I thought the general consensus was that people were quite happy with the use of counties where there were no big cities and lots of smaller towns.

I find it very strange that nothing has been done about the obvious c*ck-ups that have been spotted here and yet changes have been made to something we were generally okay with. Not good.

A few here seem to be clinging to Align Research to try and find something to boost the share price. They did bring out a Research Report when this IPO'd but reading back through it now it was full of absolute twaddle and based on all sorts of assumptions none of which materialized.

It's all happening here. Big Dish is the place to be.

Oxenholme added - which it turns out is in Kendal which I have heard of. Maybe the Lake District would be the best "Location" for this area.

both live now!!

I've got as far down the a-z as London without finding any new restaurants apart from Malvern and Reading but to be fair these can trickle on anytime over the next couple of hours.

The locations list on the website still isn't fixed, despite someone on here saying they were notifying BG of a problem.

Cambridgeshire has been changed to Cambridge but the one existing restaurant has not been migrated so now we have the very first location with no restaurants.

Also Surrey as a location has gone. We have Farnham instead which is where the restaurant in Surrey was but it hasn't migrated properly to Farnham and just blinks instead.

Just for continuity - or lack of it - Essex is still a location - though I don't know for how long.

Someone in the tech team has meddled and left things worse than before - bad move when customers are using the App/website daily. If it isn't broken don't fix it and if you try and change something that works make sure it still works after the changes.

Just little things that mean a lot to potential users.

Now 2 in Belfast - 10 in total.

This is an acceptable word to use though it looks as though I should have used a capital "F".

Maybe I should have said "who don't "SEEM TO" have a clue about UK geography.

They were my asterisks. Could stand for "a bunch of people who do not seem to have a clue about UK geography".

Make that 9.

Belfast, Northampton - new locations and +1
Aberdeen, Milton Keynes, Newcastle, Manchester, Sheffield +1
London +2

Surrey has gone and the restaurant that was under Surrey is the one now in Farnham.

I had missed Milton Keynes so it is 8 for the day.

Farnham added but Surrey has gone. Cambridge is what was Cambridgeshire.

I'm still on 7 - Aberdeen, Belfast, Manchester, Northampton and Sheffield +1 and London +2.

Have I missed any? How are you getting 10 or 11?

I'm very happy with my reduced holding which is showing a nice profit and I'm not getting stressed. I had bought far too many - just as I did back in September for the first nationwide roll-out - and although things are going a lot better this time I still have issues with this company and investment here will always be a risk.

The problem is that I can see a lot more potential here than the directors (and particularly Aidan) have the skill and commitment to deliver. I tend to buy on what could happen here with the perfect management but that is far from what happens in the real world.

No-one was expecting all of these one locations, we were led to believe that signings would be much faster, and I will never agree with Big Dish claiming to be a yield management operator but using the discount card 3-tier discounts.

My research has shown me that if they sign restaurants in all of the big cities in huge numbers then the revenue will increase by as much as 10 times more than is being achieved in places such as Bournemouth. So they could get both the restaurant numbers and revenue sorted out in one go but, unfortunately, the management here are not getting that. In fact, they are doing the exact opposite signing one restaurant in dozens of locations as that will bring in virtually zero revenue.

Do I care - NO - because I have reduced my holding and have nothing to lose if they do f*ck it up all over again.

It must be very hard not to sign more than one restaurant in Essex or Surrey. It shows real restraint.

Sorry, what I mean is that the one restaurant that was in Cambridgeshire is now not sure if it is in Cambridge.

I see Cambridgeshire has now become Cambridge - though the one restaurant that was in Cambridgeshire is now not sure if it is still there or not.

And please don't tell Aidan or the tech team but the only reason I keep belly-aching on about the locations not working on the website is because it is by far the easiest way to count the bl**dy restaurant numbers. There is no other reason.

I'm only on 5 so far - Belfast, Aberdeen, London, Manchester and Sheffield all +1

Just to be clear, as unfortunately some of the rude, personal comment posters seem to have found their way back here, I only use the website for counting restaurants. It is quicker as there are 20 to a page for the bigger locations. Otherwise I, too, use the App.

Yes, only the website. The App is fine.

Website - home page - Search your town or city and select one - press Find Table to go to the location - look at restaurants and then decide you want to Change Location - go to the top right of the webpage which gives the current location and the option to Change Location - highlight this which then brings up the full location list - but the problem is that there are too many locations so it can't show them all and it won't scroll down to show the ones that are not visible.

That should explain it.

Cheers

What the company could do with, and I know that I'm wasting my time pointing it out but I'll post it anyway, is one or two tech staff in the UK who know the country and can get this correct for the target market - which is the UK.
