Toy Story Terror in Town

Forget Buzz and Woody,  as there is a terrible Toy Story in our own town. Since BHS shut down many toys have been left trapped in the windows of Huddersfield High Street. 

Sylvanian families are still searching for a home and those Playmobile pirate ships won’t be setting sail anytime soon.  Meanwhile former BHS boss Sir Philip Green is sat on his private yacht enjoying himself in the sun.

The stock has been stuck behind a glass screen for the last few months and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future.  Many people walk by each day without even noticing their plight.

They have been abandoned to nobody’s amusement. Those bears don’t stand a chance. They have families to feed too you know.  It’s a sorry state of affairs. Maybe Pixar should be taking plot points for Toy Story 4.

BHS staff continue to suffer from the fallout. They have been promised their pension fund, but so far the money has remained elusive. The staff find themselves stuck in limbo like the little plastic people they used to sell.

It appears as though Sir Philip is in no rush to finance some funds for his ex-employees. Who can blame him when a refurbished yacht is on the horizon?

While all this is going on the collection of Cluedo boxes continue to gather dust. You don’t need to be Sherlock Holmes to realize that a shortfall in cash and sitting on a bunch of stock that needs shifting can be easily solved in one swift action.

Ebay.

Yet as things stand the stock situation remains in a stalemate.  They could just use an online retailer, but that is out of the equation. After all that would require an inch of effort.

One day the bears of the Sylvanian families might find some solace, but for the time being they will continue to stare out of the windows of Huddersfield’s High Street.
