Do other chains have same issue in london? I know that wetherspoons had same menus and prices as rest of uk last time i visited, presumably higher rents are taken care of by higher volumes, which is why oher chains operate in london

Agreed CR. More shops fitted out, pizzas (not exactly healthy though!), coffee and their breakfast menu should all help. Not much news on their Ireland business or did I miss it?

He added: “With the shop refurbishment programme continuing to progress well and new additions to the product range including pizza slices, we are confident of delivering a year of good growth slightly ahead of our previous expectations.”



On Greggs’ earnings call today, CEO Roger Whiteside said Greggs was being forced out of the city, according to The Evening Standard:

The food chain has only a handful of stores in central London but chief executive Roger Whiteside said he would not open new sites at any cost.

He said: “London’s going strong but we’ve still got a problem in zones 1 and 2 because we simply can’t afford those rents and keep our prices low. I can’t see that changing anytime soon.”

Still, Greggs is making tons of money whether or not it can afford to open up in central London. Sales in the first six months of 2015 rose 6.4% to £398 million ($US623 million); pre-tax profits went up £6.2 million ($US9.7 million) to £25.6 million ($US40 million).

LOL, if I was Cameron I would be more concerned about the number of loonies running loose in this country who should be locked up in padded cells. Mikey is a classic example.

Overweight people who refuse to lose weight could see their benefits worth around £100 a week cut or suspended, David Cameron will announce.

“We must look at what we do when people simply say no thanks and refuse that help but expect taxpayers to carry on funding their benefits,” he will tell reporters during a trade visit to Singapore.

The aim of the policy will be to make sure more people seek treatment, the PM, who was described by one newspaper as “portly” when he was pictured topless on a Cornwall beach two years ago, will say.

He will add: “Over the next five years I want to see many more people coming off sick benefit and into work,” according to The Telegraph.

Talking of TBM, what is the TERN share price Mikey? I seem to remember you camped out on that thread for months earlier this year predicting that TERN was going back down to 2p.

[doodlebug4] 29/7/2015 16:58

LOL short memory Mikey. I remember you ramping ZOO for months on Sharecrazy when you posted as Slater and various other usernames and that was over 10 years ago. Another disaster of yours - the list is endless.
