But I've worked at a struggling company before, and the directors are generally panicking as much as everyone else and trying desperately to scrounge together every last penny to try and keep things afloat. Not that I'm justifying their behaviour, but I'm not all that surprised. I read that, C&B, and I can see why the lad is so pissed off.

I could, and perhaps should, make either a post or podcast based entirely on the tunes Fopp brought into my life.

Browsing the aisles at Fopp has been the highlight of just about every trip into the centre of Manchester for the past two or three years and usually the reason to go into town in the first place.

Desperately hope that some of the stores will re-open, both as a former employee, but more importantly, as a regular, faithful customer. Gutted, gutted, gutted.
