    cant belive a major household name has gone pop

    worked there, bought cars and had them serviced there, not the cheapest but did a good job


    anyone think we're talking a new housing development on wakey rd now? and we think the traffics bad now!

    Possibly

    Apparantly the administrator did not offer27 of the sites (including Barnsley) to Evans Halshaw who bought the remainder (or so claimed a representative of AH in a radio dee dah interview)

    so if Spartacus is correct the admin people didn't even try to save the other sites? how unfair to the poor people now out of work is that...surely they have a legal requirment to at least attempt to sell on?

    The legal requirement is to get as much money for the people who Dixons had debts with (these include the people who have paid deposits on cars, etc). If a site is worth more for housing then unfortunately it's what they have to do.
