Even the Big names are in trouble too. Makes you wonder when it all will end.

Ah, found it. Jeez!, not good news - although it looks like Woolies was on the brink for several years now.

LOL wonder why they went under

[Stevel]

This is just the start.

Companies that have struggled in recent years are the first to go. It's not just them either as the suppliers are effected too. I think we supply Woolies and if so it may be just a dent in sales but there seem to be more and more dents appearing,

[ed taylor]

By the way things are going you might only be able to buy things off the internet. That would be the wrong way to go. Mind you it would stop us blokes being dragged around the shops looking at every item whilst our wife can not make their minds up what they really want.
