wednesday1 Posted June 11, 2010 Share Posted June 11, 2010 i agree but do you really think they will care what anyone says as long as the line up of "wannabes" and 10 bob millionaires poseurs continue to trudge to the frankly quite poor facade of a cafe bar and spend their money on overpriced and overated food and drink? i doubt it!! they are not on their own this is how many businesses carry on from hard times "thats life " as they say! Nonnas has never known any 'hard times', it's just a con trick! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jobean Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 Sorry If I'm repeating here but haven't read the whole post.... Nonna's is literally the most laughable place, everyone sits facing outwards. I presume this is for one of two reasons, the first so that they can be seen by the pleb masses who wish to be a 10p millionaire like them. The second reason is that someone might touch their big shiny car that they park bang outside and drive home after a polite amount of over priced wine.

The daft thing is a lot of them are real millionaires, Sheffield has so few places for them to strut their stuff, Nonna's simply stepped in and offered it's services. For me, £10.00 for a sandwich and a coffee is about £5.00 too much, maybe just me, but it's my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josef Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 well, if they are millionaires they are not spending their money there. Recently heard they went out of business owiong £300,000 to creditors. They re-opened under a different company name. That's what i heard anyway. I used to have a drink there now and again. Everyone in their was <removed> and really patronising. The staff were nice though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rioja Posted July 19, 2010 Share Posted July 19, 2010 I agree with you. It is totally immoral. The two founders of the business 'continue as employees'. Afterall the money they must have made out of the business over the year's they are still allowed to carry on as they would have if they had run their business honestly. Shameful. That's great isn't it? I wonder if the tax they couldn't be bothered to pay had actually been deducted from employee wages, if so surely that would be theft. If Nonnas can get away with not paying their taxes and VAT then it hardly encourages other companies to be honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feargal Posted July 19, 2010 Share Posted July 19, 2010 The bit that bothers me in the Yorkshire Post article is "Nonnas (Sheffield) Ltd continues to purchase from and support all the small businesses that the company Nonnas Restaurants Ltd used before voluntarily liquidating." It basically reads "they extended us credit and were mugs before, so they'll be mugs again". I hate phoenix companies - it's always the suppliers and employees that lose out.

I think if I were supplying this "new" company I'd want paying up front. Crooks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
