Seems to have been closed a while, anyone know what the script is? Also noticed the Thai place in town opposite m and s has closed permanently Long story short, the Brazilian who opened it was struggling (with health, as well as money), passed it on to a Portuguese guy who worked for him, for a very inflated price, bigging up how busy it gets. Once the Portuguese realised it was hardly ever busy, and all his money was "wasted", he couldn't keep the place open. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In our household one person got a higher than inflation payrise which was mainly driven by a promotion. Others got less than inflation. The average payrise in this house is higher than inflation. Most people in this house got less than inflation. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kopek Posted November 19, 2023 Share Posted November 19, 2023 If they were a ''Government Shill'', they would know the figures are not Manx? Also, if a Govt shill, wouldn't they be trying to downplay the CS wage increases??? Thirdly, is there any need for the name calling??? ( crazed dave and passing cloud)?
