Bookmark topic
Woolworths the high street chain has gone into administration following massive debt because of the current economic crisis. The high street chain has debts of over £385 million and has over 500 stores up and down the UK. Around 30,000 jobs are at risk with some closing now and the rest next year. I think this is really bad they have been going for 99 years and Woolworths do sell some good items including bargain mobile phones too.

Yes its a shame its like so many old British companies going to the wall so sad. I dont know i might be wrong but ever since Labour came to power nothing but British jobs and UK industry is vanishing forever its scary. I know they are not to blame for the whole credit crisis but they are partly. But so many jobs and so much industry has gone or gone abroad since they came to power. Will never vote them again. Mind you im Irish but its bad over there now. My uncle cannot sell his house now.

that whole 2% of VAT makes me laugh when they decide to place it upright again it will be more like 20%
how the hell is 2% gonna make us wanna buy anyway?
might be ok if your buying a Plasma or sumat but below that it's a waste of space.
i'd like to see politicians live off min wage and see how they get on,
cos it's not fair they have £2k luxury
then when the UK goes down the pan they make us the consumers pay for it all!
Labour need to go Conservatives need to take bloomin over rant over!
