Christ its like working for Ebeneezer Scrooge, bah humbug...lol
You couldn't make it up, in fact I talk to friends who have never been in a Sams pub and they are staggered at what is happening, some of them are fellow businessmen and laugh when I tell them, one guy refused to believe me, point blank, and thought that this site was a wind up p--stake.
Unfortunately its not, His first words he spoke after he'd seen it was, "what do the staff and customers think of it all"?  Then he saw some of the posts from customers and stafff/ex staff and he was speechless!!!

Pity it wasn't all a bad dream, shame cos it could be soooo different, they have some fantastic little boozers, some of them used to be noted for food too.

Roll on the revolution.

Having just re-read the memo again, you've got to laugh at this bit..

"Giving people what they want not in any case being Samuel Smith's strong point"

Initialed 'HS' - Humphrey Smith


So I don't know if I'm reading it correctly, as it's badly phrased - but is this a confession that Samuel Smith's are not very good at fulfilling their customers requirements?

It is poor grammar but I think it means just that, its almost as if they are boasting about it...lol

when i first received this memo.. i thought it was a p--s take.. as for one its not letter headed  and for the other humph always signatures his letters with HRW Smith.
