The end is nigh.
The world has gone mad. Woolworths UK has gone bust, so has MFI. I thought Lehman Bros going bent was bad...but Woolies??
What next? India and Pakistan are on the cusp of a potential nuclear conflagration, things are going from bad to worse.
We all must start whistling 'look on the bright side of life'.
She'll be right.

Both are in receivership - so it looks like Woolies in particular may be bought out - and the more profitable stores kept going. Not so sure about MFI.
Either way huge knock on effect for individuals like suppliers, staff and, in the case of MFI, delivery companies. And could it have come for those employed by them at a worse time?

Personally, Im a little more concerned about the prospects of a global holocaust than I am about having to find an alternative source for my bag of dolly mixtures.
