Don't know what your favourite add is this Christmas but this link provides most of them and I like the COOP one with the two kids rendition of "Round Are Way", its all about community and sharing and its quite touching and good for the COOP its been well thought out to leave an impression.

There is some hypocrisy...Andrew Stevenson7 Dec 2020 8:29PMSo chlorinated chicken lethal to human beings, but lettuce and greens washed in a chlorinated solution absolutely fine (UK supermarkets).

DEBENHAMS potential bid is Mike Ashley's last play according to the BBC as the administrators must protect creditors and it may be the case the process has to continue to sell all the stock then close all the shops down.



Its a 50/50 bet at the moment but as more days go on there is less chance Mike Ashley will save the group as more and more stock will be gone.

Kingfisher the latest retailer to hand back business rates relief as its sales boomed over 12% due to lockdown



Marks is still refusing to hand back business rates but it wont go down well with the public as presumably their food only stores relief is being kept.

[debsdowner] 07/12/2020 08:49

For every day that expires Mike Ashley will have less stock in the stores as the administrators will want the cash for creditors so if a deal isn't done quickly he will walk away.

Those cheap jeans are recycled cloth down to the bone...

[debsdowner] 06/12/2020 13:18

One would have sought so but bricks and mortar increases overheads and its probably the elderly more inclined to shop in stores but even the elderly the next generation who are more adaptable to tech now and if they are not they are in residential care and just wearing up what they have got.

So nothing is certain at the moment.

Food mostly.A new farming policyBy JOHNREDWOOD | Published: DECEMBER 5, 2020One of the big wins from Brexit should be a new farming policy. The Common Agricultural Policy has not been kind to UK farmers. Market share in temperate food products has shrunk badly during our time in the EU, whilst cheaper products from non EU sources have been kept out by tariffs. We have developed a huge balance of trade deficit with the EU in food.The government always responds positively when I raise the issue of how we can follow a farming policy from the 1Janaury that gives more help to UK producers, and encourages more domestic production. The government has promised to maintain current overall subsidy levels this Parliament once we are out of the EU, but to gradually redirect them. Large scale profitable farmers will enjoy less subsidy for producing food. More subsidy will go for environmental goods including the promotion of more natural landscapes.The government will take advantage of our new freedoms to raise animal welfare standards. It is currently consulting on banning the export of live animals, and banning the transport of live animals through the UK by overseas interests. That is welcome.I would like to see more definition of the schemes available from 1 January to offer support to farmers keen to expand their food production. Market gardeners wishing to whittle away the huge deficit on vegetables, temperate fruits and salad items need to loan and grant schemes to put in the extra covered areas to boost output. As stated before, the fishing industry needs loan and grant schemes to increase our fleet capacity to land our fish. Dairy and meat producers also may need help with mechanising and improving output.Our competitors use these methods to gain market share. The government has promised us more of a response, so bring it on.

Debenhams demise to benefit M&S surely.

Where else do the middle-aged and middle class go now for shirts and blouses other than M&S?

Plus the charge in MKS shares is starting at near 30-year lows.

I smell a Christmas rally..
