Asda at it again

Following on from an earlier post (below)where Asda had a model D4 being recovered seems they are at it again.

https://www.freel2.com/forum/topic29872.html

Now I find this in my local store, an Ewok with the bonnet up!



And it's not just one seems all the models there are the same.



Tried closing the bonnet but didn't seem to want to shut - I think someone in the toy buying dept at Asda must have had some bad experience with LRs.

There is a update. Wife number 2 is now going into the office tomorrow (was a day booked working from home). Not a good day for some of the youngsters Big Cry

I am an old type union man and this corporate Censored Censored me right off.

Just seen the locals news about the job cuts, shocking. Perhaps they should have thought long and hard about all the money they spent trying to be American. I see that their head office is now called 'Home Office' and their staff are all colleagues, and the list goes on. Updated- Waiting for a Scotland v England 6 Nations home win. 24th Feb 2018

Yep my Mrs is part of the furniture after all these years but it hurts her to see really good professional staff shafted for one family to get even richer (they still own most of the company). Mrs Yorky has been culled in the past and took a lesser job due to her age , her choice but it makes my blood boil as she is extremely well qualified and would be paid far more now if she was still in her original profession.

A few years ago a friend of my Mrs was shafted as she was a threat to the next level. Within a year that person was head of a department in the USA for a firm much bigger than Walmart and one product range we all know in UK. A set of Censored Censored . FL2 MY10 TD4 GS traded in at 2 years
