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

if only they had used the same advert in Britain

Stockport?

They are only closing those stores opened in partnership with Sainsburys.

Does that mean no more "Whats yellow and full of crap" jokes?

:smile:

What's yellow and full of crap jokes?

Netto I would say!

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

I would have dismissed that as hyperbole, had I not been searching for more info on the story and found this.

So in May, they were going to announce in November what they were going to do. Something happened in the meantime. Could have been Brexit, could be something else.

How is this not hotter?

I've just filled two trolleys with all branded stuff for £63

Little Hulton store in Salford is 50% off too.

Well as I said before, something happened between May and now to change their minds.
I don't know if it's Brexit or not, but it's a legitimate question.

I'm in there now, it's bedlam :smiley:

Well I'm sad. I liked Netto.

if only they had used the same advert in Britain

I know!! :neutral_face:

Sounds horrendous:

http://www.hulldailymail.co.uk/half-price-sale-at-netto-stores-in-hull-and-hedon-sees-huge-queues-and-locked-doors/story-29488034-detail/story.html

I'm guessing there's nothing left worth a journey. :confused:

No, not the case, surprisingly- as I left there, 5.30ish, they had someone outside not letting people in, as they should have closed at 5, but also saying they'd be open at 9am today :smiley:
The issue there seemed to be that it isn't set up like Lidl/Aldi, to whip ppl through the tills- everyone had to pack their shopping at the till. As everyone had a big trolley full, it took ages, with queues that blocked the aisles and took ages to move. Tbh, even though ppl were fraught, there was a good sense of camaraderie, with ppl helping each other out with locating and passing stuff to others, but I wasn't half glad to get out! No intention of going back today either :smiley:

Went to the Leeds store, some absolute savages in there lol they even stop people coming in at times because the store is so full

Love that :smiley:

​Doesnt make sense it closed due to Brexit. As surely if people supposedly have less money then the budget stores would be more needed. Aldis,Lidls are thriving. maybe its due to those stores than Brexit.

Anyone able to advise if lincoln or sheffield is worth visiting or if they are still even there?

It is hull ..

Lincoln was closed early today due to run out of stock.

Yeah I saw that yesterday and thought there wasn't any point. Would only fear for my life, I know how nasty shoppers can get.

This site? Oh, wait a minute it's green.

With stores only left up north their operating costs will be hugh and their profit margins low, not surprised to see them close its been on the cards for years. Nothing to do with leaving EU just bad management decisions.

It rained today where i live certain people would have you believe that was caused by Brexit too

I don't think we've started the process. And takes 2 years to be out of it. You never know Theresa May could see sense and not invoke article 50.

Thanks, this saves me a trip. Not worth fighting people for :-)

You'd hope so, wouldn't you. I see the Tata Steel sale's yet another Brexit casualty - a self-inflicted wound by a lot of the less intelligent workers.

Brexit uncertainty

In a statement Tata said it had considered the bids for the UK business in detail and that they had also been reviewed "in the light of the uncertainties caused by the UK referendum and the outcome of the UK Government's consultation on the British Steel Pension scheme."

It added: "Taking the above issues into account, the Board of Tata Steel has decided to also look at alternative and more sustainable portfolio solutions for the European business."

They have just flattened my villages market to make way for a netto, the steels are in, what now????? :neutral_face:

Aldi or Lidl?

All the stores are a joint venture with Sainsburys. All 16 of them.

​On that basis are you expecting Aldi & Luck to have a wholesale shutting of stores as well?
Dream on!

Sorry to hear you've got jaundice :stuck_out_tongue:

Boring people always live in the past

​internet shopping?? What year do you think it is? Amazon and eBay both started in 1995. People have been shopping online for a long time. It didn't just happen after May of this year.

​we went to both hull stores on Thursday and again Friday. was long queues but everyone was in a good mood laughing and joking

We're not out

They said it's not related to Brexit, then they said it's partly due to "a challenging property market", which is 100% down to Brexit

God whatever next...Brexit blamed for Global Warming. It's done now let's move on! Honestly!

The idiots have made their decision, certainly. By a pretty narrow margin and based on lies and prejudice.

All Netto stores around here closed and replaced by asda lidl and aldi

​do you think that the high street decline started yesterday then?

Born yesterday were you then?

Spot on.

Massive ques today and no food left on shelves

It's a great shame they don't have more netto's around the country instead of closing then down

Aldi lidl and Iceland here we come

For years??? the Company only came back to the UK 2 years ago, Moortown, Leeds was the first store since the company left a long time ago

A spokesperson for Sainsbury's denied that the closure was linked to Britain's recent vote to leave the EU.

Which is nonsense of course, given the reasons also explained :

Mike Coupe, Chief Executive of Sainsbury's, said: "To be successful over the long term, Netto would need to grow at pace and scale, requiring significant investment and the rapid expansion of the store estate in a challenging property market."

And the challenging property market? A direct result of Brexit with property funds closing for withdrawals every day!

We think that Netto should still be there to give us good deals in the future. 400 jobs are being lost in the Netto business plus 100 in distribution.

​it has zero to do with leaving the eu

Michael McIncustard

Lets not forget that the remain campaign was also poorly handled. While I didn't personally vote since I didn't want my opinion to affect the whole country one way or another based on propaganda from either side (it's a much bigger issue than most people after all), the argument for leaving was whether the long term impact would benefit us. Short term hiccups are to be expected just after the announcement and the long term effects are too early to really tell. Honestly doing all this backpedalling after the economy already tanked is probably making it worse. One thing that has come out of this referendum is shown how childish and ignorant people can be when things don't go their way.

While there may be some uninformed people and racists voting for the wrong reasons to leave, there were also uninformed people voting to remain too. You say idiots voted to leave due to prejudice, but isn't that what you're doing by painting everyone with the same brush? You seem to be same just on a different side of the fence than the people you're trying to accuse.

They were closing down well before brexit.

I can see that all of their stores are cluttered in North England...

Just got 18 cans of Stella for £10, the price showed £12 and I was told alcohol was not half price but it got scanned at £10 so I got 4 :smiley:
