    Ok here we go..

    If you were setting up a business in this day and age, what would it be?

    I'd probably go for a fancy box of sea salt and balsamic vinegar for people's fish and chips on monthly subscription, get 50% off your first box.. or maybe..

    A new form of virtual mechanic you can get via an app that shows you how to change your flat tyre, top up your oil, change your screen water, keep you company on lonely nights and offer advice on diy surgery.. the world is your oyster..

    laid in hospital bored, sounded good in my head <laugh>... go for it..<ok>

    Heat pump company, absolutely guaranteed to boom.

    Or a line of vegan supplements and meal boxes, with a green, carbon neutral supply chain and delivery service cos that’s exactly where the world is going.

    Sometimes you've just got to go for it, if you've got an idea that you think will work.

    I ditched a £40k+ job to start my business and I didn't throw a ton of cash at it to get it up and running either. I've gradually ploughed more into it as it's made more money, but even today it's still a micro business. Just me, myself and I. It doesn't turn big bucks, but it gives me absolute freedom in my life ... and that is priceless.

    A man can't put a price on his freedom. So striking out on your own is always a risk worth taking, because the rewards are so high.

    When I did it, I was like 'What's the worse that can happen if it doesn't work?' .....I'd have to get another job....pfft

    Years ago I worked for a very entrepreneurial bloke who was never afraid to take a risk. His favourite saying was, “if it goes tits up, I can always drive a milk float” (that shows how long ago this was).

    I think you need to be a certain kind of person though. I like the security of knowing exactly how much I’m going to be earning each month

    I've decided going to run a business selling laxatives, I'm generally full of shhite anyway <whistle>

    Laxatives will be in high demand once this virus takes hold, and they've eaten all that fooking pasta they've bought!
