Thank you@RobinCourtHomes for your shoplocal support. Let's hope Hitchin shoppers rally round their town. 'Why go anywhere else'?

Does anyone have any different ideas for the HAWKINS Santa arrival this year? Sunday 18th 2.00pm. #HitchinFireBrigade are always brilliant

As prices tumble due to heavy discounting our focus is value to customers 'Price is what you pay, value is what you get' (Warren Buffet).

Without money through the tills we can't pay our staff, suppliers etc. I fear the downturn will have a huge impact on employment next year.

Is there any solution to this global economic crisis? Does #SteveKeen have the answer? #Hardtalk 25/11 on bbciplayer - bankrupt the banks!

What sort of world have we built in which people are pepper-sprayed for a discounted games console? A truly #BlackFriday for humanity

If the high street retail model is a dinosaur can #Hitchin evolve quickly enough? Retail evolution is happening fast - it is a revolution

So Osborne reckons growth will slow. He'll discover in March we're in another recession. Ask my staff - they're realists

Did you know in #Hitchin you can pay for (and top up) your car parking by phone while you shop? We retailers should be helping promote this

1 of our concession managers has been transferred to a Bedford branch. Came back visiting today. Reminded her what a GREAT town #Hitchin is

Thank you everyone for helping make our Mega-weekend so brilliant. It was so good decided to have another this weekend. Come and have a look

Just been talking to businesses in WGC. Redundancies looming. For heaven's sake Osborne, get some money circulating in the economy again!

@Hilsax up until 3 months ago I didn't even know what they were. Now we even have them in our windows -have you tried them? Are they OK?

Open today Customer quote.'Went to London Thursday and I've already bought more in Hitchin than I did all day' We say why go anywhere else?

28 recommendations from #maryportas High Street report. How is the retail overhead burden and parking addressed? Or did I miss something?

@RadcliffeArms - Thank you so much. Have a great Christmas!!

A beautiful new unit? hmm. Farewell Peacocks? List of businesses teetering scares me. No shops,= no jobs = no money = no shops = no jobs....

Starting our mega stock take clearance weekend with another power cut! As if things aren't challenging enough! ok now. Bargains in all depts

HI AGM this evening. 'Value is so much more than the price of the goods we buy. We need to value the place and the people' Thank you Hitchin

@CandyHerts - certainly worth a chat - would you like to pop details in an email [email protected]
