Sober Lane to honour HMV vouchers

Trend Setter in Training

Just seen there that Sober Lane will honour any HMV vouchers for lunch during the week - a nice touch.

Also if a deal is done for HMV and new owners decide to honour past vouchers they stand to make a killing... ha ha

That reminds me - not had a pizza and pitcher in ages.

Wouldn't it be better if they gave the free lunch to all the staff who are now unemployed and looking like they won't get paid what they're owed?

I think it's a nice thoughtful gesture, but some people are out 20 quid and others are out of income. I think it would be a better show of goodwill (and generate more publicity, no doubt) if they also extended the offer to staff.

I say good for Sober Lane! I think it's a really nice gesture. I wonder were the staff of HMV in a trade union - I really hope so for their sake. In these times, it's more important than ever before to have that extra security blanket of Union Membership - it breaks down to the fact that if anything happens in the work place - then it's huge legal bills vs. your monthly/fortnightly Union membership.

The Sober Lane team seem to be a lot more socially conscience than others. Again -well done to them!!!

nothing better to help you get over your inability to buy the latest One Direction album than tucking into some nice horse burger.

If I had the chance I'd buy HMV vouchers at 10% of the value in the UK. I think the pressure for them to accept them is only going to grow. Don't think we'll ever see them reopen here.

Nice gesture by sober lane but if I had a voucher I'd be holding out and not using it to buy a pizza! As nice as their pizzas are, some people have vouchers for large amounts!

The owner of Sober Lane/Electric was on RedFM saying they threw the HMV staff a Christmas party of sorts the other night.

if you have a voucher for a €5/10 its a good deal, he also said on 96fm if its a €50 voucher he's sort something out, so he's not going to take the piss...

Great gesture, I booked a holiday with Skytours in Dublin yesterday and they asked if I had HMV vouchers which they are accepting! I thought this was a great idea.. Fair play to the Irish for looking after their own!
