Our business had a business plan which should be excelling right now. Instead we went backwards last year and have faced closures and insolvency discussions which have ripped the heart out of what we do. Not to mention the anxiety and heavy chest I wake to daily Change needed!

We're now loosing 50+ pubs a month. Meanwhile, gas is half the price it was in Oct 21. 5 x cheaper than March 22. 7 x cheaper than Aug 22. The Energy firms are ripping the heart out of our High Streets. @ofgem CEO/Board should resign or be sacked.

Nilks Patel Premier Yogis Stores Eltham SE9 Here’s is my story. I have been around retail since I can remember. I remember being banned from the Post Office because I kept sitting on the panic button, which back in the 80s, was on the floor in a big blue box.
