In a world where we seem to be paying more for less, worth remembering

Margin has never been more important post-Covid - Tom Kerridge’s prices aren’t a rip-off if they’re what the market will pay https://t.co/fUUPrLGo9R

Prof Paul Hunter: "Cases nearly doubled in a week - if that's not exponential growth, I don't know what is". It wasn't and he doesn't.

@Rishisunak too many of our great breweries and pubs are going out of business, please cut Beer Duty on March 3rd. We have the highest Beer Duty in Europe. Our rate is 3x the EU average & 11x Germany or Spain's! https://t.co/aSW9lif2Fg #longlivethelocal

@hughosmond 2 themes; patients pass away days (some +7 days after vac) hence data from now should show if people are still dying (3 wks after 1st vacc) 2nd, there’s various patient reactions after vacc, some leading to death, especially in eldest/ vulnerable, not aware that’s widely reported

[James Rowe @JamesSRowe]

@hughosmond do you know if there’s data from those having had vaccine (Pfizor/ AZ) but subsequently died? Or probably still too early and likelihood other causes will be attributable as vaccine hasn’t had time to take effect.

[James Rowe @JamesSRowe]

@hughosmond Thank you @hughosmond very useful and reliable link, much appreciated

[James Rowe @JamesSRowe]

Fantastic interview @Wingers76 with the superb @petermarks100 a few seconds clip about the sad reality of hospitality with government

Jeff Bezos often gets asked, ‘What will change over the next 10 years?’ Bezos insists it’s the wrong question. The right question is, ‘What will not change over the next 10 years?’ Hospitality is durable . . https://t.co/PjHTeIWOcD

https://t.co/8T936aMVN9 What do we all know and should we believe - is COVID causing mortality rates instead of winter flu or other mortalities 💁‍♂️

[James Rowe @JamesSRowe]

And that’s without knowing how long it will take for customers to return

@AlokSharma_RDG Alok, this does not do the job. £3k a month - when there is rent to pay (average in my rented pubs over £10k a month), bank interest, furlough top up, PAYE, ERNI, utilities and other services, stock write offs, maintenance, Christmas decorations wasted etc etc.
