I remember one mate thinking he'd pulled a blinder by jumping ship just in time and being given the flick from his permie job 3 months in.
    Ok, better get my Subway franchise application in then. There are a couple of shops free on my high street thanks to the recession.

        This might be a beter franchise.
        How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.

            Similar in my neck of the woods ! I noticed on Saturday that the 'Dogburger' man had shut up shop after faithfully looking after pisspots on Saturday night for 20 years.

              I actually know a MUCH better franchise I have researched which hasn't been milked in the UK yet. Just not telling as it's my Plan B.
