Trying to sell wedding dresses to people in a country during the last 2 years of covid / lockdown must have been frustrating. Originally posted by Badger11 No these are now former friends (Lewisham) they tried to keep it quiet but it leaked out they knew I wouldn't approve. The franchise was a wedding shop, that is a warning to anyone considering buying one. If the Franchise / Holding company /HO goes bust so do you. Edited by Badger11 (04 May 2022 1.50pm)

Seems like an over the top sentence considering what happens elsewhere. 'Who are you and how did you get in here? I'm a locksmith. And, I'm a locksmith.' (Leslie Nielsen)

Actually I never said when this happened I think about 10-15 years ago. She had a shop in Bromley that was doing well but when the parent in a franchise goes bust you are up the creek without a paddle. It's one of the ironies if you ever buy a franchise they want to know if you are financially sound most people don't think to ask what about you? I am giving you hundreds of thousand of pounds how do I know you wont go bust. One more point

Boris takes credit for helping pensioner. ByRachel WearmouthSenior Political Correspondent 10:13, 3 May 2022UPDATED19:20, 3 May 2022 \| COMMENTS Boris Johnson boasted that he "introduced the freedom bus pass" when confronted with the story of a poverty-hit pensioner who rides buses to keep warm. The Prime Minister gave a car crash interview to ITV's Good Morning Britain on Monday and was repeatedly pressed over Britain's cost of living crisis. He admitted Chancellor Rishi Sunak's £9bn would fail to help all Brits struggling with their bills as inflation and rising food and energy prices clobber households. Presenter Susanna Reid pushed him on the shaming case of a 77-year-old viewer called Elsie, who has seen her energy bill increase from £17 to £85 a month, has cut down to one meal a day and travels on buses all day to stay out of the house and reduce her bills. Asked what Elsie should cut down on, Ms Reid warned the pensioner was "losing weight", before the PM replied: “The 24-hour freedom bus pass was actually something that I actually introduced.” Well-played Boris I disengage, I turn the page.
