Many people forget that people in the entertainment field often rely on their accountants and assistants to handle the business matters because they are either too busy or they are not good in this matter so they hire people who are. I bet we will find out over time, what happened. I feel bad for him because now he will get blamed for being inept and we forget that he is a human being.Birgithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09439720285857050428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2762107274389650601.post-61901096658407993082019-05-23T16:23:21.037-04:002019-05-23T16:23:21.037-04:00So am I Lisa.

Also good news ...Glad you got some food organised! Also good news re the heart chap for now ... hope that continues on.<br /><br />Re Jamie Oliver - it's not the sort of thing I pay attention to ... we don't have one of his restaurants down here (Brighton, yes) ... and the only one I ever went to was his London flagship one ... when a friend was over from SA and she was determined to go there and we met some other friends. But it was about the worst time for me as far as my mother was concerned ... my uncle was also ill at that stage ... and I nearly collapsed/went over the top - I managed to get to town, but was 'dead on my feet and in my head' ... <br /><br />This was 12 years ago ... I guess ... and Fifteen was thriving then. He was no longer running the restaurant businesses ... and had injected some millions into them last year to keep them going - obviously not going to do it again.<br /><br />Too many middle class restaurants ... and lots of new ones popping up - with cheaper options, lower rents, and food deliveries ... <br /><br />Hope that helps ... cheers HilaryHilary Melton-Butcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17596532480645510678noreply@blogger.com
