If England exit the World Cup at an early stage, will the brokers downgrade their estimates?
Also, I agree that their pizzas are now poor compared to others. I wonder if they have sacrificed quality for quantity.

Our local Domino's was doing poor until they employed two stunning female moto delivery girls uniformed in very small hot pants, and tight tops.

i find harry's comment interesting, as i was always under the impression that domino's quality was superior to the competition .... if that is now genuinely not the case, then they are in for a bad time as the public is not stupid, except for those apparently seduced by the pubic

harry - who is now reckoned to be top of the pops in the take-away market?

Not really sure as I don't eat many pizza's (have tried a new local Domino's lately, but was very disappointed), but locally Papa John's is the best. To sit down & eat, Pizza Express seems the most popular, but I can never understand the logic as they are very expensive. Maybe one of the reasons I rarely invest in retail, as consumer trends elude me. Not far from me is a huge student population, so they are the target market with lots of student cheap deals being offered.

Students. Rat, or mice droppings would not bother them, they would see it as a free bonus.

Clubman were the two moto girls over 18 years..?

Why

Had they passed their test..?

Who cares they were hot.

lol.

The funniest one was a fast food operation in Manchester called the pink pound
they had young gay guys as moto delivery drivers dressed like the guys on the tv ad 118 118 but dressed in pink and looking like Freddy Mercury.

July 2010 when it will provide a further update on trading.

is this just flannel for saying making redundancies as sales are not quite as buoyant as hoped?

I hope they do not make our local young hottie moto delivery girls redundent

Club sounds as they are not just selling pizzas.....

They are. I tried offer for extra service. Their boss pays them twice the min wage per hour. Not bad for sixth formers nice pocket money.

lol..
