ha, not sure about that! it's quite a remarkable feat tbf

staying the course over 4 decades in an ever more challenging sector and building up a business with a load of value and being able to leave pretty much on your terms (staff/brand retention and selling on to another independent which is great news for the lanes and norwich). top man.

which is a s**t joke.
