That is sad, Vic. Bern, Marek, I would not take any satisfaction from MickeyD's going bust, do you really want another town centre shop empty and what about those who work there?

Sad not only for the loss of a great name but also because the apprentice schemes having been scrapped Barwicks over many years have trained many quality craftsmen in this town. we are livig in a short term market and skills are not regarded as they should be.

maybe in these cash strapped days that was the problem victor?
builders have to pay up front for the labour to do a job, if the client has a credit agreement, then find that they cannot pay, the builder is in big trouble.
this is all supposition, of course.
