Nice Quote that Dave, had me chuckling for several minutes!! Their staff really wind me up too, was in there the other week and got pestered by 4 different members of staff within 10 minutes...then when i asked for product advice i got blank stares!

Things arnt looking good for sure, was in Llandudno early this week and their Woolies was all shut up and looked really bleak, its a sight which is going to prove very depressing in Accrington from Monday.

I think Debenhams might struggle this year, also Ethel Austin.

This will be due to losses in revenue as more customers default on payments and their inability to match/undercut prices of goods for sale online

Betterware as well.
My daughter, had a patch for the them, round Christmas time it was a nice little earner, then Christmas 2007, it was a waste of time, so she packed it in, a new person took over, not seen a betterware clatalogue in ages.

Yeah but they are all separate businesses or franchises aren't they, depends how each one copes. Never been since the early days, got way to pricy. Used to take the kids up to see the birds occasionally, and seometimes buy cheap rolls of material on that outside stall. Not been for years

There never seems to be a shortage of coaches at Ossy Mills and you see folk getting back on with plenty of shopping. Lots of folk come for a day out.

Me too, Panther.

The car parks are overflowing at weekends and people park on Moscow Mill Street, making it awkward to get past. :(

Re: Recession List 2009!!

One of the big Supermarkets could easily go to the wall this year. I wouldn't make a prediction but Asda might be the one. Aldi could go, too, as Lidl seems to have cornered that market. Superdrug isn't competing with Boots any more and several of the High St. "names", like BHS and Next, may follow. Debenhams is hanging by a thread - in this area at least - and I have my doubts about Dorothy Perkins/Burtons.
