Hahahaha! Great minds. I did mentally go through two or three other choices but as soon as I'd thought of Topshop I knew that was my answer. I couldn't choose for least likely, but I think you may be right about Smiths.
I think Smiths may be a winner - on the other hand they have clung on, so maybe they will re-invent themselves (the Oxford one hass an impressive collection of Polish Mills & Boons).
I have never been a Topshop girl myself, so it didn't even occur, but I see the reasoning.
Our Smith's doesn't seem to know quite what it is for, doesn't seem to quite cover anything as fully as its competitors on the same street do, and I personally virtually never buy anything from it. (Apols to the person reading this who works in Smith's - no offence to it, the ambience is nice and their goods decent and they staff fairly friendly and helpful, I just don't happen to go in it much). So, I'm not sure...it's probably safe in places that don't have too many other book/card/magazine/art/stationery shops but not in places that do.
