It ain't. I read a lot in english so no problem there. However I speak english for one week a year and that's it. It shows. I'm really thinking about renting a place there for a few months to learn to speak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The dialects in midlands are challenging sometimes. I have a VHS videotape from 1994 where Jim Smith speaks and some of it goes over my head. When Sage is with me he drops his accent so I can keep up with him. I've seen so much American tv series that I'm more of a cowboy myself than a proper Englishman. I should do something about it.

Guest Posted July 29, 2018 Share Posted July 29, 2018 Littleover generally is a nice suburb not sure exactly where this outlet may be but if it's Burton Road there is good access from the ring road and it will definitely need convenient car parking. Developing a Wine Merchant rather than an off licence and specialising as there are plenty of 'beer and crisps' shops - difficult to tell the difference between off licences and convenience stores nowadays. Bear in mind that several off licence chains in the UK have ceased trading in recent years. Supply chain will be critical so coming in cold (if that's the case) will make the challenge harder I would think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also I've heard that there is no great competition of giving courses of wine and champagne courses. Considering of taking the risk of losing all my money. 17 hours ago, Cisse said: If my spoken english was better I would just try to get a place as a salesman from the store like that. 16 hours ago, Cisse said: It ain't.

If you could speak English you would try and get a job as a salesman in a store, but instead you are looking to open a business instead selling fine wines and offering advise on which are best with fish fingers and chips. Sorry Cisse, but if you have any plans of employment or running any kind of business over here, you first need to get that English sorted, especially for what you are looking to do. If you was sat behind a counter just taking money, you could learn a few grunts and get by, but to really sell something you need to speak the local lingo.

Luckily the players knew what he meant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philmycock Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 Grapevine Merlot from Aldi at just £3.49 is one of my favourite red wines I’ve ever had, and a tenner cheaper than Châteauneuf-du-Pape ? Tough marketplace for booze Cisse, but then I’m no businessman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iolanthe Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 I read an article saying that wine producers had given up trying to pursue any brand/grape loyalty in the Uk as the majority of people (unless buying for a real special occasion) bought whatever was on offer at that time.

Pearl Ram Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 If I was selling a business that was a nice little earner, I’d be tipping the wink to a family member or good friend. Just saying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Up at Chesterfield over the last few days, especially the game against Yorkshire at the weekend, it was like a different language, what with all the "By eckaslikes" and "Eeee, ecky thumps" being spoken. And I don't mean the Yorkshire people either. I felt proper posh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last one is 24th - 27th against Gloucestershire. If we have a bit of early snow, he'll feel right at home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
