Default Recession? What Recession?

Apparently, during a recession, stores are meant to close and leave streets empty...apart from in the last few days, two new cheapo stores have opened up in Blackpool (baaaaaaaaaahgins )

So I say, Recession? What Recession?

That is the type of Store that does well (99p store , poundland)
And Aldi and Lidl
all are taking over dead shops
as former Tesco shoppers save big money.


No Motor Show this year.

Times are Hard
in this New Labour Depression.

Sadly Netto
are limited to their few stores.


Meanwhile German Aldi is setting up many new stores
taking Tesco customers.

Even Waitrose/John Lewis
had to, for the first time,
start up a Budget range
to Try to bring back customers going to Aldi
