We’ve all been led to believe there’s a bottomless pit of it. As the resident business "expert", could you explain what free money you are referring to?

Others not so. Don't judge all hospitality on Okells actions The vast majority of hospitality did very well out of Covid. Those that didn't..... Actually, name me any that didn't? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there really any need to be so objectionable? I don’t think I’ve ever stated that I’m a business expert. I was just stating the obvious that at some stage business owners are going to have to accept that handouts will have to stop being given as we can’t keep on throwing money at this mess indefinitely. That’s going to mean that businesses are going to fail. These businesses were largely going to fail anyway 2 years ago when the pandemic hit. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t know why you feel the need to be so grossly objectionable. There really is little point in engaging with you. As I have said the handouts are going to have to stop. People have had 2 years to decide whether to sell up or sit it out. We can’t go on underwriting this pandemic mess indefinitely. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
