@jerseyruddy Weather is no reason not to

@jerseyruddy You know full well what I mean Mrs Ruddy!!!

@jerseyruddy When can I get him into a proper kitchen?

@jerseyruddy I’m feeling positive! Making good changes :-)

Simon Soar, Vice Chair of IoD Jersey is facilitating a Q&A with our Chief Minister. @Moore4Jersey @GovJersey @SimonSoar

@jerseyruddy This is what the breakfast martini was invented for

@Krislefeuvre @JennBridge Kris, I have some great recipes if he eyeballs you too much

@JennBridge I have the same with a rabbit. Just eyeballs us. Little ‘un thinks he’s related to Peter Rabbit.

@jerseyruddy @GovJersey @jcg_live Amazing work

@jerseyruddy The youngest decided 420 was a good wake up time today!

@jerseyruddy Think it’ll be warmer today!

@jerseyruddy @iodjersey Very kind of you Alex, if i can continue the momentum we have had so far, its going to be productive to say the least!

Just over 3 weeks until I take on #islandwalk for #mindfulserve. I’m taking on this challenge to raise money to help hospitality and tourism workers in Jersey access mental health help when they need it. If you can, please support the cause. justgiving.com/crowdfunding/m…

@JBakerJersey @DominicCJones @Paul27ppr @StatesAssembly @TheOnlyGuru Thank you Dominic. Mindful Serve seeks to support our hospitality workers in Jersey to make sure they don’t have to face difficult times alone. More information can be found on our fb page or our website (mindfulserve.co.uk)

@DominicCJones @Paul27ppr @StatesAssembly @TheOnlyGuru @SimonSoar Sadly, I guess there is / was / will always be a tiny minority like this. But after two years of Govt “telling” people how to behave and not interact, the situation seems worse. Very poor.

Sad to have been too busy to listen to all of the @StatesAssembly debate this week but thanks to @TheOnlyGuru insightful, if at times slightly criptic, running Twitter comentary I have been kept informed out of corner of my eye on my second screen. Top marks. You deserve 🍾.

Delighted to help this valuable initiative and the many individuals it will support.  Please check out the Mindful Serve website, and like and share @SimonSoar’s Mindful Serve Jersey Facebook page.  You could also donate if you would be so kind. 🙏 mindfulserve.co.uk

@VCJ_Head @victoriacollege This is outstanding work, amplified by the age of the students.

This year's Chairs award winners are @SimonSoar - @jsyhospitality @TonyMoretta - @DigitalJersey @GraemeSmithJsy - @JerseyBusiness

@DarkJersey @resolutehrje @jsyhospitality I am@looking forward to seeing what Claire will bring to the JHA. At the end of the day, it’s not about what she has done, but about what she will do. Good luck Claire, I’m sure you will make your mark here!

@resolutehrje @jsyhospitality I have a reason and I am never negative

We are proud to announce that our new CEO will be Claire Boscq! Claire will be taking up her new role from Monday and we are excited to see how her decades of experience will shape the Association. I'm sure you'll join us in giving her a very warm welcome buff.ly/3t85mwe

@Krislefeuvre I should also add 40% reduction in menus or operation

@Krislefeuvre By Saturday we were tracking 3.5% closures and that has been steadily increasing since then

Portelet Bay Cafe la Mare Vineyards Nude Food Watersplash Either closing for a few days or severely limiting menus. Whatever today’s numbers the chaos in the workplace is unrelenting.

@JonathanRenouf We still have a seasonal increase to cater for

@SimonSoar Personally I think there's an argument to be won about higher wages meaning slightly higher prices, but to the benefit of local people, slightly less immigration, less pressure on housing etc. Perhaps I'm just overly optimistic.

edition.pagesuite-professional.co.uk/infinity/artic… @SimonSoar Bad news or good news? I would argue it's more good than bad. We need to push up wages in hospitality, that's the way to make it more attractive to locals & reduce dependence on immigrant labour.
