I write a diary every day, have done since I was ten. Can't stop now. Never look back though, but can't start the day unless the previous day has been downloaded... So tend to write at night.

But no, never look back. No point in regrets! At least on here people can edit what's written afterwards!

When I go running on the embankment I tend to compete with other runners. When I overtake I find it's useful to look back in order to gauge distances and pace accurately in order to stay in front. However, I must be careful not to lose balance or focus by looking back too much.

I have regrets for things I didn't do, including situations where opportunity arose and I didn't see it, at the time.


I have even more regret for something I did do and if I'm not careful, soon I will have regret for something I should be doing but am not doing ( or not doing quickly enough ).


One day this opportunity may not be there (and as I've just turned 55, yesterday ) I had better get my finger out, sharpish....

      When does a family run business become a chain?

      By Sue · Posted

      Fair enough point, but does that not in a way make it even worse if they open a shop almost directly  opposite another "family" business selling exactly the same type of products?

      As Occado source from Waitrose, and were their only deliverer at one stage, and as Waitrose do now deliver it may be they feel their reach in ED is sufficient to mean having a local outlet would not gain them sufficient additional sales to be cost effective. The movement to delivery rather than physical shopping during Covid has I believe substantially changed the grocery economics. So it may be that the High Street dynamic for physical shops has now changed.

      ..... thinking about the discussion about Chango.  Their "About us" blurb on the website says started by one Argentina guy.  So if one person has a successful business and goes on to open a number of shops when do they go from a supported successful "family" business to a less liked "chain"?

      I used to buy a brand of olive oil called 'Il Casolare'. It was unfiltered, often on offer in Sainsbury's and came in a really nice bottle with a stopper. When it was finished, I'd soak the label off, fill it with Morrison's own-brand vermouth and use it for cooking as it lasts longer than keeping wine open. One night there was very little else left to drink, so we got into it - I told people it was a difficult to find artisanal brand I'd brought back from Barcelona and that it should be pronounced 'Vermut'. People loved it. I gave away a couple of bottles as Christmas presents the next year.
