TVR will be bust within 5 years sadly IMO. If it takes that long. 

They could be bust by this time next year, nevermind 5 years, unless they manage to raise a shit load more money

He's back.

Me and Ronnie were chatting earlier,  thought you'd snuffed it with it Conny Covid 😉 😜 

Are the trains still doing a bit at present pal ? I've not checked for ages.

Never been away, I was ill in early January with all the C 19 symptoms and felt crap for 10 days, anyway one good thing I managed to stop smoking, so some good has come out of it. Trains on the WCML are running, but carrying fresh air.

The extra 17.5 billion over the next 5 years from Aldi will cover that mate 😉 

Aldi deal is good news. But we need a whole lot more to follow. Surprised the other supermarkets haven’t made similar announcements although most are streamlining rather than expanding like aldi and lidl. But I expect more to say we will buy more British. 
 

as an aside I was reading Sainsburys annual report the other day  online up by over 100% year on year  mental and all due to Kung flu

I was being optimistic. They will need a strong forward order book or a very frivolous backer or PE house to Step in.  But I would be surprised if a large PE house were interested in this with the levels of cash required. 25m is buttons in that industry

Hope you're feeling better now pal and also got yourself tested ? Well done on quitting the cigs 👍 

Fucked if I'm sitting next to you on a train again, you little super spreader 😉

Going out to the in laws for a Christmas Day meal was the problem, my son tested positive after being told at work to get a test, and yet he's been fine. Laid low to fuck me, never felt so shite for years.

Quite possibly true mate.

If you need anything doing whilst you're a bit rough, just give us a shout pal 👍

Some people might put this change down to Brexit, but it is actually just greed. It is well within the power of the card schemes to make merchants’ lives easy and keep things operating as they were pre-2021,”

But they wouldn't be allowed to enact this particular form of "greed" if we were still a member of the EU...

So it is down to Brexit.

No it’s really really not. But nice try 

because something or somebody prevents you from doing something it doesn’t mean that when they no longer have the power to stop it and you choose to do it that you can blame them. That’s very flawed logic. But no surprising.

Just have. Thanks 

You haven't though. Seriously, can you explain why they've only decided to re-charge these fees now we're out of the EU? Why didn't they just charge the fees all along?

No I have. I really have. Spend your time looking in on your mate. He needs your help. Whilst I’m making hay he’s on the edge and living in the past. 
 

help him

It’s a commercial decision by a large corporation. It hasn’t been forced on them by anybody.  They have chosen to do it. Simple as that. 

Nobody is saying it was "forced on them". The opposite is true. They were "forced" to stop charging them. Now they're not.
