I don't want Ringtons to close down, I love their tea, we get it delivered to the door and the little van driver is hot ![]() And I didn't know Roseby's had gone into administration either. |

I am a bit confused because the Roseby's in town has gone but I bought two duvet covers in the one on the retail park three hours ago and it looked very bouyant... I think they were the first to go busy so how does that work?

I'm expecting JJB sports, PC World, Currys and a few others going to the wall.

If they ever were to be in trouble it would be quite easy to shed a load of stores/jobs to stay afloat. |

I was shopping in Adams today and it was virtually deserted, while Next a couple of doors away was packed. There were 2 assistants obviously discussing Adams demise and looked really upset.

I would be concerned at DSG International as a whole as it owns pc world, dixons and currys nd currys digital etc but as a whole it is sellable if any of these branded retailers goes under
but if it went under restructering i would fancy pc world to be merged under the currys branding and streamlined into one operation but JJB Sports will probabily go under sometime next year |

Can't see PC World or Currys being affected - they're part of a much larger organisation and are still very profitable.

This is so funny. It's like playing 'domino rally' in a council house.

Reminds me of that Simpsons episode where every shop in the mall became a Starbucks. |

I feel bad for the folk losing their jobs, but I didn't rate their clothes anyway, over priced junk.
