36
00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:49,360
Speaker 3: his weight was keeping the cafe going. Oh this thing

37
00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:52,200
Speaker 3: of they're losing all this money because we moved the

38
00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:57,640

00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:11,919
Speaker 2: the producer said, why don't you go Middle Eastern menu

44
00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:15,560
Speaker 2: and you call the cafe cafe to bully now. She

45
00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:17,960
Speaker 2: said that there's been a lot of Lebanese customers that

46
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:20,360
Speaker 2: have come in and said, you're making a mockery of

47
00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:23,640
Speaker 2: our culture. Did was that your idea to come up

48
00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:24,720
Speaker 2: with cafe to bully?

49
00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:27,240
Speaker 3: No, it wasn't my idea. But I'll tell you right,

50
00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:32,120
Speaker 3: if you look on the evening when the Lebanese table

51
00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:36,799
Speaker 3: was in and had the drinks, that's my trainer, Adam Adin.

52
00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:40,880
Speaker 2: That's right, Adam and big Muey who listens to you

53
00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:41,480
Speaker 2: know who.

54
00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:44,560
Speaker 3: Are all Lebanies who loves the joy and you know

55
00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:48,400
Speaker 3: so look the way the restaurant looked like the way

56
00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:51,200
Speaker 3: the restaurant world is at the minute. You can come in,

57
00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:53,840
Speaker 3: you can do a paint job, you can do the

58
00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:58,079
Speaker 3: new menu, but not everyone's going to survive. That's the

59
00:02:58,120 --> 00:02:59,680
Speaker 3: brutality of the industry.

60
00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:02,280
Speaker 1: Were in Yes, first do you think I mean if

61
00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:04,680
Speaker 1: they specially were they doing any Asian food?

62
00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:07,920
Speaker 3: They were doing a little bit of. It was like

63
00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:11,680
Speaker 3: around the world in eighty dishes. It's like xpo XO

64
00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:14,240
Speaker 3: was and that was can you imagine if you're doing

65
00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:17,840
Speaker 3: eighty dishes, how much food is sitting in that fridge

66
00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:19,679
Speaker 3: and how much mood is going off? And that was

67
00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:22,680
Speaker 3: the big problem. Yeah, right, trying to do too much

68
00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:26,239
Speaker 3: and they are Colin he changed the name tobari. But

69
00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:28,680
Speaker 3: if you looked at the containers, we were old enough,

70
00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:29,760
Speaker 3: the food was rotten.

71
00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:31,600
Speaker 1: What did they do well?

72
00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:33,600
Speaker 3: And a lot of the people who are eating that

73
00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:35,800
Speaker 3: were older and that that's very scary.

74
00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:38,840
Speaker 1: Yes, what did they do well? Like was there a

75
00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:41,160
Speaker 1: signatjudicial or something that people kept coming back to the

76
00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:42,160
Speaker 1: cafe for or.

77
00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:47,000
Speaker 3: They did sweets in a cobinet quite well because they

78
00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:53,600
Speaker 3: bought them in So okay, So in saying that last, Virginia,

79
00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:57,320
Speaker 3: yes was a beautiful lady, right, Yes, she was just

80
00:03:57,440 --> 00:04:00,320
Speaker 3: she was backed into a hole where her relative left

00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:03,040
Speaker 3: for the cafe. Yes, she hadn't been paid a month.

00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:07,600
Speaker 3: And I feel for virgin and lever her husband such

83
00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:10,520
Speaker 3: a lovely guy. Yes, and I really fell for him

84
00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:13,480

85
00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:16,479
Speaker 3: and paying the wages of the night. So fair.

86
00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:19,520
Speaker 2: We can we can fix this. I mean, when you

87
00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:21,160
Speaker 2: pick up the front page of the paper, you go,

88
00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:23,320
Speaker 2: oh my god, this is But this can be fixed

89
00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:25,480
Speaker 2: if they bring the coffee machine to the front of

90
00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:28,239
Speaker 2: the cafe and they change it from cafe to bully

91
00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:31,560
Speaker 2: there's something local. I mean, this can be fixed quite easily.

92
00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:36,800
Speaker 3: Well, what happens is kitchen night match comes in, they

93
00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:40,120
Speaker 3: go here, here's what we're thinking of doing. Right, We're

94
00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:42,279
Speaker 3: going to do the name. You can change that name,

95
00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:44,400
Speaker 3: or we're going to move everything because we're going to

96
00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:46,480
Speaker 3: paint your walls, we're going to clean your kitchen. We're

97
00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:48,360
Speaker 3: going to lose the copy machine. You could lose the

98
00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:52,240
Speaker 3: coffy machine back. It's pretty that's the problem with the

99
00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:55,440
Speaker 3: joint business. One o one. You've got to be reactive.

100
00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:57,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean I would have caught it rock on
