Ross bakery was also for sale around the same time, has anyone bought them yet? Another very similar story of someone working hard to build up their business from scratch. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Phantom Posted September 27, 2023 Share Posted September 27, 2023 45 minutes ago, The Voice of Reason said: Thank you. Not sure what to make of that. It was pretty good. It was 'Heritage Day' in South Africa on Monday and I think timed to coincide with that. Lots of SA foods etc was kind of a family festival followed by showing the match. I know there were 800 tickets sold as they'd sold out and I had to pull some strings with my Biltong dude. Celebrating the significant Saffa population already here and also to attract more. There were supposed to be 'South African Experiences' too. But I didn't see a Rasta car park attendant selling dagga (weed) nor was I carjacked on the way home. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Phantom Posted September 27, 2023 Share Posted September 27, 2023 Looks like Morgan's Pies might be going too. Trying to sell the business, but no success at the moment. Gutted. I'll be trying to pick up some of their Pork & Black Pudding Pies tonight. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was pleased to hear they play rugby,football,cricket,hockey,netball, cross country, and so on. I would hope that very few people these days hold views that could be considered jingoistic regarding sports. Good sportsmanship is an essential life skill. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another very similar story of someone working hard to build up their business from scratch. Fairly certain that Ross is still also for sale, as I saw an advert for it via Acquisitions on Linkedin only yesterday. Wonder if they'd make a good pairing for someone to buy both? Bought a couple of Morgan's pies at lunch. Hopefully not my last. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoTailT Posted September 27, 2023 Share Posted September 27, 2023 It seems the former Eagle Lab now has a big TO LET sign and isn’t continuing as planned. How much Gov money was pissed away on this Chamber dream ? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think starship enterprise subsidised rent to the tune of £300k plus. Search eagle lab on FOIs. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Used to see lots of yuppies and even worse, Michael Josem, in the eagle labs. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
