bakerie or The Northern Quarter restaurant errr both in the the northern quarter

Best send the trail builders in and make it an all weather surface oh and some drops, berms to jig it up a bit and while your on a cafe at the top of each hill for your latte :D

Macon Verze Domains Leflave Ding dong it’s right on!

I just buy aslong as there is money in he account and we don’t go overdrawn no problem.

If your clever you can get it for free but you need to buy a hell of a lot of coffee for that, normally about £4000 for good one Had the cheap ones and all you get is bad coffee and loads of call outs to fix it you end up paying the same in the end depends if you want the hassle, its all about the pump. Serve good coffee and they will come.

Yup the materials are the cheap bit and coffee ( the good stuff ) if you have negotiated your bean price correctly works out at about 12p a cup the costly bit is the lights wages insurance etc etc I worked out in my last establishment that we smashed 1.5 cups a day, cost the business £7.23 in just replacing the cups per day. You need to charge correctly if your going to make a business pay nobody does it for zero return.

Having spent 20 years running hotels and restaurants ( not any more though) I frequently looked at are books and wondered how we made any money at all, Salaries running at 38% of income, rates, water, equipment ( how do you fancy a new sewerage system @£138,000 and the customer never sees that ) painting,gardens , fire systems checks.
If you want to make money in catering get a Mac Donald’s franchise if not and your doing things because your passionate about doing things the right way then forget it.

I am not very good bending the truth,it’s no school playing field up them hills.

Nah, I am not sure I would be able to explain the three peaks to the warranty dept it bit outside the normal I was just riding along excuse.

A wetsuit is the right choice !! Not sure about the brakes as I have only ever had disked crossers though might have to go back to cantis as disks are fashionable now.

Wetsuit and a snorkel will be my riding gear of choice :-)
