There was a rumour they were giving out vouchers on returns.

I was told by the Manager in the Chichester store that they are no longer issuing vouchers as they cannot honour them. I have a voucher and was told that I could spend a small amount and they would give me cash as change. Will try it out today.

I've just seen on Sky News LIVE! - sorry I can't remember which store it was, but it was deserted. Not a single person outside the store and the signs are still saying Up To 50% off. I don't think I will bother.

Been passed two stores this morning. Both had a small gathering outside. No additional signage at either. Looks like they'll open a bit later today.

Not sure why the managers need to have a meeting about redundancy pay outs this morning, they are only going to say get in line behind Customs and Excise the Inland Revenue and the banks, anything left over you can divvy up among yourselves. But there isn't going to be anything left over, that is why they are in administration.

If I worked for Woolies, I wouldn't bother going in any more, I'd be looking for another job, what are they going to do? sack you?

Pride? Professionalism? Looks better on the CV to have stayed on until you were told you were no longer needed, surely?

I'm there now, nothing changed apart from clothes. The star were saying my reductions by next week at least

You should have brought them all and crossed the border this sunday for a carboot!!!:beer:

I probably would have bought a couple more if weren't so bulky and if my car wasn't parked about a quarter of mile away. I'm sure they'd have come in handy as presents at some time in future.

Doesn't work in practice though does it, if you were sacked and out of work and needed some source of income, being sacked means you would struggle with DHSS claims.

Thanks for sending word back from Woolies, very helpful.
