Job loss a serious threat for Monocle manufacturers

Bleak economic news again as McWhitthins & Sons of Berkhamstead become the latest potential victims of the economic crisis.

McWhittins have been making fine crafted monocles for over three centuries and despite the fact that their sole remaining customer is Lord Mesmo, are desperate to keep on their staff of 2,500.

“It is essential that we receive government support now!” said their Chairman Lord ‘Rusty’ McWhittin, adding “I know that people say we are not relevant to today’s society and are an overstaffed, inefficient dinosaur, but then how can they justify not bailing us out when the Car industry are getting billions?”

Lord Mesmo will be giving the matter his own personal attention at a golf lunch & champagne jamboree with top economists and the Directors the major high street banks.
