Jessops closing 81 stores...

According to BBC News, Jessops will close 81 stores (roughly 25%) to save £15m. Given that they just announced a 6month loss of £25m it sounds like too little too late.
It'll be interesting to see what the share price does today - I don't foresee any great recovery on this news.
