Quoted from Les Brechin
The chippy not too far from where I live, Russells in Second Avenue has always been a top chippy. Russell has just recently retired and sold the business on, so hopefully the new owners will keep up the good work.

Not been since Russ left so can't comment on whether they are or not.


One problem I've noticed Les is that when the original owners sell the quality suffers, be it a local chippy or a big mega-company. The new owners have just bought a business, as opposed to building it up, and need to cut costs to pay for it.


You can please some of the forumites some of the time but not all the forumites all of the time

Spot on DB. I used to work in a business buying services and there were a number of well performing owner-managed businesses that successively got purchased by a large brand, and promptly the quality went down. It seemed to happen in one particular sector when they got to around £20m turnover, so I started predicting which would get snapped up next.


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.
