I WOULD to respond to the article on the closure of the Paris store and in particular about the comment made by the owner Rebecca Menaged. She is quoted as saying "we would like to thank everyone connected to the store for their efforts".

In reality the only thanks that myself and former colleagues would appreciate would be to be paid the wages we are owed.

I was one of the fortunate ones to have received three weeks pay, all be that being paid by postdated cheque, for the full 12 weeks that I was employed there.

So I'm sure you would understand why the former staff don't really want thanks and best wishes.
