    Anon. I'm sorry to hear that you haven't been kept informed. I presume that it is the responsibility of Deloitte to inform staff in the shops that have been bought by EBF what their situation is.

    Does anyone know what is happening with the "flagship" store in Battersea?

    It has not appeared on either the Christie & Co. list or EFB list...

    Cant see these adding much to the uk wine scene. They seem to have taken mostly the smallest, convenience style stores and ignored the big turnover, large scale stores such as holborn, farringdon, battersea, notting hill gate, fulham etc

    Jim, thanks for keeping us in the loop. I wonder when we would have been told anything by anyone else.

    I don't suppose you know how long Deloittes Wine is going to last for do you? We've yet to hear anything.
    I'm half expecting new padlocks to welcome us every morning.

    Thanks for your comments anons. I'm afraid I don't know what will happen to those stores not in the 37 bought.

    Pleased that you have found my post on Oddbins useful and hope you will all find gainful employment soon.

    Anon. Thanks for your comment. It shows the remarkable power that the internet in breaking news and keeping people informed.

    I'm delighted that I was able to keep you informed but I could have done this without information being sent to me and I'm very grateful to those who did.

    When I set up www.investdrinks.org back in 2000 I was astonished by the amount of information that people provided me with. I continue to be astonished and this sharing is what makes the net so powerful.

    Ever so helpful Jim, all the way through...
    shame it's come to this trashy ending.
    I speak of experience when I say it's been the bloody longest 2 month on oddbinites record! 120 gone in April, H.O. staff crumbling away, 4 of us gone last week...
    Now 37 saved, 48 hanging in the balance, hoping for the best, what to say? really?

    Why the prestige oddjewels where ignored?

    Are Baile/Young liable at all for this sham?

    Please Jim, don't give up, dig in, look for the answers that might clarify some of our questions, a bit of a challenge for our favourite blogger?

    Je vous mets au test, monsieur! Cette mission, si vous l'acceptez, vous gratifiera de l'immense maceration de la planete Odd...
