    Oh. Well now I'm disappointed.

    Some shops do £5 min spend.

    MF can pick up a good momentum if he hears they've reduced pies to clear.

    What she really meant is " We'll spout any old garbage to get a bit of exposure as we're running low on funds and need to do anything we can to generate some cash"

    And, almost by definition, Gregg's customers will be, on average, larger than customers of other companies, so even fewer will fit into their shops and be able to keep the 2 metre distance from others.

    Thats assuming the 2 metres starts from the widest point on someone, not their face. Shops should be forced to install VAR.
