Of course its not genuine Japanese.

I'd be surprised if it was big enough for Wagamama

Jon

What other chain has popped up? I can't think of any indie that has been replaced by a chain in years.

A very astute observation.


However, people have been banging on for at least ten years about chains taking over. What have we got... Cafe Nero, Oliver Bonas, Gourmet Burger... that's about it I think.

But neither Foxtons or Picture House took over their site from independent shops. Franco Manca is taking over the site from another small chain. I get the point of course, but nevertheless, the prediction of "indies squeezed out by chains" has not really materialised yet to any significant extent.

" the prediction of "indies squeezed out by chains" has not really materialised yet to any significant extent."


this is ultimately true, to date. Helped by the small unit sizes 9as many people have said over the years)


And yet, and yet.... change is in the air I think

Exactly-- no indie has been taken over by a chain. And there are really very few large chains.

    • Another singing Leon's praises.Professional,efficient.Fairly priced.Great communication.  And happy to do my couple of small jobs.    
    • They’ve overhauled the kitchen and I gather they have a new chef. Also, a new menu is on the way.   What with Norbert’s arriving soon on Melbourne Grove, there’s going to be an Interesting offer down there.   
    • I watched this BBC expose on the news a week or so ago and wasn’t surprised at what they found although ii’s shocking when you see what the Police uncover. The amount of nail bars in London appearing almost daily is also cause for concern. What I can’t understand is the places that were raided had thousands and thousands of pounds of unpaid gas, electric etc bills. 
    • GPs are general practitioners, hence the name; they are not specialists.  Specialist doctors only work in hospitals.  Each GP surgery has a catchment area; you cannot just choose a GP because you think they are the best match for your health condition, you have to be in their catchment.  If you are not happy with the one you are currently with, ring round the others nearby and find an alternative who is able to take you.  Then, work with your hospital clinic and the GP together to maintain your health. As an aside, I have a chronic autoimmune condition and have had no problems with the shared care of my GP (The Gardens) and hospital consultant ( I am under Prof Heneghan).  I visit the clinic twice a year, they advise my GP of any changes and the GP does my prescriptions (which include a controlled drug) and my blood tests in between.  When there has been any queries about compatibility or suitability of a treatment, the GP contacts the team at Kings for advice.  The system works perfectly.   Good luck with your change of GP and give them any hospital letters when you sign up.  A GP along cannot manage your condition, so you will need to ask your hospital specialists to set up a new shared care agreement with your new GP (this has to be done this way; a GP cannot set that up).
