Thankyou to all who have expressed their good wishes. My wife and I are indeed lucky to be here instead of in some hospital. Be careful out there, especially those of you on motorcycles. If I had been on my bike this morning it would have been curtains.
I am glad you are both OK. In fact I hope nobody involved in the accident was seriously hurt. The person causing it might have been a complete numpty, but even so they too will have friends and relatives that could be affected through no fault of their own. As to motorcycling accidents, yes doesn't bear thinking about. Back on topic, I reckon the machine is an important aspect of the overall fitout. Really, as you said it is the overall business plan that counts. For some businesses the machinery is more important than others. I have no intention of opening a cafe in the near future as I want to preserve the few savings I have, so should probably try to resist pontificating. I AM more likely to give a cafe my business if I spy a syphon or pour over bar so in that sense, the machinery DOES sway me, perhaps that is just because it has not (yet) been devalued by being pimped out to all prospective cafe owners as a way to draw in punters.
