If there’s one thing that’s focussed some welcome attention on which jobs are truly essential in a pandemic, then at least Covid has provided it.
The hospitality industry has benefited immensely from the various support measures but oh no it’s still never enough for the bearded cunts serving their triple mocha artisan coffee. Now they want their highly beneficial lower-rate VAT to be continued indefinitely.
The bloke who runs our local boozer quietly admitted to me that he’d had his best ever year in 2020. The combination of zero business rates; furlough support and reduced VAT had boosted his profits. He didn’t even participate in the Eat Out To Help Out (EOTHO) scheme because, by the time the first lockdown ended, his cashed-up customers had stuffed-full wallets and went for the top whack expensive wines to accompany their swans and truffles and EOTHO wasn’t as lucrative!
Now I do have time for the small Mrs Miggins’ Tea Shoppes or Fred’s Greasy Spoon that have been running through thick and thin for decades and provide a nice cosy cuppa and bacon sarnie.
What I couldn’t give a shit abaaaht are the numerous coffee chains flogging £4 cups of rubbish with such self-important ceremony, with Georgina and Millie marching through the High St holding their plastic disposable cups in front of them.
To sum up….fuck the hospitality industry.
