As someone with an accounting background I would be extremly surprised if Baby goes "bust", am not saying they wont close it nor am i saying they wont sell it - truth be told I dont know - but they wont declare bankruptcy as I imagine the structure of the company is that its under group ownership and if you bankrupt one part of the business when the remainder is solvent/profitable it brings a whole host of problems for the rest of the group - if its a standalone separate from the group its a possibility but I cant honestly imagine this is an option at all and isnt a rumour which really should be spread about as it isnt very helpful. You only need a rumour like this to get out into the wider community to instill panic in both employees and consumers - look at Northern Rock and the run on the bank with the panic there!
