Indeed, Tim. There's generally very few options to ever have a second go at a first impression. Our cafes were built on that concept, and both the missus and daughter never let the quality of food or service drop from the very high standard that they set right from the off. We still see many of our old regular customers out and about, and honestly, without exception so far, they have said that it's just not the same since we sold them to new people. It's not that there's anything wrong with the way that they are being run now, it's just that they have lost the 'edge' over the competition, which is oh so small, but oh so important ...
