Anyone daft enough to take this on is going to face an uphill battle. The rent is ridiculous for a pub of this size (and tied too!). There's no central heating, so keeping the place warm in Winter must be perilously expensive. Also, local competition is stiff. And anyone taking it on is going...

That market is supply-constrained. Has been for years. So the effect on sales in the short-term can only be minor. Large scale clean hydrogen production via electrolysis is a long, long way off. It requires an abundance of renewable electricity for a start. Until then, steam reforming from...

I bet the person responsible for buying EV vans for the business is feeling pretty smug right now :lol:

Lovely choices this time out. A midwife from Hampshire parachuted in by Momentum vs Rees-Mogg's niece who grew up near Bristol and lives in Hammersmith vs an 18-year old kid from Shrewsbury. The only candidate with local connections is the Green, who lives on Castlefields.

It's probably better the students don't go there. A number of them seem allergic to the notion of paying for stuff. I guess stealing is more convenient.

Not on the Stafford site. I don't know why housebuilders do freehold on some sites and leasehold on others. It all seems a bit random. I guess it maybe has something to do with land value?

Why is it that Chell Road attracts so many idiots that don't know how to drive? People hammering it down the merging lane at dangerous speeds, or refusing to give way to traffic ahead of them at the merge point, and attempting to then undertake after the merge? I suspect the almost inevitable...

Sainsbury's aren't going anywhere. They're getting new self-service tills and a change in till layout as part of an ongoing investment in the store ahead of Morrison's opening.

Same terms as Asda/Tesco as far as I'm aware.

Morrison's car park will be free when it opens.

We were told September by the council, but that's pretty much impossible given Morrison's haven't started recruiting yet. I guess maybe the council don't know themselves...

There is no funding gap. We're saving £350m a week by leaving the EU, so it'll only take 100 weeks of savings to pay for HS2... :D;)

You're right. Wrong technical term. :rolleyes: But no, Halfords aren't losing any spaces. Lidl are losing a few. Tenpin are losing a few more. The plans have been designed so as to cause the bare minimum disruption to the retailers in the area. So, aside from a slight mistake as to whether or...

Halford were. They changed their minds a while back now, before they refurbished the existing store. IIRC it was the new bypass that changed their mind. Their existing shop will be in a really good location once the new road is complete.

I think Sainsbury's will take them. I'll check tomorrow.
