Uk hotel pretty uninspiring

[bountyhunter] 16/1/2025 12:08

There's always the afternoon I suppose!

[hopefulalways] 16/1/2025 12:05

So that was short lived!

[tlobs2] 16/1/2025 08:07

• UK F&B sales continue to perform in line with our expectations and previous guidance

🤞. Hopefully not to much talk of a tough trading environment.

[bountyhunter] 15/1/2025 18:51

Hopefully today Is a good indicator of what's to come!

[battlebus2] 15/1/2025 18:47

Good luck all for tomorrow.

[battlebus2] 13/1/2025 19:54

Update on the 16th. Still holding and likely will unless there’s something nasty in the update. 🤞

[battlebus2] 12/1/2025 21:16

Absolutely insane.

6 months in government, and the city reaction & individuals reaction shows that they really do not have a clue.

They will tax us every time we change our underwear soon

Reeves eyeing up 'hotel tax' to boost UK coffers as holidaymakers face increased prices


Treasury officials have conducted modelling exercises to assess the impact of such a tax, which would apply to both British and foreign guests.

The move has come in spite of Reeves' earlier insistence that she would not add to the £40billion of tax rises already imposed in the autumn Budget.

Well if you notice there was a gargantuan Director share sale in GRG last October, from memory.

A couple of WTB directors have alao sold chunky amounts last year. See what they have to say.

[battlebus2] 10/1/2025 17:44

You’re probably right to do so. Greggs as an example so if there’s anything negative in the update it’s down we go. May follow you on Monday.

[philanderer] 10/1/2025 17:16

Anything updating this past week has been hammered.

I've sold all my WTB before next week's news.

Please heed the bit in the post that states ........As always, do your own research before making any investment decisions......before you even think about investing

[sumday] 03/1/2025 21:37

@Lennon. Those issues have been going on since Covid at least.

[battlebus2] 03/1/2025 21:31

They definitely sold out of all rooms in a lot of cities over Christmas. I was checking daily on prices and availability so I think it’s been atleast an ok period. Lots of rooms now for £45 and over the next few weeks. The weather won’t help if it snows.

[bountyhunter] 03/1/2025 20:16

Hopefully sold out over Christmas & New Year requiring some restocking! Anyway they are progressively replacing restaurants with extra rooms which seems like a good plan to me to increase revenues.

[battlebus2] 03/1/2025 20:09

True. It’s a ding ding menu.

[lennonsalive] 03/1/2025 20:06

An observation is that most of the people who use the restaurants are pensioners who like quite plain food. Where as the younger generation use waga, yo, Nando's etc
