are the same - good for tax fiddles - losses can be written off against tax for the poorest performing company
