pogofish Posted January 13, 2009 Report Share Posted January 13, 2009 Yup, I don't think the chances for any firm going into administration are that good just now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neil Posted January 13, 2009 Report Share Posted January 13, 2009 I think it's estimated that 1 in 6 of high street stores will have gone bust by the end of this year. So plenty more still to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigsby Posted January 13, 2009 Report Share Posted January 13, 2009 Surprised to see Land of Leather and even Findus going into administration.What now for the crispy pancake? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest treader. Posted January 13, 2009 Report Share Posted January 13, 2009 The sooner the shambles that is Land of Leather dies off, the better.Seems as though time trumpet's estimation of Tesco being the only store on Earth by 2014 could be closer than they ever thought.

ca_gere Posted January 13, 2009 Report Share Posted January 13, 2009 Seems as though time trumpet's estimation of Tesco being the only store on Earth by 2014 could be closer than they ever thought.They are gradually taking over the world.All we need now is David Beckham to grow a vagina on his arm and Charlotte Church to vomit her organs out and Armando Ianucci is officially Nostradamus in disguise.For anyone who hasn't seen Time Trumpet that is probably the oddest post ever. Apologies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RossP Posted January 13, 2009 Report Share Posted January 13, 2009 Ahh... I haven't thought about Time Trumpet for a year or so. *Goes away to watch that famous scene with apes on youtube. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know if that applies to the shops as well.Or is it another scam sale?I think JJB has something to do with them not being able to afford to insure their stock or something?!!

Alkaline Posted January 14, 2009 Report Share Posted January 14, 2009 I think JJB has something to do with them not being able to afford to insure their stock or something?!!Yup, that is the case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hog Posted January 15, 2009 Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 The shitty companies like JJB and Land of Leather are bound to go first. They really haven't moved forward and modernised/diversified. IMHO this is a bit of cleansing exercise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigsby Posted January 15, 2009 Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 So Hog is safe then?!Ha, I'm sure he will be. I hat kissing his arse but friends of mine recently showed me their wedding album that Hog had done for them and it was amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest treader. Posted January 15, 2009 Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 Yup, that is the case.Are Bruce Miller's doing alright?! I'd imagine they'd be okay as they are privately owned.I could be totally wrong. Although, did you know that BM is one of only 3 privately owned stores on the whole of Union Street?!Brownie points to anyone who can get the other two.

Bigsby Posted January 15, 2009 Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 I suppose it depends what you mean by "privately owned"?For example, I'm pretty sure the 99p shop is owned by the Christie family, or at least it used to be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pierre Von Mondragon Posted January 15, 2009 Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 E & Ms does that still exist?, as for the other indie, I'll guess the big Christies chemist next to Brucies, I want to know the answer to this now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest treader. Posted January 15, 2009 Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 Michie's Chemist is one of them, yes. One more to go! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigsby Posted January 15, 2009 Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 So you're saying the 99p shop isn't privately owned then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigsby Posted January 15, 2009 Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 While I wait for your definition of "privately owned" I'll say Jamieson and Carrie (sp?). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest treader. Posted January 15, 2009 Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 Jamieson and Carry is right. Christie's isnt owned privately any more. (I'm pretty sure) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
