Spudulike closes all 37 outlets as high street downturn continues

[AtW]

The baked potato specialist Spudulike has closed all 37 of its branches with the loss of nearly 300 jobs, the latest in a growing list of once-familiar retail names to disappear from the high street.

Founded in 1974, the chain was popular in the 1980s and 1990s and became synonymous with the Harry Enfield and Kathy Burke creations Wayne and Waynetta Slob, who named their second child Spudulika.

The late Victoria Wood famously questioned whether the correct pronunciation for the chain was “spu-doo-lickay”.

Heathen.

You aren't cooking them properly, or adding the right extras.
