Lightning Round: Chariots Of Fire, Ted L...

Omni Talk Retail
About this episode

It's lightning round time on Fast Five, and Chris Walton and guest host Richard McKenzie are taking a break from the week's retail headlines for a little UK film history, television, furniture assembly, and French retail.

From debating whether Chariots of Fire is actually celebrated in the UK and choosing which Ted Lasso character would make the best retail CEO, to an IKEA assembly story that takes a VERY unexpected turn and a disagreement over Carrefour versus Monoprix, this lightning round has a little bit of everything.
