Sandwiches

I see Pret a Manger - the up-market sandwich shop favoured by young bankers, hedge fund analysts and lawyers - has been basking in the glory of another set of strong results, with a significant amount of press coverage today. Here a few links:

It's been quite some time since Bridgepoint purchased the company (almost eight years), so when I bumped into Bridgepoint's urbane PR man at a party late last year I posed the question:

"Will 2016 be the year Bridgepoint/Goldman Sachs sell the well-liked sandwhich chain?"

The answer I got was a predictable: "there are no current plans etc etc etc ..."

  4. Are you having a hard time searching for a way to get your ex partner back, look no further, this was how i got mine back you can get yours today. My husband and I have been through every top reason for divorce; financial struggles, bankruptcy, stressful jobs, becoming parents when we weren’t ready (neither one of us would give our kids back just the amount of stress is overwhelming) we fought ALL the time over anything and everything. I threatened divorce all the time. One day after a fight I said I was done and filling. He told me he wasn’t in love with me anymore. After a day or two of cooling off I realized that divorce is not what I wanted. No, our marriage was not healthy but we had so much going against us an neither one of us were trying. I begged for him to forgive me and that I didn’t mean it. He told me he loved me but wasn’t in love with me anymore. Those words hurt and I believed him.One day i was online for tutor, as i was browsing i saw a review about a spell caster who could solve my problem, i have heard about spell casting, and magic, i said i should give it a try i contacted the spell caster his name is Dr Ewan of {covenantsolutiontemple@gmail.com}, i contacted him and he told me not to worry that all he had to do for me is a love spell, he did it and told me that i should give my husband 48 hours and that he would realize him self, i waited anxiously and one the second day of casting the spell, he came to me and told me he was sorry for the wrong he did to me, he has agreed to send me to school and we are happy. Thank you Dr Ewan you are the best. If you have any marital problem, winning of lottery and many other problems you can contact him on his email, {COVENANTSOLUTIONTEMPLE@GMAIL.COM} or call his mobile number +2347052958531, he is a good and kind man. Thanks. ELIZABETH STRONG LONDON UK

  5. Dr. Wakina please help, I need my husband back to be a King to me and our children and also treat me like a Queen, was my request to the greatest spell doctor via *dr.wakinalovetemple@gmail.com* His love spell helped me to regain my King for eternity, we have already forgotten we had issues in the past.
    I decided to share this review because it’s worth sharing, a spell doctor I haven’t met before brought back the man that did not want me 3 months ago because things were not getting any better between us and we haven’t made love for 4 months, but he was glad with that and moved on with his life. He told me he is done and advised me to file for divorce. He told me he will only care for our children and he stopped loving me since December last year. It made me cry and I told him that he will love me again before he asked me to go to hell.
    Am happy my wishes was granted when all hope was lost. Thank you so much Dr. Wakina. <3

  7. Its no longer news that DR Zadson of EDUDUZADSONTEMPLE@YAHOO.COM is a man sent by God to help the lonely,oppressed,deserted and broken hearted. It was recently i saw comments of how this man helps restore lost love in a very short while and i have been depressed for long after i lost my husband to another.

  8. i never believed that i could finally get back
    the happiness
    and the love that was gone after my husband
    left me totally.
    I couldn't just believe that spells and magic
    could turn my
    thoughts and my dreams into reality in getting
    back with my
    husband after he served me with divorce
    papers.. my ex
    husband after the divorce never showed up to
    me and the
    kids anymore, he finally made up his mind on
    me and said it
    was over. 2 years after our divorce, i was still
    out trying to
    get him back and i did all that i knew best
    could make him
    happy, and my mum and everybody around
    just advised i
    should forget about him and move on with my
    life, because
    they felt he was gone forever and was never
    gonna return.
    But i never gave up on trying to get him back,
    because i so
    much loved him beyond what anybody could
    ever imagine. I
    met a spell caster, and what drew my
    attention most was the
    fact that this spell caster was presently here
    in Florida when
    i contacted him. And that so much gave me
    the assurance
    because i have heard much more on how he
    has helped a
    lot of people... and with the help that this
    spell caster
    rendered to me, he saved my marriage and
    reunited me
    and my ex husband back together again with
    his powerful
    spells. Thank you so much Dr.ituafelice for
    your help in
    reuniting me and my husband again, if not
    for you, my life
    would have permanently turned out to be a
    mess. contact him now on His Email;
    DR.ITUAFELICE@GMAIL.COM or whatsapp him on
    +2349034078636 Now?
