Dixons gone under?
Heard on the news tonight Dixons motors have ceased trading today - staff turned up for work this morning to be told they had 2 mins to get their stuff and don't know if they'll be getting their wages???????
Wonder what will happen to all the customers expecting to collect their new cars?

Comment from dixons ex-employee - "a bit of metal you can do without".
If that was the sort of attitude they had to their customers vehicles no wonder they've gone under

You are right Robby, it was mentioned on the news last week that they were going into administration and that it was possible a buyer could be found - last nights Look North was about a buyer had been found for some of the branches but the others were to remain closed.
So it wasn't just 'last weeks' news at all, certainly not to the employees who were waiting to see if they still had jobs.

I hope the hard working, honest employees from there go on to better things. I hope those that directly led to the companies demise through poor management and poor service dont.

Indeed but it was a good excuse to use my favourite line!
