We've been helped out so many times by the guys surrounding us, including the ones that are direct competition. Others, usually the bigger chains haven't been so helpful and they suck mega balls for it! <br /><br />Personally I'm pretty sure I support the little guy.

The issue being they don't understand the time, skill and effort required to make music or food from scratch. Or the skills and porkandalehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03921922551924618540noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5154753945422328101.post-13678206239584592582014-05-07T11:05:27.081+01:002014-05-07T11:05:27.081+01:00Thanks for the comment dude.

Yep I'd agree with everything you say and thought about including some more stuff around what you were saying but the post was already a bit unwieldy!<br /><br />The two exceptions you mention both sit quite nicely in to the comparison as well. Firstly unless you are super hardcore we all use chains now and then and they can be quite tasty just as although the Baileyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03767084112947083238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5154753945422328101.post-81340916143293506212014-05-06T20:49:17.463+01:002014-05-06T20:49:17.463+01:00I enjoyed reading your post, your comparison betwe...I enjoyed reading your post, your comparison between DIY music and DIY food is spot on. We should indeed be supporting the little guy in favour of the number crunching corporate chain (although the odd corporate chain can be rather tasty). However, would you agree that recently there has been a spate of little guys copying other little guys in an effort to cash in on a scene?( I mention no names Cubbie Cohenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08641144507877949588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5154753945422328101.post-21367784939049645742014-05-03T18:10:15.882+01:002014-05-03T18:10:15.882+01:00What a great comment - agree with every word you s...What a great comment - agree with every word you say (including about The Clash - have tried to persuade Bailey otherwise!!)Juleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08811956197890457664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5154753945422328101.post-56192367799354306322014-05-02T10:45:32.221+01:002014-05-02T10:45:32.221+01:00I think this analogy is perfect.

What we're getting with the large chains is corporate punk ideology, stealing the concept, washing it down into something "safe for the man in the street who is far too busy to do his own thinking". The dining equivalent of Avril Lavigne (dear god I feel sick from just typing that).<br /><br />It's fantastic to see places like Levy Market porkandalehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03921922551924618540noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5154753945422328101.post-14530596972199083022014-05-01T20:52:48.747+01:002014-05-01T20:52:48.747+01:00The Clash are boring, Joe Strummer was a good dude...The Clash are boring, Joe Strummer was a good dude though.Baileyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03767084112947083238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5154753945422328101.post-85866294394722791022014-05-01T19:34:03.566+01:002014-05-01T19:34:03.566+01:00RIGHT ON BROTHER.

Seriously though, enjoy the cyclical nature of this post - although you need to sort out your disinterest in The Clash, could have fittingly used some lovely Lost in the Supermarket lyrics in this post...... xAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15651163641872952082noreply@blogger.com
