Well we have the death predictions, why not a Company death predictions?

Marks & Spencers always seem to have problems. I could perhaps see a recruitment agency going bust this year

GUESSES
Punch Taverns
Orchid Group
Network Rail
House Of Fraser

wh smith
boots
bhs

DSG
Jaguar/Land Rover

Nearly every small newsagent when this stupid law comes in, when they can no longer display cigarettes in view but have to keep them locked away.
Other travel agents/airlines without a doubt, the strength of the Euro will definitely kill off a few in the next 6 months.

I think I spend enough in Boots to keep them afloat!!!!!!!!!

On a serious note, I can see someone like Waterstones going bust.

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.

Robert Dyas i reckon. Never seen the point of that shop - overpriced stuff for the house that you can get everywhere else

Waterstones are owned by HMV aren't they?

It's a big web of sin and they're all fucked. That's if we have a mousey holocaust anyway. Look and Read!

Some part (but not all, that was the point of the separation) of DSG
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.

Accessorize, Moss Bros & Republic are my random stabs in the dark

Premium Bars and Restaurants have suspended shares...

pre empted me there gaz, the drinks industry is up the swanny, I reckon a third of pubs will disapear this year and half of nightclubs.

I think the writing's on the wall for south coast based independent record labels as well.

nope, we are choosing not to release anything at the mo :)

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.

Little Chef's days have gotta be numbered. 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.

I think Im right in saying that Heston Blumenthal been working with them to try and make them viable? 

Could be interesting!

JJB Sports are supposed to be really struggling from what i hear

and Land of Leather are about to go under as well.

Starbucks.

Because when the credit crunch really starts to hit then people will see them for the hyped up over priced crap that they really are.
