The interest doesn't pay off debt it pays off interest. When the try to raise bonds again they may find the market demanding more interest. Their level of debt will stand still so technically you're correct I suppose.

Why would you go any earlier? When the problems with the club shop in Tesco are well documented (every other day on here somebody moans about it).
