liking a red wine though not McWilliams, in conversation with wine retailers (plural), they bemoaned the appearance of new brands, no provenance, jokey labels, aimed at the hipster market. Brand and margin destruction, by McWilliams. Last throw of the dice, was the impression I got.On a similar theme I was told McWilliams Wines recently went into administration even after a capital raising last year. .. Non-drinker so at that level it's of no interest to me.
Yes , in administration indeedOn a similar theme I was told McWilliams Wines recently went into administration even after a capital raising last year. I haven't checked if it is true or not. Non-drinker so at that level it's of no interest to me.
On further reading, Jeans West is an Aussie original, that is now Hong Kong owned.On the same theme, Jeans west has gone into administration.

I would think shopping centres, will suffer from the online sedentary lifestyle choices, that seem to be engulfing the World.I haven't heard whether rents have dropped at commercial, shopping sites. Anyone heard of such? I have baled out of Scentre (SCG) a while ago thinking Shopping centres might suffer. An unjustified fear it would seem as their price has held quite stable.
I admire your mates integrity. Many could dismiss that job as being unworthy of their commitment. He is fine example of integrity to society. While he remains in that position I truly hope he is an inspiration of integrity and a commentator of the importance of their role to his co-workers.My mate rang me tonight, he is a 64 year old who works on the council verge collection, well he is beside himself with despair.
He takes the job seriously, never takes a sickie unless he is really crook always tries to fit in, to get the job done.
Well he reckons the job is going to $hit, because all the younger workers just walk off the job when it gets hard and say they have family issues. The problem is the job doesn't go away, it just gets further behind, he says they are already one week behind and they are only two weeks into the new year.
The problem is, all that will happen is the council rates will increase and the work output will decrease.
It really is all becoming a problem, will it end?
He is so fed up with the younger guys being lazy, he is going to pull the pin, when he wanted to work untill 67.
Australia has lost the plot. IMO

The plot is lost because employers discriminate against people like your mate in favour of
younger workers simply because of their age whilst overlooking their commitment.
I'll sum up my own spending there by saying that until I saw your post I'd completely forgotten that BD even exist.To hear the issue is more widespread seems to indicate that people are not spending those dollars on more 'upmarket' produce here in the west.
Is this the case with Bakers Delight over east?
This seems to be a problem going through many work areas at the moment, experienced staff leaving, inexperienced supervisors coming in sometimes from completely different areas, then trying to re invent the wheel and generally stuffing up and adding costs.A friend working for one of the big four banks had the retrenchment broom come through middle of last year, he escaped the broom but many older employees didn't (he's in his early 40s) and were replaced mostly by under 30s. He is gradually been driven crazy by other employees incompetence, he has to fix their errors constantly, he is called even on his days off to answer inane questions from his coworkers. He has started looking around for another job but as he has spent almost all his working life in banks he will probably only be able to get a job (well paying) in another bank, which could very well have the same inexperienced staff problems.
