His master's voucher

Recently Money Post wrote about the terrible value of gift vouchers ("Bottom of the deck", December 31). We were surprised, however, to see our views so quickly validated by news that music retailer HMV is under administration, a form of bankruptcy.

As reported, staff initially told customers they were no longer accepting HMV gift vouchers. The next day the Hong Kong company clarified its position and said vouchers were still redeemable.
