Removed mention of NDC

I have removed mention of the National Distribution Center in Corby, Northamptonshire. It doesn't exist anymore, Comet have moved to a new system consisting of solely using RDC's (Regional Distribution Centers) Negashark (talk) 19:48, 26 February 2012 (UTC)

Date format

Per the MoS, "the date format chosen by the first major contributor in the early stages of an article should continue to be used, unless there is reason to change it based on strong national ties to the topic or consensus on article talk." The format that has been consistently used since 7 January 2009 is that of dmy (eg 9 June 2001). Please do not alter dates to the American mdy (eg June 9, 2001) style.

Criticism section

Seemed too pithy, tbh. There should be some mention of the larger controversies eg the industry price fixing and extended warranty investigations - and the Microsoft piracy thing may be worth mentioning - but looking at the article (and the company) as a whole, nit picking seems undue.

Current Situation

£2?

"Kesa sold Comet to private equity firm OpCapita for £2 in 2011.", from third paragraph. Don't know the correct figure to change it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.23.26.31 (talk) 17:27, 25 August 2013 (UTC)

Doesn't need to be changed: £2 is the correct figure. Keri (talk) 20:34, 17 July 2014 (UTC)

• Oppose "ProLine is a range of own brand electronic products made by Darty plc for BCC in the Netherlands, Darty in France and Vandenborre in Belgium." Comet was the UK retailer for ProLine, not the sole retailer. Darty still exists. Keri (talk) 23:31, 25 November 2015 (UTC)
