Merry Christmas - you're sacked.

A parcel company in the UK has gone into receivership, telling staff on Christmas Day there's no job to come back to.

Two and a half thousand people employed by City Link learned their fate through the media.

And other businesses who'd been dealing with the firm have also lost out.

"We only found out yesterday on the news what happened.

"We're owed 294,000 pounds. I've just spoken to the administrators and they said you'd be lucky to see a penny back in the pound."
