[Humour] Seriously, can 2020 get any worse?

[Herr Tubthumper]

I have just seen this terrifying new:

“Mike Ashley’s Frasers Group is considering a takeover of Mulberry”

Mike ****ing Ashley. He destroyed Lillywhites, now he’s coming for my man bags.

Mulberry isn't riding the crest of a wave it used to. Ashley seems to favour brands which are falling out of high fashion (Jack Wills being one) and snapping them up as they start to slide on the balance sheets.

A strong brand will always attract loyal 'lifetime followers' even if it's not seen as cutting edge any more, and that's what he sees the value in I think...

I deal in Bang & Olufsen. A brand which was once a household name and is now on its arse in the grand scheme of things. However, it has its die-hard followers from the good old days who would buy a dog turd if it has "B&O" stamped on it.

Never mind 2021 brings the promise of new beginnings, Vaccines and Brexit.

Lots to look forward to.

Sounds the type of thing Jim Ratcliffe would go for

Apparently we paid the EU 1bn of your finest British pounds to the EU as part of the trade settlement. Source: that commie leftist rag .... the Telegraph.

I thought we weren’t going to give the ******** a single penny. No deal?

You are right though. Vaccine, getting back in the Amex and no Trump.

Post number 7 and good old Mouldy is already trying to derail the thread into another Brexit binfest.

Get a life FFS man.

In answer to the thread, quite possibly. Although the green shoots of Trump losing and the current vaccine news at least give a nice bit if positivity to an otherwise horror of a year.

It appears that Xmas has started already with far too many decorations already up. So yes, it can get worse.

You sound like Wayne Rooney before a World Cup. I.e. a loser.

For the love of Christ, my beloved wallet might be morphed into a Chav Ashley.

Kick me whilst I’m down, why don’t you?

It's OK HT. Knocky's last phrase perfectly describes Apple customers. So as long as you aren't one of those, you're alright.
