Woolworths and MFI

The news today, that Woolworths and MFI are facing administration, is somewhat of a shock. Woolworths have had 'problems' before but the fact it will soon be no-more, is very bad news indeed. Apparently over 25,000 people might loose their jobs which is not good news at any point in the year but, with Christmas drawing nearer, it is harsh.

As someone who was made redundant earlier this year and, is struggling to find gainful employment, I feel truly sorry for the staff of Woolworths and MFI - unfortuantly folks, you are about to join a growing number of the unemployed.

Here's a link to the full story at the BBC -
