Threshers RIP

[Weegee]

I cant believe it...i knew that Threshers were in trouble, but saw a closing down notice on Threshers in Lordship Lane.

I wander whats lined up for its premises!

[????]

Subway are rumoured to be bidding for Thresher sites.....

[Brendan]

So is there booze going cheap?

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

Reasonably reduced. Chap helping out his mum to sell stock - not sure what will happen to her, quite sad.

[karter]

I don't think it is sad, some people are looking forward to it, the young guy is a fireman and helping his mum out, she should get redundancy. This place is prime location for any business, but, it won't get snapped up, due to the landlord being an a*$^*^** or just too fussy.

[Sue]

Surely the "quite sad" remark was not about Threshers closing down but about someone being out of a job.

She will probably only get statutory redundancy if anything, which won't last her long, and then what?

I hope it's another estate agent...

[ruffers]

Just when I'd found a local supplier of La Gitana sherry as well.

Bugger.

Tell me about it! I've got a good few gift vouchers that they're no longer accepting. Been talking about redeeming them all year but thought I'd save them for the Christmas booze run.

[James]

Oh dear Woof, such bad taste. And yet, quite funny!

[dbboy]

Are they still trading?

[*Bob*]

I don't know what I'll miss the most:

The 3-for-two 'offer' that wasn't an offer at all.

Any wine - as long as it's Radcliffe's.

The selection of crips wasn't bad though, I suppose.

[Keef]

I still miss Victoria Wines.

Hah! The only good crip is a dead crip.

They have fantastic closing down offers. I got 10% off two packs of Kettle Chips bringing the price down to ?3.50!!!!

Then I found that Somerfield were selling 2 packs of Kettle Chips for ?2.

No wonder they are closing down...

Oh, that and the fact they sell cr*p wine at inflated prices.

On another note, the woman who worked there was very nice. Hope she finds something soon.

On yet another note, sincerely hope that it isn't a fast food joint or an estate agent or a bookmakers.

Please someone refer to the "What does ED lack?" thread (ignoring the sarcastic comments about needing another estate agent...) and open something that people actually want!

Wee bit pokey for a B&B.

I think you're confused - anyone can open a shop, usually after a feasibility study --- if a fast-food store opens it's usually because someone's deemed it feasible that it might do well.

I don't think 'it fits in with someone off the internet's aspirational posts on a forum' is considered that often.

[Keef]

Quite right, the other thread also highlights that different people on this site want different things, so "open something people want" is somewhat broad. I'd love a fastfood place if it beat the current crop.

Is that a specific reference to the landlord there or a general thought about what might happen?

[Gimme]

Well done. You've passed the course that teaches you to believe anything that anyone tells you.

Yes. Feasibility study. That's what people want. If it's feasible, people want it.

Business school. That's what they teach you. If it's possible, you can persuade people they want it no matter how cr@p it is. Great. Why would anyone pay any attention to aspirational internet posts when you could just open something feasible that is cr@p but that a feasibility study has proved that people are stupid enough to use if given the opportunity to do so and to avoid the alternative that may involve thinking or making an effort.

Looking forward to Subway or perhaps (if we're lucky) a feasible Poundland.

Round here I'd probably open a TennerLand.

[thelittlebigvoice]

At least the Boss MAn is back in business soon - no doubt with a price hike!

[thebestnameshavegone]

You are quite possibly mental.

You rude little person.
