Haha no I'd never trust a skinny chef. |

We're great thank you lovely.......yourself?
How's it going...........? It's early days but the beginnings of a client list is building. Lots of competition in the wedding sector. |

I'm good thank you
Slowly but surely is the best way
When I get married I will know who to call it is very competitive, I experienced that with the beauty treatment side of things. |

A vintage tea room come emporium.
A place to meet, eat, drink, sell & buy!
I'd book guest singers / musicians in to do sets, have an alcohol license so it can be used as a quirky venue in the evening. I'd also hire it out for private functions |

"Either a proper confectionery shop or a good old fashioned toy shop. Childhood memories.
Elaborate on the proper confectionary shop. "
So like all the jars behind the counter, chocolate decorations, loads of colourful candysnaps , little sample table for the kids to sneak a bite while the parents aren't looking. Lots of colour, lots of temptation! Even a little ice cream bar. |

I'd combine my two loves. Tea and Poetry.
A quaint tea shop with odd furniture, odd tea cups and odd pots. Where I could hold small poetry afternoons/evenings. |

I'd like to open a cafe specialising in breakfasts, but not just full english, kedgeree, kippers, devilled kidneys, shakshuka, that kind of stuff. With great music and good tea and coffee. Friendly kind of place. |

Second hand book shop that also sells tea and cakes.
Or, a lingerie shop for the bustier lady, it's the devil's own job finding 'Twin friendly' sexy lingerie. (also would give boob perving possibilities  ) |

A hammock shop, there's nothing like hanging around all day.
Actually what I really want to set up is an eco hammock 'campsite', but from the limited research I did it is really difficult to find suitable, affordable woodland sites without restrictive covenants in the UK. I actually think it would be quicker to buy a normal campsite and plant the trees. Now what was the campsite in Carry on Camping called? |

Do you run one, or have you worked in one? I've always wondered how they go about advertising for staff, as I'd love to work in a sex shop. |

camouflage the exit not the entrance... BT I think Ikea already patented that idea  |

Iv worked in one, would be better to own one and run it yourself as its all about sales etc. The shop I worked in used to have window display of certain things which enticed customers in, but since Iv left they have stopped that and it's boring. It's fun working with a customer if they are not sure what they want. Go for I'd say |
