Comments on: Gloom again at the shops http://johnredwoodsdiary.com/2008/12/27/gloom-again-at-the-shops/ Incisive and topical campaigns and commentary on today's issues and tomorrow's problems Thu, 09 Feb 2012 11:18:17 +0000 hourly 1 By: Derek http://johnredwoodsdiary.com/2008/12/27/gloom-again-at-the-shops/#comment-9259 Derek Sun, 28 Dec 2008 14:01:47 +0000 http://www.johnredwoodsdiary.com/?p=2482#comment-9259 Yes, some of the worst post boxing day sales figures. Those retailers who've cut their margin to shreds with heavy markdowns and Woolworths firesale are sucking out a lot of the spend available to the detriment of more viable businesses. The first tranche of Woolworths closed yesterday and were running a genuine 90% off everything this had a particularly negative effect in the small market towns. I see product growth areas in wheelbarrows, so we can get our quantitive easing to the shops, and, for when people finally get fed up of the government making them poor and oppressed, pitchforks. Shops in Westminster might find a surprise demand for streetlamp to gallows conversion kits. Yes, some of the worst post boxing day sales figures.
