TimesOnline suggest closing down sale in "next few days", so maybe the weekend? Announcement due from Deloitte's soon.

I was in Woolies in East Kilbride, shelves pretty empty now and staff seemed ok despite them obviously losing their jobs any day now. Still was up to 50% off. What a shame for all the staff.

Mainly crap left anyway.

Nothing that requires electricity anyway.

Too right, isn't nice losing your job at any time let alone Xmas. Hope we all understand how they're feeling when we clear out the stores.

Not much to do with anything, but the picture of woolies used in that report is my local branch.

Lots of the big stuff will have gone, and none of the games consoles etc. will be sold off - the administrators will get more for them selling them on in the wholesale market - but you might get 10% off still.
Shame for all those staff though - not a good time for anything like this.

Just broadcast on Radio FiveLive, announcement from Deloite the official administrator.

Get yourselves down tomorrow... who know's what's going cheap!

Pick and Mix... here I come!!
