A growing list of major stores have announced discounts of 50 per cent or more in sales to start as early as 7am on Christmas Eve.

They might as well stand out on the streets and give it all away it's not going to help one bit when the new year comes in.
Another 15 large stores they say will go into liquidation in the next few weeks,
they won't say who yet, Tesco's supermarkets are now saying they are under threat from cheaper shops AR! shame! when only a few weeks ago they were saying they made big profits!
Things are going to get tougher i feel.
