            In was in 1978 he paid £5,000 for the outlet in Willesden, north London, using funds from his father and a small bank loan. That would be about £65,000 today. A very good price to pay for a business and stock in liquidation.

                What just because he has a foreign sounding name?

                  Did you look at his picture??? Something foreign about him. I think it's the way he ties his shoes.

                    That was a picture of the owner? I assumed it was just one of the cleaners.
