`  == Debenhams ==  ``Debenhams, would therefore not be included in the British definition of a department store.`` - I would class Debenhams as a department store, as would 99% of the British population. I'm not sure what 'criteria' it fails to meet in the 'British definition', but Debenhams sell a wide range of products over several departments, each with their own tills (at least in the store I worked) and still have specific staff for selling specific products. I'm not sure what else you could class Debenhams as, its hardly a 'Large discount store with tills at the entrance'.`
