I find it hard to get people to insult me in real life like they do on here.

these are not exactly quality jobs. most will be part time, shelf stacking, and till jockey minimum wage jobs.....thats if 5,000 jobs really materialise.

Is it good news?

The collapse of the independent retail sector, combined with the growth of the large multiples.

Its not hard to picture the day when the only place to buy clothes, groceries, electricals and music will be in one of the big supermarkets - they are getting all the power.

Thats the time we will see their prices edge-up as they capitalise on their absolute dominance.

People say these things, but would you choose to have to go to 18 different shops to pay over the odds for 20 different items, when you could go to a single shop and buy all of those items for half the price, taking half the time?

If they don't do it, someone else will... Bad business models get replaced by better ones, it is the way the world works.

its not possible for supermarkets to compete on 'exactly' the same basis as say waterstones or boots or virgin or whatever, because the choice that supermarkets give in things like household items, books, music, toiletries and perfume can never be as big as the choice that there actually is. for example, my favourite perfume is acqua di parma 'nobile iris' (or iris nobile, i can never remember), its really hard to find in shops, the other one i like is escada sport, 'country weekend', again, another one you cant find easily in shops. a supermarket will never sell this sort of stuff. the other day i was looking to get some older albums of santana, i also bought a book called 'austerity britain', none of the above is ever going to be available in a supermarket. and to top the lot, im a 'plus size', their clothes dont fit me and i dont like their shoes, so they're not going to get my pound there either.

Belive it or not. Not every job can be degree level (some quality jobs as you put it will be created)

I think people need to get used to the fact that even though 2/3rds of people go to university there are no where near as many jobs requiring one.

Just a thought but why do so many in this country push education above achivement. There will be hundreds of thousands of graduates in employment that does not warrant a degree at a great cost to the tax payer and themselves.
Uni now seems to be more for the social experiance, one last big blow out before the reallity of real life sets in.
