Give us another clue as there must be tens of thousands of businesses struggling at the moment, and I don't have the rest of my life to go through them one at a time.

So Initial have lost another one, I know they lost M & S a short while ago.
They almost lost Debenhams down here in December (I do a Debenhams for them) but kept it by slashing the price.
Unless of course they have had me over a treat  ::)

Comets is that a good contract then,wouldn`t want any like that you would always be looking over your shoulder for the undercutters.

Hence the reason for the continous sale signs and up to 50% off and bogofs advertised on the local one. looking from the side of the "employer" though, if your staff were not fully utilised, which obviously they aren't at the moment wouldn't you get them to do the cleaning? :)
