Flocking to Woolies...

<clik to xpand >As yet another dark, wet, coughing breath showing
numbing cold-as-it-gets-without-it-snowing....... miserable UK sheep yuletide encroaches and the economy heads in the general direction of malaise and meltdown... and on the very eve of that grand old British sheep shoppers' ( and I did say shoppers
) pick n' mix institution Woolworths - along with Mrs average houseproud town mouse's fave store of trendy beige, MFI - going into administration ( read f***ed, both ), here we have the Credit Crunch BitingTM as never before and announced on the evening newscasts as matter-of-factly as if it's merely a couple of drab little corner shops biting the dust in the remote fastnesses of outer Penge.So a' flocking to good ol' Woolies the smart Xmas shopper sheep will doubtless be trotting... to eagerly graze those end-of-line stock clearance sale bargains, as the hapless institution faces the humiliation and irony of ironies of being potentially re-branded (ptp) as an "upmarket pound store" after itself having being sold off for a squid !
Bring us the dog heads of those Woolworths management wallies on plates... they couldn't manage the proverbial whelk stall, they couldn't run a bath - or a sheepwash for that matter. Hundreds of high street prime locations, a £47 million bank loan just last year... and they couldn't even break even.

SHEEP DRIP ( Penned)
@ 2008-09-16 – 21:07:03
The collapse of EX L airlines and the stranding of thousands of sun-seeking sheep abroad, along with the fire in the Chunnel both combining with the worst summer on record highlights the uniquely perculiar plight of this sheep island.
The fact that we do indeed..... live sleep and graze, ON AN ISLAND.
On an island where the national flock is becoming increasingly trapped (penned).... and panic-stricken.
A familiar weather chart this summer, apt in every sense for a sheep nation going down the plughole.
The BBC, keeping the crap all chirpy cheerful under-the-wool carpet, as per usual.
... not only by the atrocious weather but by economic conditions. The first European country to go into recession, the value of Stirling dropping like a freshly bolted sheep in the slaughterhouse against the euro ( how long now 'til the Pound/Euro? )Of course all this gloom is music to the floppy ears of top dog Gordon Frown... he can blame his dour performance totally on world economic conditions. The soaked flock is distracted and running every which way to escape economic events overtaking them, while Gordon laughs his way to the next election, the spineless Labour MPs as always looking after their own butts ( seats) first. The country can go to hell in a handcart.
And it looks like it will, with hardly a sodden bleat of protest in earshot.
