However, it is marvelously written parting shot:
We gave it a good shot, but our best was not good enough.
Our thanks to everyone who tried us and to all our loyal customers. It’s been a pleasure. As they say… nothing ventured, nothing gained. You win some, you lose some, blar blar blar :-) Chin up!
No thanks to all those who’d walk past every day with their costa coffee and prêt slims without ever giving us a try. We can see the future and it’s homogenous.
With sincere gratitude to my staff.
I won't pop into Pret without feeling guilty now.
You can't blame Pret for this. Come on, the place was called Snatch. In Soho.
ReplyDeleteI suspect the menu was found to be severely lacking by the majority of potential customers. Ahem.
I wasn't blaming Pret. I'll still feel the guilt though.
ReplyDeleteHmmm, something's gone wrong there.
You weren't, but they were!
ReplyDeleteIt's like me opening a place called Cocks Unlimited on Old Compton Street and then using it to flog chickens.
New business model ahoy! Let's do it! We'll be squillionaires!
