I just thought that i'd post this up as it was in today's paper, and well i actually read something more than just the sports section.
This was in the "Metro" free paper that i get on the way to work.
" Fantasy games retailer Games Workshop is to close 35 stores after issuing its second profits warning of the year. About 280 staff - ten per cent of its work force will lose their jobs. It said a fall in sales was the "hangover" following the boom at the time of The Lord Of the Rings Films."
Again yet another reason to hate Lord of the rings!
I also have it from a good source that this will be news to a lot of the uk managers but some continental managers got told before the more informed of the UK managers. Apparently GW is seeing a decline of sales in both Germany and France so not all the losses will be in the UK.
Well all i can say is "NO SHIT" the sales are falling. The prices are to bloody high! Well we'll see what happens in the coming weeks and months.
