Supermarkets are still making their huge profits.
To do this they are paying less to their suppliers, who in turn are having to use cheaper products.
Everything is now manufactured down to a price rather than up to a level of quality. This has lead to a drop of approx 30% of our sales.
So who is suffering?

My job should be safe but Mike's is looking increasingly shaky (at an independent newsagent) and at his age - 70 today - he's not likely to get another.
I was hoping only to work another couple of years after hitting 60 but I guess I'll just have to keep on keeping on - I do appreciate how lucky I am to have that option even if it's becoming increasingly harder to do it.

The tragedy of old age is not that one is old, but that one is young.
