Borders goes into administration
Widely predicted, now official.
I know they weren't a wide-ranging CD/DVD seller, but that soon may be another place on the UK High Street you can't browse. Another place not selling magazines, either...
They closed down here in Dublin about 2 months ago, they had to lock people out of the store due to the huge queue's, all getting the stuff at 50-75% discount......
Great shop for mags and books, however i always found their cd/blu-rays quite expensive...............
Shame. I quite liked Borders stores. It's never a good time to be losing one's job, but so close to Xmas it really ain't nice, feeling sorry for all those Borders employees.
I believe they were also known for selling books 
Note for overseas readers too lazy to click: that's Borders in the UK, not worldwide.
No doubt the stores will be mobbed tomorrow a la woolies. The vultures circle.
Looks like HMV have a virtual monopoly on the High street now with music and movies as W H Smiths seem to be slowly moving out of that market.
In a year thats Woolworth,Zavvi and possibly now Borders gone.
