Heard a rumour today from our head office that Motorworld have ceased trading as of today!

Also heard Comet got rid of all their deputy managers!

Interestingly was also informed today that up to £70k is protected in case a bank goes under if it's a joint account, which is nice.

 

not sounding good.

got to cut back if no one is spending.

 

Credit Crunch my ballsack, Motorworld have ceased trading as they SHITE

 

to be fair motorworld only really sold chav chap!! Stuff already available at halfrauds!!

Not surprising they went under. wonder how long before more highstreet franchises go bust.

 

Well my 5 year mortgage deal is up on Oct 31st, its fixed at 4.19% so i went in today to see the adviser about changing my deal, in the end i came out happier than i expected, got a 2 year fixed at 5.78% which is costing me an extra £35 a month. Nationwide are doing some great deals with no fees this week.

 

they've not gone completly under yet, I work next door to one which has survived, they shut friday, loadsa stores were shut for good and stock shipped out to other stores over the weekend, 2 area managers remain the rest were laid off

 

i called at motorworld on saturday for a piece of pipe to fix a fuel leak...it said closed for stock taking reopening monday i know its not the best place for car bits,but sad times in general me thinks

 

Having spent 6 months as a store manager for them several years ago I am quite happy to agree. Bunch of clueless cunts.

 

so true actually worse than halfords ripspeed crap

 

Good.
My local MDC was replaced with one of these.

 

motorworld have done the usual.they closed all then convienently reopened 97 under different directors. they went bust 24th sept,the day before their quarterly rent,taxes etc are due.then they reopened 27th.convienient?

mfi have just been bought out to as they were going down. not good times at the mo

 

There is some GOOD NEWS to come out of the World financial crisis then.

Just needs a few more casualties;

MFI (mainly because of their constant sales)
DFS (mainly because of their constant annoying adverts)
All the pound shops, if there are any left.
Half the Charity shops (not the charities)
A few more national house builders (that'll teach them to build crap houses)
All the no win no fee merchants
All the shopping channels on Sky /Virgin

 

Passionford economy reporter there. lol


I agree though,.. they are cheap crappy shops

 

PMSL

Yeah properly tat shops though!

 

I also worked for them but fucked it off quite shortly after.
I started selling my arse and giving blow-job's as it was a more respectable job.
Even our lass told her workmate's i was a rentboy as she felt happyer talking about that then me working at motorworld.

 

wont last too long this credit crunch,the good thing is the crap shops will fall and keep the proper shops in gravy.

 

motorworld were a pikeys halfords and thats bigging halfords up . ,

always had some boy racer behind the counter that would talk all day to his mate in the shop about subs and 6 x 9 s but knew shit all about what bulb you needed for your headlamp ,,

also they must have gelled hair its all in at the mo

 

i know; i work there.....for my sins

 

whoa i used to be able to get stuff ordered from motahworld and because they would price match or beat demon twats,i could get a good deal, i also used to get my aerosols from there when i used to brighten up walls and bridges with my occasional user name gouranga

 

Motorworld, when your too chav for halfords

 

Love it. I went their to buy a motorbike helmet and they only had small, my head is fucking massive. He said they was big sizes, I could see it wouldn't fit and he said he thought it would. It wouldn't go over the crown of my head, and he told me to hit it hard. I said

'If by a small miracle this goes on my head, I can assure you it will never come off'.

Benni.

 

Halfords wont be going under, they are still making good profits, good share prices and they are one of the few retailers with no where near negative equity which Currys and others are suposedly very bad for.

 

Motorworld went into administration last thursday, shut down 95 shops and laid off 300 people. Then everything left was bought by Pacific Retail (owned my the same people who owned MW in the first place)
Not all the staff are pikey fuckers btw






Just most of them
