Peckhamgatecrasher Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 Reasonably reduced. Chap helping out his mum to sell stock - not sure what will happen to her, quite sad.

karter Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 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 Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 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?

silverfox Posted November 13, 2009 Share Posted November 13, 2009 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.

*Bob* Posted November 13, 2009 Share Posted November 13, 2009 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.

Gimme Posted November 13, 2009 Share Posted November 13, 2009 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!

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

Keef Posted November 13, 2009 Share Posted November 13, 2009 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. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/8601-threshers-rip/#findComment-263000 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gimme Posted November 14, 2009 Share Posted November 14, 2009 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.thebestnameshavegone Wrote:-------------------------------------------------------> Gimme Wrote:> --------------------------------------------------> -----> > and open> > something that people actually want!> > 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.
