This whole Woolworths thing has really made me think about alot of things the store I used to foundly remember getting lost in as a kid may be about to close, I don’t think all of it will close but here are some of my thonughts as to what I think may be happening and what has happened…
You can bet your bottom dollar there are offers on the table for Woolworths’ I think the administrators are just negotiating with peoples futures, they haven’t go the deal they want so they just saying to companies up your offer or we’ll shut it down. Yes there are alot of quiet stores out there, but there is also alot of busy ones, in the end the quiet ones eat the profits of the smaller and then it’s in trouble.
We are all to blame anyway, always wanting cheaper and cheaper prices, letting the supermarkets chains get too powerful selling everything from Milk to Car Insurance, what do we expect, we’ll we wanted choices and we got it, we chose to buy things cheaper from supermarkets and the internet that’s the cold hard truth. Our choices effect the nations workers, we chose cheap 4 pound pairs of jeans and then chirped on about young children working abroad to make clothes in sweat houses, we still wanted the four pound jeans though!!!!
We’re not prepared to pay the prices to keep English workers in work well now our greed for cheap prices has killed our manufacturing and retail business in the U.K. It’s time to ask yourself what do you stand for, do you stand for paying what the price should be to keep people in work or do we buy the cheap clothes and just shut our eyes to the poor kids who have to slave to make them.
Either way we are all to blame.
