Thousands of workers in the UK’s grocery distribution sector are facing a bleak Christmas as Palmer & Harvey (P&H), Britain’s biggest tobacco supplier, hovers on the brink of administration amid fading hopes of a last-ditch rescue deal.

Sky News has learnt that advisers to P&H, which employs approximately 4,000 people, are braced for the company to collapse after weeks of takeover talks with the private equity firm Carlyle failed to result in a deal.

The cost of a box of 20 down here is over £10 for some brands. I still see plenty of people smoking and breaking the law, no smoking at bus stops but don't tell them that you get a mouth full of smoke and strong language.

Sounds like a potential job for Uber and Lyft. Drivers can keep a carton or two as payment. :D
