An old golfer comes in from a round of golf at a new course and heads into the grill room. As he passes through the swinging doors he sees a sign hanging over the bar: COLD BEER: $2.00 HAMBURGER: $2.25 CHEESEBURGER: $2.50 CHICKEN SANDWICH $3.50 HAND JOB : $50.00 Checking his wallet to be sure he has the necessary payment, the old golfer walks up to the bar and beckons to the exceptionally attractive female bartender who is serving drinks to a couple of sun-wrinkled golfers. She glides down behind the bar to the old golfer. "Yes?" she inquires with a wide, knowing smile, "May I help you?" The old golfer leans over the bar and whispers, "I was wondering, young lady," he whispers, "are you the one who gives the hand-jobs?" She looks into his eyes with that wide smile and purrs "Yes Sir , I sure am." The old golfer leans closer and into her left ear and says softly, "Well, wash your hands real f#@*&$% good because I want a cheeseburger."

It has been confirmed that Netto Bedlington was one of the 47 stores that ASDA is required to sell. Morrisons has confirmed that it has conditionally purchased the store (one of 16 it has paid £28.1 mln for. http://investing.thi...tory_id=3966560 I would expect that Morrisons will significantly increase the numbers of staff. In similar sized stores (about 7500 sq ft) it usually has about 100 staff so about 60/70 is possible. Incidently the Safeway store in Bedlington did not have to be sold, Morrisons sold it as it then considered it too small for the Morrisons format. The current management have different ideas and intend to open more similar stores (and some even smaller like Tesco Express/Sainsburys Local)
