200p Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 (edited) I think people expect to see and talk to Jamie Oliver when they go to one of his restaurants. You know, take a little peak into the kitchen - oh there he is, I can spot him (snap a picture or maybe a selfie with him!), using his flavour shaker, working his magic! But he isn't there, slaving away in the kitchen, and then the anti-climax.... he isn't there today. Edited January 10, 2017 by 200p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winkie Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 When they say sales up does that mean up in money spent or items bought?.... To get more sales either require more people spending or more people with more money to spend......so would say any increase is from increase in credit/debt or visitors taking advantage with the crashing pound.

Snugglybear Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 Boots normally have one "glass of fizz, extra points" Christmas shopping evening in my city. So far this year they've had two. The fizz was drinkable and the points were very welcome, particularly considering I got them for buying toilet paper, soap and plasters etc to restock the first aid box i.e. things I would have bought anyway.
