I agree about your comments on bars on the strip. Like many business post-Covid the economics of the model just don’t work. Retail/office and to a lesser extent industrial premise rent/values are in for a huge shake up. We had a friend who won the prestigious retail shop of the year around 7 – 8 … [Read more...]
Pubs:
We were delighted when we found that on Thursday this week, we will be able to open Smash Palace.

I’m back working on my old cars and those useful “things” which I had squirreled away for years just aren’t around to assist the task at hand. I haven’t been able to go out … [Read more...]

In Conclusion 19 May 2020
Thank goodness we have a Prime Minister who took advice instead of rejecting it…The UK didn’t and look where they are at. I can’t have a Tuesday Club email without something about that idiot Trump. Doesn’t the Pope’s face reflect what most of us think? … [Read more...]

Garry Writes 12 May 2020
