Enjoying a drop of red.

A few local firms lost out when Autovogue went into administration but not as much as BCA!
My sympathy for BCA is actually fairly limited but it's a massive shame the owners acted like arses and ran up so much debt with so many people.

It’s a bit naive of them to blame JLR for their unexpected problems. Jaguars & Land Rovers have been shite for many years now.

With a different company opening a much bigger more modern bowling alley in Stafford, I fear tenpin may be another casualty to add to wasteland of the north end of town.

Let’s be real though, TenPin is the same as it was 20 years ago while the leisure industry has spent all its time innovating

For example: I have a client that uplifts laser tag arenas to turn them into VR arenas - as in same space, same layout, but with a lot more happening because everyone is running around the space with a VR headset on. That’s the kind of stuff happening in the US while the industry just falls apart over here.
