Now,
let me get this straight, I haven't
bought pic'n'mix for about 30 years,
but that's not the point. The point
is if I wanted to buy it where the
heck would I be able to?
Nowhere.
That's
the bleedin problem.
Good
old Woolworths was a happy eclectic
mix of stuff, today no more. Or, more
accurately, today more, but the administrators
have been called in so maybe tomorrow
no more, or the day after... It's
unlikely they will make it to Christmas.
It's a disaster.
Of
course, if we were the managers of
Woolworths we would have closed this
bloody dump years ago. But, oh no
they clung on hoping to make ends
meet. But ultimately the ends didn't
meet and they have collapsed into
a heap on the floor just like we told
them they would. Repeatedly.
High
Streets across the world may never
recover. Other shops may even now
collapse into the black hole left
by Woolworths when it disappears.
And it serves them right. Should have
gotten in to the internet years ago.
Better still, should have invented
the internet even.
As
for MFI, what a load of piffle that
was.
As
for Currys.digitial? Are they next?
Gotta go, the phone is ringing and
it's the lawyers.
