apparantly Theo from Dragons Den is considering making an offer to take over Woolworths. I'm sure he'd make a good job of it too!

I laughed at the person who said "MFI has collapsed" - Shoddy manufacturing 
Unfortunate but true... £3.4m of their profit was stock stolen from the stores...
Glad I never decided to pursue a career there.

Probably be Argos next. If you go into Argos on Boxing Day look at the size of the returns Q. Crazy. Im sure they give back all the money they made in the run up to Christmas. I think maybe in future they should reduce the 30 day money back on items not faulty. Surely they must lose alot of money.

Argos keep sending me discount emails everyday ive had to spam the suckers cos im not intrested who would be?
spend £100 and get £10 off or £50 and get £5 it's not worth it,
I got greater value off my iPod Touch from my catalogue
£169.99 to £147.00
Catalogues are proper crap but you can seriousley get bargains outta them

Dont like Argos. When i have bought things from them few times before the items have been previously sold or used. Was not happy. The items were marked and i think its cos of their returns policy. |

Ive bought heaps of stuff from Argos,
there a very good reputable seller i'd rather woolworths went and kept Argos open cos they do have some serious electronics in there
talking of Woolies I popped in to them they have a really good sale on of CDs and DVDs £3 to £5 some are £1 I say get your skates on 
I think a few phone shops need to close Phones4U has to go 
and i could live without 02 sorry lol

Troubled Woolworths launches sale (BBC article)
Troubled retailer Woolworths, which crushed under its debt last month, has launched what its administrators have called the group's "biggest ever sale".

Yeah, don't get your car keys our just yet, popped down there today after hearing the news, and its UP TO 50%, ie all the shit stuff.
Games and Games Consoles, and DVDs from what I could see, where only 10% off, Xmas wrapping stuff was 30% off, chocolate stuff was only 10%, phones only 10% etc, and I don't think music was discounted that much.
The only stuff that was half price is their 'Worth It' range of cheap goods. Got myself an all-in-one pen knife type thing for £1.25 rather than £2.50
