Love that Sarah Coggles anecdote: I do hope that shop did very well! And we'll miss Keanu, and, of course, Tony C. And there's always a mortgage to be found somewhere!

Thanks Matt, yes the shop did well for many years. All good things come to an end.

Ah this is a corker of an episode. Keanu not eaten by bears is good to know. And we hope Craig uses ‘the financial Paul Daniela’ in his advertising. The Sarah Coggles reminds me of a donor to a scholarship who named it after a tutor who had written him off.

Thank you. Yes he’s doing very well. I seem to recall a similar situation with Wetherspoons. Revenge I think.

Love the Sarah Coggles goss! Happy festivities, you two. Enjoyed these posts over the year. A great nudge to drift into our own deli day memories. And raising a glass to Keanu and dreams. 🥂

If only Tony Cannelloni lent you the money to buy the house in York before he disappeared ... So typical of him to let you down!

I am so pleased Keanu is happy in Canada, what a sweet story!!

Also, when you revealed the true identity of Sarah Coggles, I literally snort laughed.

Loved the little 'God be with ye' history tidbit too.
