    Just to clarify, she (Hilary Weston) doesn't own BT at all. Her husband Galen does. It's all his money. The Sunday Times/Craig Gormless Doyle just use her name. She's a former model who married money, she's not involved in his businesses at all. And by the way he owns Penneys too!!

    Just a few points:

    1: the furniture in BT is not BT-the linen dept is called bottom drawer( completely differeny company,they're a consession) and they do their own furniture.Also a vast majority of furniture sold in BT is also a consession of a Dublin designer furniture company.The stuff on the 3rd floor is a mix of the 2 companies,not Brown Thomas stock.

    2:BT have recently made the decision to no longer stock fur of any kind


    They may be overpriced but i worked there for a long time and believe me there is no shortage of people with money to burn.People would shop and spend a small fortune in the space of 20 mins
