So as predicted the economic crisis has hit my local area and all attention has turned to the hardship caused to small business. Its been a simply disastrous start to the week…..

Our bra manufacturer has gone bust.The specialist in submersibles has gone under.A dog kennel has had to call in the retrievers.The suppliers of paper for origami enthusiasts has folded.The Heinz factory has been canned as they couldn’t ketchup with orders.A tarmac laying company has reached the end of the road.The manufacturer of food blenders has gone into liquidation.The local bakers has run out of dough.The clock manufacturer has had to wind down.The shoe shop has had to put his foot down and given his staff the boot.The local computer repair shop is suffering from virus issues.The Undertaker lost the plot.The tyre shop business went flat.The fencing contractor got posted out of town.And the launderette has been taken to the cleaners!
