Well I'm sure they will manage..they used to before we all became mad about providing services 24/7.They managed when the minimum wage came into force by the way and I can't see why they can't now.

That's ok then. "I'm sure they will manage". I must go back to my old business studies lecturer and advise him of this new business concept. I can see it now in that lecture hall:
"Sir, how does XYZ Ltd maintain it's profit margins to a level acceptable to it's financial backers, whilst ensuring that it's pricing is competitive enough to win a reasonable amount of it's core market?"
"I don't know, but I'm sure they'll manage".
In fact I shall use it as a business plan with my bank manager... "I have stable income, but increasing overheads when I'm already struggling to break even. But don't worry about the escalating overdraft as I'M SURE I'LL MANAGE".
What a sound, well-reasoned and balanced argument you present.
This motion by our Tone may not bring industry to it's knees, but it sure as Hell ain't doing it any favours.
