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 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.

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

Benni

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'.

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
