3 for 2 offers on businesses? Are things really that bad?

Never been in a Morrissons myself. Haven't been in a Woolies for a while either.

Morrisons is great for cheap but decent quality stuff

Always do the bulk of shopping there.

Nearest one is 17 miles away. While I can get there for free it's at least a three-hour roundtrip on several buses.

Probably not worth it then! Ours is only a 10min drive away and right next to where I work so very convenient

Always feels much more relaxed there than Tesco or Asda which is also a huge selling point.

Shame there's not one then. It was like a battlefield in Tesco last time I was there - people and trolleys everywhere.

3 years for the price of 2

Am having to go back to Morrissons today because the slab of cow we bought has gone bad within a day.....they seem to do this "prepared in store" thing rather than pre-packaged stuff, so I expect that's the cause....never trust those in-store counters :/

The guy quoted in the article (Richard Skuse) is my friend Jo's other half

Jo herself had just quit her PCGE as it was making her ill though stress and worry and now this has happened

Ouch

Anything to do with cars is getting hit so badly.
My next door neighbour works for Ford in a factory and just been told no more work till January, he's on full pay but missing out on shift allowances and overtime etc which is taking a big dent out of their income. Crap time of year for it

He's already worried he won't have work to go back to anyway.

Lotus usually announce redundancies at this time of year but this year have reported profit!

Honda uk have stopped production at thier Swindon plant for 2 months in early 2009. Plus there isso much car stock car sitting around in compounds and air fields that have not got orders on them. Just surplus stock !
However the Car manufactors will still not lower their prices to help consumers !
