Do you need help with the website btw?
Cheers for the Oxford mail link. My wife is the one on the right!
Molgrips - we might well do. Jo's dad is helping us but I need to get it off his hands a bit. Not easy! Can I get back to you over the weekend?
Ok then...Jeez.
Thanks Drac...
How's the coffee shop going?
nice work, i love reading stuff like this. 😀
rob2, just out of curiosity, find out if your wife knows Nina Barrs and Kiernan Doherty (head of enhancements) from her Network Rail days. I'm often on the other side of the table from them on major infrastructure projects.
Dd - it's going well. Hard work but good. We've increased the menu recently which has worked well and have started a few events like childrens boom readings etc. Spent a lot of time on getting customer service tip top and building reputation.
Are we going to be able to retire to the south of France? No but it's been worth it so far.
Hoping to get didcot phoenix to get us on one of their routes on sundays so if anyone on here rides with them let me know!
Pete - my wife doesn't know them (she worked on the GSMR project, or GSMarse as it was known!) 🙂
Glad it's going well, Rob. The option to flip the middle finger at your current employer must be overwhelmingly tempting! 😈
It is but I have a mortgage to pay and two kids in nursery!
Back from summmeerrrrset. Will phone Tomoz!
Tsk, and you didn't drop in 🙁
It was jo's birthday so it was family stuff all round. Believe me not my ideal weekend !
Hehe - escape to the Qs would've been A Smart Move! 😉
hows the cafe been going? is that 6 months?
He's now too busy for STW...
Still going!
Been opened a year now and had a birthday party to celebrate! Just about to file first year accounts.
Turnover is all stable and after a few hiccups on the staff front we have some good girls/ladies now.
Still have bike mags too!
And we do an "ultimate blt" designed by Kay who works Friday and Saturday 🙂
Rob, glad to hear you're doing well, and happy 1st birthday. Now back to it, my bacon, egg and sausage isn't going to make itself!
Good man - nice to hear of a success story - you even proved me wrong to be sceptical 🙂
Fantastic!!
For some reason just last week I remembered the 'how much does it cost to open a coffee shop thread' and was wondered what had happened.
So great to hear that it's been a success!!
Good stuff. Congratulations.
Congratulations on your 1st birthday!
Well done...too many bitter failures around these parts. It's good to see someone showing them how it's done. Here's to another good year, and many more to come after. 🙂
great stuff, congratulations. Must pay another visit soon. I hope you still have that lovely flapjack!
Still have flapjacks!
We do a guest cake each month, starting Monday we have a cherry bakewell cake. I kid you not its to die for.
Hot chocolate with marshmallows and cream too 🙂
Happy Birthday Four Teas
Well played four teas! 🙂
Happy birthday - great to hear it's going well! 😀
Great news Rob, did De ever get in touch?
She's busy as ever, even opens on Sundays now. She had to extend upstairs too.
Yep, she got in touch, very helpful. Glad she's doing well. We are just debating whether we open Sunday's!
