Pizza Express on verge of collapse

[allblackcitizen]

Erm, no, we spend £15-20 on a meal out at most? Wine? Haha yeah fucking right.

And why would any of that make me moody as a child?

Well, you said you had drinks and wine is a fairly standard tipple in most restaurants. What did you have? Cocktails?

What kind of heirechial muffins allowed each chain to run up equivilant debts of 1.6 million and then through out it's debt spiral did the square root of fook all to halt it's fall. Any cabbage with or without an Ology or degree in business studies could have looked deeper at the model.and made the nessasary adjustments earlier to tickle the auntie back into profitability or even force closure with less catasrophic losses.Start ups inevitably lose money in the early years but this was a well established outfit trading for well over half a century ..These chinese conglomerats seem to have habit recently of buying pups. A great shame for the foot soldiers but overpriced in a saturated market.

Mr Bob, I am no business expert but I think the answer lies in the fact that the Chinese have huge amounts of money and little to do with it other than speculate. Look at the transfer deals some of the Chinese football clubs are doing, the sums don't really add up. They, Hony Capital paid 900 million quid for the chain a few years back, to me and you that is a fortune and more, to them, probably very little.

Must be expensive in Manchester! A chip shop visit costs us £3.20!

We just refuse to spend crazy money on food.

Scratchings on a roll/bap/barm isn't a chip shop meal though.

Last of the big spenders. You wouldn't get much change from £15 after cod, chips & mushy peas twice and two cans of Vimto from Armstrong's chippy.

I like PE but most of the time I go there we've either got a '2 main courses for the price of 1' offer or use my daughter's Taste card, which probably explains why they're struggling.

What ?? With peas ??

Should have used more egg in the dough.

If it was Domino's, it will only take one of the shops to go & the rest will fall soon after.

I love pizza. This is the last thing I knead right now.

There was a cook at a Pizza Express down here with brown hands.

I guess he kneaded a poo.
