    Violin guy - can we start a fund to pay him to stop?

    Snax in the city - I guess like a lot of sandwich shops/cafes in the city, they'll make plenty of money out of catering - sarnies for meetings etc. Did you forget about breakfast too?

    Regarding the Stroth violin guy the word play would be too strong of a word to use.

    Snax, do they have a large breakfast run?

    It's doing the rounds online, it's been reported on numerous times that the IT team are not always up to speed. The tinkering with settings line is just to save face - MSE was hacked.


    Only place I can see a supposed hack reported as happening to day is on the david Icke site

    No further on in establishing how some of these firms/people survive.

    I see your point. If they're not making money, why are they still here?

    The Stroth violin man has now been accounted for if he is indeed receiving some form of funding akin to the big issue, I do have to question why this is happening?

    But he's not Roma is he? If he's selling the Big Issue as well as playing his fiddle then he's within the law as long as he's declaring his earning when he signs on at the bru. If not then he's operating several fiddles. :D

    I think someone here said he was given the Stroth violin to "play" instead of having to sell the big issue.

    Snax - well I dunno, but cafes aren't just busy at lunch time, there's business to be had in the mornings too, as well as the outside catering stuff.

    It still seems like a lot of staff for such a small unit.
