Having recently lost my job, I have found myself with more free time on my hands.

On Monday I walked into the town centre to while away a couple of hours window shopping.

I was alarmed to see that Wheelhouse is closing down, both Madhouse shops are shutting for good, Card Warehouse has gone and Tchibo is closing. Soon no one will have a job.
