MikeW45 - very likely dead wood cast aside - but you cannot suggest that as it then loses its spin potential for SE0 ;-) LOL

(Adds CEO statement, confirmation on number of job losses)
LONDON (AFX) - Britain's second biggest grocer Asda, a unit of US giant Wal-Mart Stores Inc, is to axe 1,400 jobs in an attempt to boost earnings after it lost customers to market leader Tesco PLC.
The company said it will plough the money saved from eliminating around 200 head office jobs, and a further 1,200 managerial roles within its stores, into lower prices.
'While our sales have slowed in recent months as the economy's tightened, Asda is no retail straggler,' chief executive Andy Bond said in a statement.
'But I'm simply not satisfied with this year's average performance - our natural home is outperformance -- and today's changes put in place the teams ...that will re-ignite our business over the next 12-18 months.'
