Americans are already making their predictions for next year - and what happens there tends to come here after a lag time of around four-six months. It's not hard to think of an example...the collapse of the over-funded mortgage market is a pretty good case of something reaching here with knobs on.
Anyway, one thing they're predicting is the demise of the big-ticket hotel restaurant chef next year. No surprise there, you might say, except that it would have a major impact on the dining rooms of Park Lane if that came to pass.
On that particular strasse top name chefs are packed in tighter than a Victoria line commuter train carriage, and some were said to be experiencing some difficulties even before the horrendous past six months came to pass.
The issue around MFI and Woolworths is that they were just keeping their head above water in the good times. Now things have dipped somewhat the removal men have been called in, and I can think of a few that the same applies to on that famous Monopoly dark blue coloured-road
Let's hope Aiden Byrne leaving the Dorchester isn't a harbinger of things to come.
