Anything that brings in jobs and opportunity to this city is bloody brilliant. Person A has no drive and wants a minimum wage waitress job - excellent there are some new ones on the way. Person B has lots of drive and starts work as a waitress, moves into the kitchen, gains a team leader role, promoted to management, moves into corporate hospitality and ends up with a + 50k job. There is no such thing as a bad job. What like murdering yourself working with asbestos or manufacturing nuclear weapons??? ffs

Eh? Surely if the citizens want to be fit and healthy that is up to them what they eat and drink, not the council. Or have people had the 'common sense' part of the brain removed The council might think it was a good idea to steer them towards at least some better choices, also to stimulate local businesses not massive corporates who could and probably will pull out soon as their initial sweetheart deals run out... Well hopefully now labour has finally been removed from the local council, fresh ideas may come in, but out of 250,000 in Stoke isn't there people who would look at opening up a healthy restaurant, supplied with local produce? There may be one already, I don't know, i don't go anymore.

Whenever I walk past nandos in belfast it is always full, not my choice for eating out but it employs people and jobs are jobs Sent from my SM-G850F using proboards I always thought it was a bit priceyI usually eat at spoons if I'm out. Maybe I'd take the girlfriend there for her birthday. I met a portuguese girl at work and she blew my mind. Apparently it's pronounced "nan-doosh" rather than "nan-doh's".

Yes would be a good idea,maybe the council might like to provide subsidies for this kind of thing..they even might raise some tax revenue from this unlike the current tax evading freeloading conglomerates we have at the moment.

The costs for setting up a catering operation such as a Nandos on a retail park are staggering. Healthy food costs more to make than the crap the big boys dish out. You rarely get healthy food in shopping centres and the like, because there's no money in it. Secondly who wants to go out and have a bowl of lentils and a glass of beetroot juice on a night out! (Apart from Sal).

We are playing well. Hope we don't lose the momentum in the 2nd half. We should be ahead really. I always head to the thai village a bit further up on Dublin Road Sent from my SM-G850F using proboards

Anyone who isn't aware that over eating fatty foods and getting fat leads to health problems, wants putting down. It isn't the councils job to waste tax payers money trying to educate these tubs of lard. As for these national chains pulling out. So on one hand the fatties of the city are going to be packing out these "restaurants" but on the other hand thet'll be shutting soon?

Manufacturing nuclear weapons is probably quite a highly paid job, I'd take it A mate of mine works on nuclear subs to replace Trident, and they put those up in Barrow-in-Furness which is a right shithole. He seems to be doing alright for himself!
