Wow!

Least it gives the smaller takeaways a bit more of a chance to compete now. Had thought what with pubs doing takeaway now and the usual delivery companies there must be a saturated market.

Fair doos,that’s grabbing the bull by the horns.

Some suppliers are going to be scratching their heads.....

Will create disruption until we see what these folk turn to next. And then panic. And of course it will affect the business viability of the current suppliers, unless they can take up the sales into the replacement.

Better their heads than other parts of the anatomy....?

I reckon the Govt 80% payment for Furloughed employees ( isn’t that a great word) is what’s tipped the decision
Might find KFC Costa etc might all follow suit

I suggest that by the weekend there will hardly be a takeaway outlet of any sort open in the UK. Somehow got to stop people moving around and it is imperative to close of any place teenagers may congregate - got to get the children of the UK grounded.
