#PIZZAEXPRESS

Pizza Express is considering closing 67 of its UK restaurants, which would mean the loss of 1,100 jobs. The restaurant chain has 449 outlets in the UK.

@Ekralp commented: “Be positive! We can replace it with something British. Coming soon: Deep-fried Stodge Express.”

@jay12f said: “You know things are bad when this is potentially happening. It probably costs them £2 to make a pizza , they sell it for £12 But no one is eating out. All for a virus that seems to kill, badly sick and elderly people Is it not time to simply get back to normal before the country collapses?”

@mattdicko posted: “A bit gutted about this, with the exception of ‘proper’ Italian pizzas I always found Pizza Express to be excellent and authentic. The bad name for a restaurant chain didn’t help but the food is/was always great.” @J28red added: “Are we allowed to worry about the economy now?

@wb_gordon commented: “If he was suspended, I could recommend a Mr Blatter to maintain their high standards of governance and bookkeeping. Just saying . . .”

@bafem said: “Can you really be in that Fifa presidential seat and not be investigated for financial wrongdoing?”
