Way back in January, Diamond Geezer asked his readers to list the companies that they thought would go into administration in 2009. He called it “The High Street Death List“.

Being a cynical bastard, of course I had to have a go – and chose Borders, the bookshop. I see bookshops (or at least the big chains) dying out in the same way that music stores have done, high-street bricks-and-mortar business premises always costing infinitely more than a warehouse in the arse-end of nowhere.

And lo, today Borders have announced that they’ve gone into administration.

I haven’t had the confirmation from DG yet, but it’s currently looking like my choice is the first to fall on the Death List.
