Site Supporter Spider Posted January 8, 2009 Site Supporter Share Posted January 8, 2009 (edited) I got 20 Lambert n Butlers from WH Smiths in Bolton, ?5.70 , ?5.15 is the going rate in and around town. I hope they do go the thieving cu nts It's tickled me has that. I can see the headline now: Taken from The Times, March 15th 2009 "WHSmith to close all stores" WHSmith became the latest victims of the economic downturn/credit cruch/media-driven panic today claiming that pursuing their poilicy of being a bunch of thieving c?nts has caused the chain to go to the wall. A spokesman said "If only we'd charged 50p less for our snouts we could have avoided this. Instead, we're paying the ultimate price" Edited January 8, 2009 by Spider Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sweep Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 This credit crunch excuse is bollox. The media spout on about this and as usual creates panic. How many people can honestly say they have been hit that seriously in the pocket? Just thought I would remind everybody how this thread started - surely the most inane post for many a year!

Traf Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 It appears the chavs are bucking the trend: JD sales up! Not really: those figures are to August 2nd 2008. One would argue that the last 5 months have been considerably more difficult. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweep Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 Bovis builders have just announced they are to get rid of another 200 people. 12 months ago they employed 1000 people, this will be down to just 400 shortly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Idiot Wind Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 If you're a FTB at the moment (and have a deposit) the housing market has never looked so good. Just snapped up a real bargain - 40% cheaper than it was this time last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Idiot Wind Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 Not sure - but I got a new build. I knew that their year end was approaching so was cheeky. They've stopped building on that site so it was pretty obvious they were cash hungry. I have no intention of moving for at least 5-7 years so happy days!

Site Supporter MickyD Posted January 11, 2009 Site Supporter Share Posted January 11, 2009 I don't think this is down to incompetance though.

Widnes Two Hats Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 Our sales figures got released this week, we're 9% up on last year Internet sales are up 41% Having said that, I had to settle for an 8.94% rise last year so I'll expect a bigger rise this year The credit crunch is only affecting me due to the exchange rate, my holiday this year will now cost me an extra couple of grand and my mortgage in American dollars is now only 1.43 instead of 2.10 so I'm having to buy fewer lobsters and beluga caviar for tea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
