Other travel agents/airlines without a doubt, the strength of the Euro will definitely kill off a few in the next 6 months.

On a serious note, I can see someone like Waterstones going bust. Title: Re: TEF Company Death Predictions 2009 Post by: Barry Scott on Thursday, January 1, 2009, 22:56:36 I think M&S will be fine.
Debenhams is a goer, and in agreement with The Gazzatron, i think a few recruitment firms will be bought out or go under in the not too distant future.

Never seen the point of that shop - overpriced stuff for the house that you can get everywhere else

WHSmiths (and aren't the Post Office in Swindon going to look like cunts when that happens, having closed down their main office with a cheery "Oh, its OK, you plebs can queue at some micro-kiosk in Smiths instead") Argos - precisely what is the point of Argos these days? If you want fast, cheap etc you go online, otherwise you go to the damn shop where you can at least see the thing before buying it. A VERY small and imploding niche there M&S will never ever go bust because my Mum shops there and she's never wrong. In fact, when the nuclear holocaust all us 80s kids have been hanging round for finally happens, the final trace of life on Planet Earth will be cockroaches wandering round the sensible nightwear section of an otherwise devastated M&S, tutting that it's not the same quality since they brought all that lingerie nonsense in. You just don't get the double-stitched gussets, you see.

Agreed, I beleive Walkabout or the company who own them are fucked. Sold off several units last year towards the end of it. Pubs are fucked this year. Our pub co are trying to minimise things and luckily we got a bit of money in the bank but ofcourse this will be subsidising losses very shortly.

I know they were saved in 2006, by some idiot, but he clearly wasn't of a business disposition and seems unable to do what's required, so expect him to take them down.
