''It is with great regret that we announce the closure of Fopp. Our store chain is profitable, well regarded and loved by our loyal customers and staff. However we have failed to gain the necessary support from major stakeholders, suppliers and their credit insurers to generate sufficient working capital to run our expanding business. We would like to thank staff and customers for their support over the past 25 years. Any outstanding website orders have now been cancelled and will not be fulfilled or charged.'' Sad indeed, I bet HMV and Virgin are laughing [and quickly raising prices after trying to compete with Fopp].

There are I'm sure stories from all over of market stalls expanded into shops - good shops and then expanded just too far to be able to come back from the brink of ruin - Andys Records was a likewise endeavour. Try buying music in HMV these days seems everything but.......and i hate Virgin altho the staff in Ipswich are always enthusiastic about tunes. > as in the cd shops?? gone bust?? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ **************Bunnymen Online Presence******************** ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ http://www.bunnymenlist.com * http://www.bunnymen.info http://www.bunnymen.com * http://www.fotolog.net/sgtfuzz/ http://www.villiersterrace.com/ * http://www.angelfire.com/wy2/discog/ http://homepage.ntlworld.com/stevedoughty/index.html ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ * ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 1 Jul 2007 23:08:29 +0100 From: "Shaz" Subject: seven-seas Re: [villiers-terrace] SAD DAY our nearest town now only has Woolworths to buy cds - crap......... but with all the kids sending each other tunes for nothing and people downloading from the net it was bound to happen..... I love downloading stuff (which I pay for because I am against 'stealing' it) but when I go shopping I like to browse in the cd shops and buy from them (if the prices aren't too high compared to the net) but I think the shopping for music days are numbered :-( and it's a bit like losing a piece of my past youth but if you talk to the kids about not downloading music for free and the fact that the music shops are disappearing they really don't care.......they have their own 'scene' and buying music isn't part of it....
