Okay, so re my post the other day when I commented that there were already 6 restaurants in Poole showing under Bournemouth the one that was added in Poole - Isen Thai - has now been moved to Bournemouth.

So one less added so 8 for the day, 33 for the week, and 575 total.

London + 3
Hull + 2
Bournemouth, Leeds, Manchester, Newcastle-under-Lyme all + 1.

9 for the day, 34 for the week, 576 in total.

Bournemouth is now +2 for 40.
7 for the day.
567 in total.

"This ones for the bottom drawer ... IMO"

Yes, I agree, and I'd do the same if I hadn't sold them for 4.50p recently, fearing the worse as this virus started to spread.

Some of the worst affected sectors will be the airline industry (1 gone today), tourism and dining out. Nothing personal against Big Dish. Their progress is fine, albeit sign-ups will probably slowdown.

I have Bournemouth as 39 which is +1. There were 2 added yesterday and 36 on both last Friday and Monday/Tuesday.

Big Dish are badly letting themselves down on their locations and geographical knowledge in general. They have the geographical ability of a bunch of Essex girls.

I consider myself pretty good at UK geography but I have never heard of Aldridge (except the ex-Liverpool footballer), Bushey , Cowbridge, Llandovery, Oakham, Thame , etc, etc.

They are in danger of making this platform uninvestable with too much stupidity. There are far too many locations and the allocation to location is being done very, very poorly.

This makes Big Dish look very amateurish both to future and present restaurants and to potential users.

New Locations: Harrow +1
Manchester +2
Birmingham, Bournemouth, Leeds all +1

6 for the day. Week so far (4 days) 24. Total 566.

Harrow was previously a location and then some executive decision put it in London but now it is once again considered a separate location.

I would call this a slowdown - which is what I would expect considering the news at the moment. The share price of restaurant groups such as The Restaurant Group and Wetherspoons fell badly every day last week and have continued to fall this week.

I wouldn't consider that adding single restaurants in Birmingham and Bournemouth is making much progress. Birmingham was down 1 yesterday and is up 1 today. It could even be the same restaurant.

Birmingham is -1 since my count. So yes +2 for the day.

We shall see. I'm sure someone will notice it if they reappear but in the meantime they are gone.

I had 112 for London yesterday but the Wolf Street Food in Chiswick has gone overnight so I assume that there has been an addition in London otherwise there would only be 111. Hence my London +1 and +3 overall.

I do not get the point of adding Poole as a new location. Having lived in the area for many years I know that Poole and Bournemouth are conjoined. There are already 6 restaurants in Poole that are listed under Bournemouth.

If someone lives in Poole and uses the App with the location search it will just bring up the 1 restaurant but not the other 6. This is very stupid.

Too early for a final figure but so far:

New Locations: Poole, Wigton both +1
Bournemouth +2
Edinburgh, London, Portsmouth, Worcester, York all +1

Manchester, Reading both -2
London, Nottingham both -1

Overall +9 and -6 for +3.

Wolf Street Food - a chain of 6 with 2 each in Manchester and Reading and 1 each in Nottingham and London - seems to have delisted. Not sure why.

I was thinking that maybe jyee7 had been counting say Market Harborough or Gerrards Cross which are split over 2 lines as 2 places. The town of Market and the nearby town of Harborough. Then there's the town of Stratford and the village of Upon and the nearby town of Avon.

But that doesn't work as that would make a total of 129.

Of course you can also access the website via a mobile - but that is not using the App. When I do that I can still see the locations which are all on the website.

The App has been updated. The list of locations has now gone. Search is by typing in a location. Not a great improvement as yet.

We do not have a serious outbreak of this virus in the UK at the moment. If we do get one that is serious, as in Italy, then things will change for the worse.

8 new restaurants added today but call it 13 if it makes you all feel good. Ramp, ramp, ramp.

Believe what you want.

"Up to a fifth of the workforce may be off sick during the peak of a coronavirus epidemic in the UK, the government says in its latest plans."

"London hospitality body UK Hospitality, which represents hotels, venues and restaurants has told BBC London that its members in the capital are currently seeing a 10-15% reduction in bookings"

" As news coverage of the coronavirus intensified the Company saw an increase in demand for its services from restaurants."

Looks like they'll all be pulling a sickie so they can go and dine out on the cheap with Big Dish. Bring it on.

I counted London as +3 earlier and Leeds as +1 but it is now London +2 and Leeds the same as before.

9 yesterday and 8 today.

New Locations (as if there aren't enough already) - Aldridge, Dudley, Middlesborough, Purley, Stevenage all +1
London +2
Brighton +1

8 for the day and 559 in total.

17.5% up earlier and now 5.26% down. A few posters here need to look at the facts and accept what is going on.
