Following the demise of such high-street favourites as Woolworths, etc, which businesses/shops would you like to see go under? I mean, if there were no people losing there jobs and that, of course. I don’t mean to be disrespectful to them.

So, who would you gladly see the back of?

Me:

Iceland: Profiting from selling crap to obese people, when better nutrition is what’s really needed.

McDonalds: See above, plus they’re ****.

Carphone Whorehouse: Who cares if you’ve got the latest **** flashy fashion-symbol? It’s a **** phone, ffs.

Chain pubs: Putting decent pubs out of business, and never having any decent beer on tap.

Hackett: Nasty, nasty clothes, worn by total w4nkers.

BT: for medical reasons (my sanity), I will not go into detail. Utter, utter useless **** ****.

I’d better stop there. I can feel the mist descending, and my bood pressure rising.

Where’s me Valium?

Jo Baxi’s taxi’s in Rochdale cos one of em ran in to me tonight, luckily all ok AND i kept calm and rode away. No point in ranting at him cos it doesn’t make a bit of difference.

TWONKS

Bernard matthews – Selling absolute sh1te for years, now trying to look farmy and wholesome.

Subway – For gross smell on every high street.

New look – I’d love to not have to go in there ever again (with the wife obviously!)

JJB – (looking likely btw) for selling nedwear (chavwear in scotland) to the masses.

Starbucks – After a particularly distasteful incident in Barcelona involving an asian homeless women with a baby and a toilet with a keycode lock.

Costco – I don’t know why, just don’t like the idea of it.

SKY – To bring the premiership footballer back down to earth with one huge **** earth shattering bang!.

All the picture loans type folk who pray on the feral and the feckless.

Celtic – for personal reasons.

Tesco, foods shite, fruit and veg is shite – swallowing smaller businesses

British Gas – lets just say I have my reasons!
Ryanair – Michael O’Leary (no other reason required IMHO).

Primark – Their clothes are cr@p but then again that may be because they are made by 10 year olds in sweatshops.

Sports shops that don’t sell sportswear primarily to be used in sports activities (running from the police isn’t a legitimate sports activity).

Oh and AW Helicopters. Then there might be a chance that the British military won’t once again have a completely unsuitable aircraft (FLynx) thrust upon them just to protect British jobs.

Wiggle, CRC, Merlin and all yer LBS’s. Who needs a rear mech that’s 20g lighter, lights that have 20 more lumens than last year etc? They’re just selling lifestyle upgrades to middle-class wannabe-downhillers. They’re only bikes FFS!

What’s wrong with the Lynx?

I like Tesco.

**** DFS – For their rage inducing averts.

Nestle

Halifax building society, for inflicting that **** Howard on us.

Oh, hang on, hasn’t someone already tried to destroy them? Understandable, really.

Some good calls, here. Sky, Starbucks, Bernard Matthews..

druidh – don’t you have a titanium hardtail with custom lettering?

Daffy – Member

druidh – don’t you have a titanium hardtail with custom lettering?

Your point is, caller? 😆

What’s wrong with the Lynx?

Daffy – Its not the Lynx thats the problem here, it does what it was designed to do, its the Future Lynx that’ll be the problem. Great for the RN, sh!te for Teenie Weenie Airways.

Your point is, caller? 🙂

Not sure really….

Ryanair – bunch of ar$eholes (luggage allowed flying out, not allowed on the way back – size issues).
Starbucks – for closing Seattle Coffee Company.
McDonalds/Burger King/KFC – all the chavs would die starving.
Island – awful, vomit-inducing ads.
Barclays/Lloyds/etc – ain’t it obvious?

CARD SHOPS — THAT THE ONE IVE BEEN DREAMING ABOUT, LOST COUNT ON HOW MANY TIMES i HAVE BEEN DRAGGED ROUND THEM for cards for people I dont even know,,, blokey nightmare…

Honey Monster Foods, ruddy honey monster…

Next – for their sales 😉

Starbucks – for closing Seattle Coffee Company.

That’s why it was started by the founder. Her business plan was always to create a market so that one of the big ones from the US (Seattles Best, Tullys, Starbucks etc) would come and want to get an instant foot in the door.

Back on topic… estate agents.

EBAY
PAYPAL
CRC
WIGGLE
ANY **** THING TO DO WITH BIKES….OR THEIR SALES.

PC World
McDonalds
Every shortselling hedge fund in existence

Primark

If primark et all didn’t exist, then those 10 year old kids would have nothing, you heartless man.

Any place selling crap bikes

Currys/Comet/Overpricedwarrantiesareus etc

easyjet and ryanair for trying to convince us that paying the same money for no sevice is worth if because it’s a bargin and want to fight just to sit next to each other

peregrine, it would have been a waste of time ranting at the driver.. He wouldn’t have understood you! 😀

I’d like to see PC World disappear off the face of the planet.. Who needs a computer shop that sells exercise equipment!

Tiscali. The worst customer service in the world bar none. Fact. Aannnnd breath……

obviously nobody on here who’s had their own business fail then. Why would you wish for somebody else’s to go bust, witht eh associated job losses and pain. Selfish ****.

Don’t use ’em if you don’t want,

ActiveDuty, mine failed. Mainly because I was useless 🙂

Only British Gas.

The single worst organisation I’ve ever had the misfortune to have to deal with.

Sky TV and The **** S*n ‘news’paper…oh and HMV and chain pubs (Litten Tree etc…argh!) and also the entire financial and insurance industries, little more than extortion.

also, could I class war mongering governments as businesses?

To be honest, I hate most things except cycle industry, independent record shops/labels and local farm shops and stuff.

I’m a bitter, cynical old bastard, and I’m only young really!

Any company such as those advertised by Carol Vorderman, who appear to say if you are in debt, the best thing to do is go out and buy a brand new car so your neighbours admire you.

All the companies who advertise in the afternoon making old people feel guilty for not having pre-paid for thier funeral, as it makes them a burden on thier family. Always nice to be reminded you are old, worthless and will die soon. I dont understand why these sick adverts are ever permitted anyway.

Brighthouse… Yes we know you’re in debt, we don’t care.. You can have this 1000″ lcd tv for £5000 with easy payments at 900% apr…

The one that makes speed cameras would be a nice start to the new year!

Any company that is GREEDY!

It would appear in this day and age that it’s not what you do it’s how much dosh you make.

People don’t appear happy/content with making a product and selling it AKA Tesco, originally sold food, they are now in to everthing, greedy barstewards.

There will be a revolution before long. (according to my Grandad anyway, God rest his soul)

I sometimes worry what sort of world my 2 kids have in front of them.

Manchester United and Chelsea.

Also, any of those losers that make a tv programme just to show how rich they are…

Can’t see the problem with Tesco, if they beat the other retailers at their own game then I say well done.
