Nope, the shops will remain shut, the board have resigned this evening and
staff are being laid off. It's taken a while but it's been on the cards for a long time. "andy" wrote in message ... http://www.channelregister.co.uk/200...me_shops_shut/ Only a temporary thing, apparently, damn!

Only a temporary thing, apparently, damn! Odd. Why would their whole chain have a "problem"? Surely each shop has its own swipe machine & connection?

Just been on the news that they're almost bancrupt - so maybe a little more permanent than a few days closure. I'm sure the 1200 or so soon-to-be redundant employees thought 'damn' too....

It is sad for the staff, I had just left work with Tiny when they went under, so had mates who lost their jobs. Just no sympathy for the company themselves, selling the same old rubbish. Andy
