    There had been criticism that some of the High Street stores were starting to look rundown and tired, with a Twitter campaign highlighting the state of some floorings.However, [WHSmith Chief Executive Steve] Clarke said: "I'm not sure I accept the premise. We have 615 stores and we have a lot of lovely stores. The ones highlighted on Twitter were earmarked for new carpets already. We have a very high footfall and a very high carpet turnover.

    But how bad could they be?
