Endicotts to close

[littlebiglane]

Just went onto the Endicott's website today. Very sad. It looks like they are closing down

This is a real shame. One of the best and last true Army Surplus Stores. I am sure Kev is gutted.

Harsh and totally unfair.

Great shop, great service.

Disgusting is my view on the matter.

This is sad...if it's true. Is it possibly an April Fool? Closing down because an EU directive says that ex-military ponchos must be stored in watertight bags?

If it's true, my apologies for doubting the sincerity of the comments.

If it is true I am hot-footing it down there to buy as much stock as possible.

What will the EU think of next? All small businesses that have been going since WW2 to be closed down because they are past there 'sell by date'?

 

[Humpback]

Get a grip. Look at the calendar.

Is it possibly an April Fool?

Can anyone else smell coffee?

Come on guys wake up!

Hi Guy's
I have just trawled through the endicotts website and found this on one of their pages "ANOTHER NOTE !! We have some VERY INTERESTING news for you (probably around Tuesday morning (!) so do check back to see whats happening !! "

I wonder what the interesting new's could be???

Mine's black with two sugars please.

I wonder how long the financial budgeting committee has had powers to declare storage methods of goods internationally...

I was quite sad until I started to read the "closing down details" page.

Clever bit of attention getting.

Had a look on his site, the guy seems to be a bit of a joker, and it's the 1st April.........hum.... Good publicity anyway!

I like that bit: ENDICOTTS = MUST CLOSE 2 E=MC2 with a picture of a look alike Einstein!

 

[Dougster]

That'll teach me to post before my morning coffee, and get me in there.

 

[Nagual]

Aye, quite clever. I wonder how many people are trying to buy up the 'last' of their stock.. Well as advertising goes, it certainly worked! We're all talking about it, even though it's been rumbled! Good for them.

looks a good wee site, any ideas why the mum doesnt have a price

 

[leon-1]

Just seen this, must admit Kev had me going for a minute. God if it had been real then that would truly have been a tragedy.

 

[Matt.S]

HAHA had me going for a sec... those are some very suspiciously accurate price increases though...

 

[SimonM]

Just had an e-mail from Kev, with a link to his new news section. It seems some of us have been quoted!

Excellent marketing idea, 5 days on and still pushing it!
