I have removed quite a few purely advertising sentences: "Sales staff were trained to be friendly and knowledgeable but never overbearing", "neat stacks of black-capped, green-labeled products lined the shop floors" — I love the Body Shop, but this is supposed to be an encyclopedia article. Also some redundant adjectives, and descriptions of Anita Roddick's flamboyant nature. I have to say, the article is probably too much of an advertisement still, though. (I also removed the implication that Glasgow is in the Third World.) Bishonen 00:53, 11 Sep 2004 (UTC)

P.S. In this article, it says that the original store was in Brighton, but according to the stub article Anita Roddick, the business was founded in Littlehampton. I suppose one of them is wrong? Unless "founded" means something else than the first store opening. User:Fervent spirit, I see you edited a little while ago (sorry I had to shorten the article so much!), perhaps you have information on this point? Bishonen 10:20, 11 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Have anyone read the external link of an article of Jon Entine. Although it was done in 1995, it seems quite interersting about the body shop. I would like to know if anyone here thinks its reliable information. I am already read first 23 pages of 50 and it seems to. In that case BSI would have been a quite evil company, at least until 1994, being hypocrit in its claims on natural-based products, not tested in animals and so on... Any clue? --Darkmaiki 02:20, 22 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
