NOT AGAIN

Get the back issues of every newspaper around this time of the year going back the last twenty years and what do we find.??

Exactly the same thing being said by the same whining, whinging retailers year on year.
Xmas collapse, high streets bereft of shoppers etc etc etc.This year it's the credit crunch last year it was something else, next year something entirely different. Always we get the saved at the last minute verbiage You do not have a God given right to have customers in your shops no matter what time of the year it is. All the price slashing (alleged) proves to me just how much you have been overcharging for your stock in the first place which allows you to do it and still make a hansome profit.

SHOPS BRACED FOR 'CRITICAL' WEEKEND

What a dreadful economy Brown has created in Britain. Relient on christmas shopping of things we no longer produce, so he can grab a bit more tax to fritter away on a bloated state. Bannana Republic springs to mind.
