Just popped along to my local Netto ( I realise not everyone has one) for weekly meat/fruit deals..Hammered in store..everything 1/2 price except Fresh meat, Veg & Flowers, alcohol is reduced roughly around 25-30%..No confirmed close date is given, just that it will be sometime in august..& they are still replenishing shelves!!
People seem to want to blame brexit voters for everything it seems, Internet shopping decimated the high street more than leaving the EU will and how many people who voted to remain shop via the Internet., hypocrites????. This country survived before the EU and can survive after it. We're out now and negative backbiting won't help the country

The idiots have made their decision, certainly. By a pretty narrow margin and based on lies and prejudice. But the consequences which they didn't understand, and which will come back to bite them, are only now starting to unfold. Article 50 hasn't yet been invoked. There's still time to stop the disaster.

We're not out
Everyone who campaigned to go out has resigned
Every promise that was made was backtracked, and mostly on the same weekend: NHS money, immigration limits
There was never a plan for what to do next, but the most likely scenario is becoming part of the European common market, so we pay the same money and obey the same rules but with no input
They are only closing those stores opened in partnership with Sainsburys.

all of them, the original stores were sold to Asda years ago, the current ones are a joint venture with Sainsburys

Indeed you are 100% correct. I had forgotten that their last venture into the UK was bought up by Asda?

Just less than 2 weeks, did anyone expect the citizens of UK wanted to exit the EU? It did as I was as who would know what the future holds. It's very clear the retailers are already adjusting their business policies to adapt to this uncertain economic climate with cut backs & offloading extra overheads to protect their main core business to stay afloat.

Its happened because Sainsburys only reopened them in the wrong places and have now have to raise the £2b for them to purchase Argos

Sainsburys wanted to buy Argos before the comment made above, in May.
