      Always quick to blame ‘rising’ labour costs.

      Nothing to do with the fact (and I don’t use that rhetorically) that restaurant prices have gone up at least a third, the portions are smaller and the quality of ingredients is down. I refuse to go to many restaurants now. It’s not just the chain places, either.

      The scary thing is that service work in restaurants plugged a big employment gap after the west was deindustrialised. God knows what’s coming when these restaurants collapse. Then all that private equity will be looking to asset strip the next industry.

      The future isn’t looking pretty.
