I'm expecting that to be the first of many. The new social distancing measures are going to massively impact pubs, restaurants, theatres and cinemas  noooo:

Arrivederci   rubschin:
It's sad and hopefully a substantial % survive but there were already too many restaurants here and those two chains were still offering the same proposition with formulaic layouts they'd been offering 20 years before.  It was good grub but we can get good grub at home or from the chippy

And that's what's going to happen, prices will rise, trade will slow and we are looking full square at a deep recession across all the developed countries.  It's a mess.

If the news about China's economy is anywhere near accurate we haven't seen anything yet.  noooo:

Looks like Wilko is going to be the next domino to fall..  noooo:

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12368943/High-Street-retailer-Wilko-brink-collapse-thousands-jobs-400-shops-risk-firm-signals-risk-insolvency-proceedings.html

 noooo:
noooo: noooo:

It's all a bit sad but Wilko has no real identity other than being a 21st century Woolworths and look what happened to them.  They're lost between the Pound Shops, Interweb sellers and the more focussed shops.  They were (well for a few hours are) the only bricks and mortar shop that still sells decent 3 ply  Kleenex:.
