I do get your drift :)
...how well run are some of the theatres ..does it matter because of their cultural importance? (I get your point re shows being hooked)
Free market economy says let the weak fail....we have seen clubs go to the wall ...but not nearly as many as one would have expected...
To take your example ...Has Debenhams been run properly for the last say five years...it’s been a basket case for a while now...the viability of the ‘High Street’ was an issue before Covid came along
Furlough wasn’t ‘viability’ tested....in fact it helped pay lower league club wages
Sounds...
