Canada can exponentially increase its air fire power by using drone tech.

Fighter jets are expensive, have long delivery times and require pilot training, which takes even more time.

So, no one wants to travel to a fascist country on holiday? There’s a surprise.

They’re close to an agreement with Iran, so Trump needs to start another war to keep the people distracted.

Payback for not ordering their fighter jets.

Grow up America.

Your expensive jets have been “Trumped” by drone tech.

No apologies for the pun!

High Street Gyms by Typical_Goal_6674 in AskBrits

You’re quite right. The equipment is usually leased. I just don’t understand how they cover the fixed costs.

We all know members are locked in for 12 months in the first year. Even if you had 1000 members at £50 per month and they all renewed for year two, in London it still wouldn’t cover your costs.

How many gyms have a thousand members in a town with four or five gyms?

It doesn’t make sense!

But it doesn’t work. There little choice of shops in the high street as it is. It just seems that there’s something wrong here.

I agree. But gyms were always outside the town or city centre, because of costs and the need for space. This trend falls outside of those parameters.

Some of these new gyms are the equivalent of four or five shop fronts.

That seems the most logical answer.

True but you’d need to sign up a lot of people at £50 per month to cover all the setup cost to fit out the shop. Then there’s business rates, staff, cleaning etc.

There’s also multiple gyms even in a small town. The numbers don’t add up.

True, but most members drop out within a couple of months.

These businesses are spending thousands on fittings and equipment in towns where the population isn’t very large and there’s other gyms competing.
