This thread from @ThomHetheringto 👇
Hospitality has always had significant churn and failure - it often attracted ill-equipped romantics to what is a fiendishly difficult sector - but it now feels like we're losing good and experienced operators. This is a new phenomenon, and an urgent warning light for government.

We’re going to be a bit quiet on here today as we’re heading down to the Bentley dealership with a giant wheelbarrow full of imaginary 3p pieces.
