Yeah, when you’ve been able to get a bang average latte from basically every greasy spoon in the country for 15 years it’s probably time to upgrade your caricature

Cost of taking a punt on a seemingly sharp kid is just too high now. For the first time since they opened in 07 & since we became partners in 22 the Christmas temps at my husband’s business are all in their 20s, all with previous experience.

The timidity is so infuriating. They have a diagnosis that the country also believes re investment & continuously duck prosecuting it in any meaningful way.

It gave bi wife energy (complimentary) but the new look is also sharp, evidently sharp enough to attract other hot lawyers. Chalking a win on this one

Was interested where the Biden/Harris admin was going on some of this. Harris’ business start up stuff was pretty milquetoast but when you combine with action on non-compete, health care decoupling, you start to get quite an interesting pro-SME platform

Always wondered how many talented mid-career people don’t take more risks cause they have school-aged kids & losing their insurance is just too big a risk

Come on, enrolment does not equal coverage nor access & varies wildly state by state. V far from an equivalent of universal care

This is why I continue to think National Museums Liverpool is the premier org outside of London. They don’t spend their time pissing & moaning like Mancunians. They’re just focused on their own mission

Biggest pay rise of my life was moving from Bristol back up North, even with a kid and a big (for up here) mortgage.

It’d be like the FT being all “you’re paying to read about the bond market? Get a girlfriend you sad fuck”

Agreed, but think restaurant tech order works here. Follow-me accounts on a fob that allows you to check on/off, add wait time on any screen you’re next to could definitely work in this setting

FiL side of the family is Scouse. First time there, ran out of fags & needed a shop. Otherwise quite sweet auntie replied “oh, go to P*** Roy’s, he’s cheaper than Sainsbury’s” they’ve known “P*** Roy” for 35 years, went to his kids wedding. No one <40 batted an eye. In 2012. A utopia it’s not
