Such a crying shame its come to this isnt it. If Wilkinsons can make a do, then surely Woolies should have been able to. Can only be down to bad management really. They should have developed a greater on-line service i feel also.

That is not the case, if roumours are to be beleived then wilkinsons is in a similar situation as woolies (although maybe not yet as extreme) but the staff are all said to be worrying about their jobs as their future isnt as secure as they thought ........

There was always a queue in woolies when i went in (used to pay at the entertainment desk to avoid it lol) Dont think that means much really, will see if I can find anything more solid to back it up other than word of mouth lol

Is Wilkinsons privately owned do you know, or part of a larger group?

Apparently people are already selling Woolies "souveniers" on ebay!! Madness! I suppose the time to really worry is if Tesco goes under, we would know the world was in trouble then!!

Went into the Woolies in Harrogate on Boxing Day and they also had posters up selling all the fixtures and fittings including the microwave from the staff canteen, and the shop safe!!!!!!!

Wonder if the staff got paid double time for working a bank holiday???

I'm pretty sure that won't be happening.

They have a stranglehold. Everyone seems to think they're really cheap for everything too so can't see how they'd go under.

I only have to walk an extra 10 minutes to get better quality, cheaper, veg/meat from my local shops rather than Tesco express. It's really worth it under student conditions as I have a bit more time on my hands compared with somebody who would rather just do their whole shop at the big Tesco.

Spot on Andrew, tesco are not cheap, we went in once, got our usual shop and it was much more expensive than asda, told the cashier to take a good look at the debit card because they wont see it again, food stores should sell food stuff, not car, diy, white goods etc etc, no wonder there is nothing but pound shops left!

flashy · 28-12-2008, 14:51

I think next year will see many shops and the like close down.... the powers that be, have not us the full story ( with it being Christmas )
but will hit us in the early new year..... ( think I will make the most of this year what's left of it )
